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

What is a chemical peel?

The “chemicals” in chemical peels actually come from fruit acids, enzymes, sugar cane and milk.. So don’t let that word scare you away! Chemical peels cause intentional damage to the epidermis and/or dermis with the goal of stimulating new tissue to improve skin texture and tone.

Who are chemical peels beneficial for?

Acne and acne scars
Wrinkles & fine lines
Melasma
Hyperpigmentation
Sun damaged skin
Sagging skin

Will I actually peel?

In most cases, no. The term “peel” is simply another way of saying “removing dead skin and flaws”. On rare occasions, one may flake after receiving a chemical peel, but this can usually be managed and camouflaged, and will resolve quickly. Other peels, such as our “Glow Peel”, are designed to peel. This type of peeling can range from flaking to peeling similarly to a “snake”.

How many peels will I need?

We believe in repeated treatments for progressive and gradual results, and to avoid the side effects and downtime associated with deeper peels. When peels are performed regularly, the skin gets used to this process and begins to rejuvenate itself like younger skin. To be sure that the body doesn’t react to this deep exfoliation as it would to trauma, which can lead to pigment changes, exfoliation must be introduced gradually giving the skin time to adjust.

How do I know which peel to book for?

As long as you book yourself a slot, the peel choice at the time of booking (if you’re booking over the phone or online) is not crucial. Your practitioner will complete a thorough skin analysis and recommend an individualized treatment program to address your skin concerns. She will create a personalized program that combines professional treatments with home care products since they work synergistically to improve the health and beauty of skin.

On what areas of the body are chemical peels used?

Chemical peels are usually performed on the face, but may also be used on the neck, décolleté, back and hands.
