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 facial should I begin with?

We recommend starting with whichever level you are comfortable with, however, our Level 3 facial is our most advanced, most popular, and most effective. If you feel comfortable, we recommend jumping straight to it and we will ensure it is customized appropriately to your skin’s needs and tolerability.

How often should I come in for a facial?

This depends on your skin concerns and goals. For best results, we recommend coming in every two weeks until we reach your goal, and then transition into maintenance treatments every 4-6 weeks.

What is LED light therapy?

LED Light therapy is the application of specific wavelengths of light energy to tissue to obtain therapeutic benefits.

In the same way that plants use chlorophyll to convert sunlight into energy, high intensity light emitting diodes (LEDs) utilizing specific, proven wavelengths of light can trigger a natural biostimulatory effect in human tissue. Research has shown that LED light therapy can increase circulation, accelerate tissue repair, kill acne bacteria, decrease inflammation, improve skin tone, texture and clarity, decrease under eye wrinkles as well as ease muscle and joint pain, stiffness, spasm, and pain associated with arthritis.

The treatment is non-invasive, painless, requires no recovery time, and can be used safely on all skin types.

What can I expect during a facial?

We begin with a close examination of the skin, discuss your concerns/goals, and we explain how we plan to customize your treatment to achieve the best possible result for you. If you’re new to treatments with us, we will explain each step as we perform them and will make your comfort a top priority. Expect to feel clean, well taken care of, relaxed and recharged.

Will I break out after a facial?

Not often, but it is possible that you could experience a small breakout after a facial. This often occurs with skin that has remained stagnant for a long period of time. A facial is very stimulating and will often encourage the skin to “purge” before it gets better. This is perfectly normal.

Will you speak to me about nutrition during a facial?

Yes. We’ll introduce the idea of incorporating nutrition and lifestyle to achieve your skin care goals. We are strong believers that nutrition and lifestyle play a vital role in skin health and if you’d like to learn more and take your facial results up a level, we’ll teach you how!

How do I know whether I’ll need a microdermabrasion or a peel with my Level 3 Facial?

We’ll take care of this part for you! No need to decide when you book your appointment. Our practitioners will examine your skin prior to each treatment, discuss your goals/concerns, and will recommend the best plan for your skin the day of your appointment.

What is high frequency?

High frequency uses a glass high frequency electrode that is applied to the surface of the skin. A mild electrical current passes through the neon, or argon gas filled glass electrode, causing it to emit a subtle glow and buzzing noise.

During the treatment, enriched oxygen molecules are produced that create an antibacterial action and a "natural" thermal tissue warming. This reaction helps your blood vessels push away toxins, while the cells in your skin are enriched with nutrients and hydrating volume. This in turn creates an increase in blood circulation and cell renewal that supports increased levels of collagen and elastin. The skin is left feeling instantly energized and noticeably softer after just one treatment.

Its many benefits include treating acne, enlarged pores, fine lines and wrinkles, puffy eyes, dark under eye circles, cellulite and, in some cases, thinning hair.

Is there any downtime?

No. You MAY leave your facial a little bit pink from all the stimulation and/or extractions, however this relieves itself within an hour of your facial.

How should I prepare prior to receiving my treatment?

Do not worry about coming in with a clean face! That’s what you’re coming to us for. However:

Please ensure to discontinue any retinol/retinoids 10 days prior to receiving any facial treatments.
Avoid excess sun exposure 48 hours prior.

Are facials safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding?

Yes. We will customize each facial to ensure it is effective, but also 100% safe for you and your baby.

How soon will I notice a difference in my skin?

Each individual responds differently based on their level of skin concerns, genetics, home care, nutrition and lifestyle. Some may see immediate results, and others will take time, patience and consistency.

Is there anything I need to avoid during a facial?

This depends on the level of facial you’ve received and it is best to discuss this with your practitioner, however some of the main things to avoid would be direct sun exposure, touching the face, and using active ingredients such as benzoyl peroxide, tea tree, strong AHA’s or BHA’s for 24-48 hours post treatment.
