What is it?

Fractora treatments can be utilized to rejuvenate the entire face and neck area, including the eyelids, resulting in a more vibrant, youthful look. This cutting-edge, minimally invasive procedure combines micro-needling with radiofrequency waves to not only firm up existing collagen, but also stimulate the creation of new collagen within the skin. Fine to deep wrinkles are reduced significantly, sagging skin is lessened and the overall skin tone and texture is noticeably smoother. 

What to expect

The Fractora device is applied to the skin, and the radiofrequency energy and micro-needles create controlled micro-injuries. The treatment typically lasts between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the area being treated. During the procedure, you might feel a warm sensation and slight discomfort, but it is generally well-tolerated due to the numbing cream. 

After the procedure, your skin will likely be red and slightly swollen, similar to a mild sunburn. This usually subsides within a few days. Downtime is minimal, but it's important to follow post-treatment care instructions, which may include avoiding direct sun exposure, using a gentle cleanser and applying a soothing moisturizer. You may start to see initial improvements in skin texture and tone within a few days, with continued improvement over the next few weeks as collagen production increases.
