This scientifically proven method targets the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production and skin renewal for amazing skin texture, tone and quality, to address the ageing process by targeting visible signs of ageing.
What is Fractora?
Fractora skin treatment is a minimally invasive, fractional radiofrequency (RF) resurfacing treatment that combines the benefits of microneedling and RF energy to stimulate collagen production, improve the skin’s tone and texture. It’s designed to address many skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, skin laxity, scarring, and discoloration.

Fractora is a versatile treatment that can be used on all skin types and tones, so it’s the perfect solution for those who want to improve their skin complexion and look younger.
What Makes Fractora Skin Resurfacing Unique?
Fractora uses fractionated RF energy delivered through a matrix of micro-pins, making it a versatile and effective fractional skin resurfacing and resurfacing treatment for many skin conditions. It surpasses traditional fractional CO2 treatments by giving better results with minimal downtime and less risk of post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Fractora is great for skin rejuvenation, using radiofrequency to resurface and restore the skin by targeting the deep layers. The treatment is ideal for acne scarring, active acne, uneven skin tone, deeper wrinkles and discoloured skin tones, resulting in noticeable improvements in the skin’s tone and overall skin quality.
How Fractora Works
Fractora works by using fractionated RF energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin, a fractional skin resurfacing method that stimulates collagen production and skin renewal. The treatment involves multiple micro-needles that pierce the skin, creating micro-injuries that trigger the skin’s natural healing process, skin renewal. This process leads to new collagen and elastin production, better skin texture, skin tightening, fewer fine lines and wrinkles and more even skin tone. Fractora is a minimally invasive treatment with almost no patient downtime, perfect for those with busy lifestyles.

This is highly effective for skin texture, deeper wrinkles and uneven skin tone. The minimally invasive treatment is suitable for all skin types and has almost no patient downtime, perfect for those who want significant results without long recovery.

Pre-Treatment & Procedure
Before your Fractora treatment, your practitioner will apply a topical or injectable anaesthetic to the treatment area to ensure your comfort during the procedure. The treatment itself involves a handheld device that delivers RF energy through a matrix of micro-pins, targeting the deeper layers of the skin. You may feel some mild discomfort but most patients find it tolerable. Immediately post treatment the skin may be red or feel sensitive but these effects are temporary and will resolve in a few days. After your treatment avoid direct sun exposure and follow aftercare instructions including using a broad-spectrum sunscreen to achieve the best results.
Number of Sessions
The number of Fractora sessions you will need depends on your individual skin concerns and desired results. Most patients require 1-3 sessions, spaced 6 weeks apart, with each session taking 45-90 minutes. As a minimally invasive treatment Fractora has minimal downtime, you can get back to your daily routine soon after your appointment. Results are long lasting and occasional maintenance sessions may be recommended to maintain your results. During your consultation your doctor will determine the optimal number of sessions and tailor a plan to your skin type and goals.
Treatment
A Fractora treatment takes 45-90 minutes. The treated area is prepared with a topical numbing cream or injectable anaesthetic to ensure comfort during the minimally invasive procedure. RF energy heats the deeper layers of the skin while micro-pins create controlled micro-lesions to stimulate collagen production. A light Fractora treatment allows for quick recovery, often allowing patients to return to work or daily activities within a day or two, despite temporary redness and inflammation. Post treatment redness and pinpoint dark dots may appear but will resolve in days. Makeup can be applied 1-2 days after treatment. Typically how many treatments are needed varies by individual but most patients require 1-3 sessions for optimal results.
Aftercare & Recovery
After a Fractora treatment it’s important to follow a proper aftercare routine to get the best results and minimal downtime. Patients should avoid direct sun exposure and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to protect the skin from further damage. Consistent sun protection not only helps maintain aesthetic improvements but also reduces the risk of developing skin cancer in the future. The treated area may feel hot and sensitive but this can be relieved with aloe vera gel and ice packs. Patients can see immediate results and will continue to improve over the next few weeks. Follow up appointments are recommended to maintain the results of the treatment.
Combination Treatments for Skin Rejuvenation
Fractora can be combined with other energy treatments, such as radiofrequency or other skin renewal technologies, in the same treatment session to enhance results. This flexibility allows for customized solutions, where fractional skin resurfacing and resurfacing treatment can be part of a combination approach to address individual skin concerns.
