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.

Cortisone Treatment
$40

Cortisone injections are used to treat severe and sustained deep-tissue acne. Severe acne may include cysts or nodules that develop on the face or other areas. Nodules are large, painful, solid lesions lodged deep within the skin. Cysts are deep, painful, pus-filled lesions. They are often difficult to clear up with common acne treatments such as topical medications. Deep-tissue acne can be painful and last for months. If left untreated, it can cause permanent scarring. Cortisone injections provide fast and effective relief.

This treatment can be used for cystic acne on the face and body. Multiple cysts can be treated in one session.

$40 for 1 cystic acne nodule

$20 for any additional nodules (within same session)

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of cortisone injections?

Injected cortisone penetrates more deeply than just the top layer of skin, making it much more effective than topical solutions in treating cystic acne infection, and preventing scars from forming.

Are there any side effects?

The side effects of cortisone injections are minimal. The most common side effect, atrophy of the fatty tissue around the injection site that results in a slight depression in the skin, is temporary. In some cases, skin takes several months to return to normal. Immediately following an injection, the skin may swell slightly, but this quickly goes away. In dark-skinned people, a small white spot may appear at the injection site, but this, too, disappears soon afterward. There is almost no risk of allergic reaction because cortisone is naturally produced by the body.

What does the procedure consist of?

When used to treat acne, cortisone is injected directly into the affected area, where it starts to reduce inflammation right away. Healing of deep-tissue acne begins immediately after injection. The cortisone injection itself can hurt when placed into an already painful cyst or nodule. In those cases, a local anesthetic may be applied to numb the skin before giving the injection.

Multiple treatments of the same area are not needed because cortisone produces results immediately.
