Fractora skin resurfacing is a radiofrequency microneedling facial procedure and is one of the best facial skin treatments around. In fact, Fractora can also reduce acne scars, treat cystic acne, and even improve surgical scarring.

Made by InMode, Fractora is a small hand-held radiofrequency microneedling device. In less scientific terms, this device uses tiny needles to send heat into the outer and deeper layers of your skin.

Like traditional microneedling, the device creates tiny punctures in your skin to stimulate blood flow and collagen production. But, because the Fractora device sends radiofrequency (RF) energy into your skin, the treatment becomes even more effective.

One of the main uses of Fractora is skin tightening and skin rejuvenation. In fact, this RF skin tightening procedure has even been called a mini-facelift and a non-surgical facelift. The Fractora procedure is quick, minimally invasive, with minimal pain or discomfort.

So if you want to reduce wrinkles and leave your skin bright and youthful, call Cool Springs OBGYN in Franklin, TN for a consultation.

Loose or sagging skin around the face

Maybe you were looking for an easy skin tightening facial and you found us. But the benefits don’t stop there!

After initial trials, researchers found that RF microneedling treatments not only tightened loose skin, but also helped with reduce cystic acne and heal acne scars. So, if you’ve been working with a dermatologist and found that other cystic pimple treatments haven’t worked, it might be time to try Fractora. Or even if your skin’s cleared up and you want to reduce old acne scars on your face, Fractora can help.

Can Anyone Get Fractora?

On top of that, Fractora uses color-blind technology so it works on all skin tones without causing hyperpigmentation. It can also improve the appearance of dark spots on your face.

As you can see there are numerous benefits to Fractora and RF microneedling. Making these treatments some of the best skin tightening treatments available today.

When you come in for your RF microneedling treatment, your face will first be cleansed before we apply a numbing cream for your comfort. During normal treatments, a device with tiny needles is applied to the treatment area to create tiny holes in your skin, almost like aerating your skin.

By painlessly causing controlled damage to your skin, microneedling stimulates your body’s natural healing process. As a result, your skin’s collagen production increases. 

How Does Collagen Increase?

RF microneedling adds radiofrequency energy to your skin while creating these tiny wounds. The heat from the RF energy stimulates collagen production and hyaluronic acid production faster than basic microneedling.

After the procedure, your skin will look a little red or flushed. Your doctor will give you specific instructions to take care of your skin while it heals. But in a few weeks, your skin will be fresher, tighter, younger, and brighter.

Does RF Microneedling Hurt?

Typically, there is some mild discomfort associated with microneedling, patients usually don’t have any problems when a topical anesthetic cream is applied before the procedure. During the procedure, you will feel a heating sensation and some light pressure. Because mircroneedling is only skin deep, there shouldn’t be any other discomfort.

On top of our normal Fractora treatment, this procedure also stimulates the production of hyaluronic acid or HA. HA is important for your skin because it attracts many times its own weight in water, which significantly improves skin volume. In fact, HA is often coupled with dermal fillers to improve skin laxity and volume loss.

In order to fill the punctures created by microneedling, your body will produce more HA to hydrate and volumize your skin. We also apply soothing products after your treatment, formulated with HA to keep your skin hydrated.

If you deal with an aggressive type of acne and your normal skin care routine needs a boost, Fractora might be the right option for you. 

The acne-causing bacteria don’t respond well to oxygen or heat. They thrive in the grit that gets stuck in your skin. So by aerating your skin and warming it with RF energy, Fractora helps reduce acne.

Finally, Fractora can reduce and improve acne scarring. By stimulating collagen production and jump starting your skin’s healing process, we can start filling in ice pick scars, rolling scars, boxcar scars, and atrophic scars.

RF microneedling is minimally invasive and has little downtime. If any. Most patients return to work after their treatment. Your face will be a little sensitive after your treatment, and you’ll notice some redness in your skin. But, these symptoms should fade within a few hours.

After your procedure, you should take special care to hydrate your skin. Preferably with products that include hyaluronic acid. Over the next few days, we recommend a zinc-based sunblock to protect your skin.

We recommend only using mineral-based makeup for the next few days after your treatment. But once your skin has had a chance to heal, you can return to your normal routine.

Because each Fractora patient has different needs, you’ll want to discuss prices with your doctor or a member of his staff.
