Fractora skin treatment is a fractional resurfacing treatment that remodels collagen to help restore skin to its youthful appearance.

What areas can be treated?

Fractora can be used on any area that can benefit from skin resurfacing. Face and body areas that exhibit aging skin, discoloration and acne scarring are suitable for treatment.

How many treatments will I need?

Depending on your Fractora treatment regime, you can expect to have between 1-6 sessions.

How quickly will I see results?

Visible results can be seen immediately, but typically after two weeks the most noticeable results appear. Improvements continue up to three months after treatment.

What is the benefit of fractionated energy?

Fractionated RF energy found in Fractora is a scientifically proven method to remodel skin. It is minimally invasive, using a matrix of micro pins to resurface the skin, providing exceptional results with almost no patient downtime.

Can anyone use Fractora?

The benefit of Fractora’s color blind technology is that it can be used on all skin types. The unique properties allow even darker tones to receive treatment.

What is the benefit of radio frequency energy?

RF energy heats the deep layers of the skin in a controlled way to revitalize the collagen. The treatment will improve skin complexion and texture for a more radiant and youthful appearance.

Can this be used in combination with other treatments?

Fractora can be used in the same treatment session, or a few days after other treatments. Fractora can also be combined with additional InMode energy treatments or injectables to achieve a more extensive full face result.

What kind of post procedure care is required?

Patients should moisturize the treatment area and avoid direct sun exposure. It is also recommended that patients use a good, broad spectrum sunscreen every day. Makeup can be applied 1 to 2 days after the treatment. Patients should expect to see micro lesions a few days after treatment and slight redness for up to 1 week depending on treatment parameters.

Will Dermaplaning make my hair grow back darker and/or thicker?

No, this is physiologically impossible. Hormones are responsible for hair growth. The soft, fine vellus hair will grow back slowly – usually in about 4 weeks and no different than it was previously.

How often can this procedure be done?

Dermaplaning can be done every 3-4 weeks. Treating the skin in this manner removes about 2 – 3 weeks’ worth of dead skin cells. You should leave enough time between treatments to allow the skin to complete its normal skin cycle of approximately 30-45 days before repeating.

If I want to add a peel, how do I know which one is right for me?

We’ll take care of making this decision for you based on your skin’s condition the day you arrive for your appointment. We have peels for all skin types/conditions and will discuss the best option for you!

Is Dermaplaning suitable for all skin types?

All skin types can benefit from Dermaplaning. It is particularly beneficial for clients suffering with fine lines & wrinkles, acne scarring, fine vellus facial hair (peach fuzz), uneven & rough skin, dull skin. It is important, however, to always discuss any allergies or skin sensitivities with your technician before starting a treatment

Is Dermaplaning painful?

No. The treatment is very comfortable and often feels similar to the sensation of shaving other areas of the body.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does nutrition & lifestyle affect the skin?

To generate healthy new skin cells the body needs certain nutrients that come from your diet. Additionally, the skin relies on the function of many body systems, and can often be an outward manifestation of how well your body is functioning internally. How well the body functions internally can be affected by the food we eat. Good nutrition can:

Maximize collagen production
Prevent inflammation
Promote healing
Balance hormones
Regulate digestion
Support sleep

How will you access my nutrition and internal health?

Our clients are treated on an individual basis, receiving a personalized plan to address your specific concerns. We analyze dietary needs, environments, lifestyles, stress levels, symptoms and patterns and recognize that these factors all contribute to an imbalance in a network of biologic systems, creating symptoms inside and out. We look to try and find the root cause of symptoms and believe the body has the ability to heal itself when treated and supported correctly with nutrition, supplementation and lifestyle. Possible “root” causes include:

Hormone imbalances
Inflammation
Toxicity
Immunity
Digestion
Liver dysfunction

What foods are common culprits to acne, eczema and rosacea flare ups?

Dairy
Sugar
Wheat (or Gluten)
Caffeine
Fried food
