Fractora

Usually, the downtime period is proportional to the degree of skin correction a treatment can achieve. However, this is not the case with Fractora! Despite it delivering superior results to any other fractional system, the downtime is relatively short, making it suitable for even those with busy lifestyles. Skin is likely to be pink for a few hours to a day or two. You may see tiny pin-point dark dots where the pins have worked their magic. Make–up can be applied 1-2 days post treatment or a medical foundation such as iConceal can be used the next day. As collagen and elastin are produced and skin repair occurs, your skin will appear fresher and tighter. You must remember that downtime periods cannot be guaranteed for any given individual, but overall patients are very happy with this aspect.

Depending on your Fractora treatment regime you can expect to have between 1-3 sessions plus maintenance. Maintenance will be discussed on final treatment. This may include at home products and other combination treatments. Fractora will only be performed after consultation in which then the Doctor or Therapist can create a detailed plan of your treatments.

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

Fractora uses radiofrequency which is colour-blind technology. The benefit is that it can be used on all skin colours. The unique properties allow even darker tones to receive treatment with minimal risks.

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

Fractora is a fractional system, thus it works in a dot-like pattern. In these dots, depending on the depth setting, Fractora will remove all or part of the epidermis. Beyond this ablative zone, there is a zone of coagulation; similar to the change seen with some deeper chemical peels. Beyond this zone, there is a much deeper level of dermal heating.. It is this dermal heating that leads to significant skin tightening. The outcome of these changes is unparalleled skin remodelling with improved texture, reduced pigmentation and redness and tighter skin.

Fractora can be used in any area that can benefit from skin renewal. The most commonly treated areas include the lower eyelid, upper eyelid, smile lines, forehead, cheeks, lower face, mouth and neck. Face and body areas that exhibit wrinkles, discolouration or acne scarring are suitable for treatment.

Fractionated RF energy found in Fractora is a scientifically proven method to reduce wrinkles.

It is minimally invasive, using a matrix of micro-pins to resurface and restore the skin, providing exceptional results with almost no patient downtime.

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

Since patient downtime is minimal, makeup can be applied 1 to 2 days after the treatment. Patients can expect to see micro lesions a few days after treatment and slight redness for up to 1 week depending on treatment parameters. A medical foundation such as iConceal can be used the next day.

You will be given clear aftercare instructions following your procedure. Patients should moisturise the treatment area and avoid direct sun exposure. It is also recommended that patients use a good, broad-spectrum, physical filter sunscreen every day. In addition to reducing their future risk of skin cancer, sunscreens also reduce wrinkles and slow the ageing process. We have a full range of CellDerma physical filter sunscreens to suit all skin types and colours.
