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 does “Food Intolerance” mean?

The terms ‘food allergy’, ‘food intolerance’ and ‘food sensitivity/hypersensitivity’ are often used interchangeably and are often confused, but essentially they all mean an abnormal reaction to certain foods which can manifest themselves in a number of different ways. They may result from mechanisms that involve activation of the immune system, and the subsequent production of antibodies, or reactions that are not immune-mediated.

The type of food intolerance we test for is known as IgG-mediated allergy/food intolerance/food hypersensitivity

These reactions are characterized by the production of IgG antibodies which cause chronic inflammation. They are responsible for the ‘delayed-onset’ of symptoms, which can occur several hours or days after foods are ingested.

What is the difference between an allergy and an intolerance?

A food allergy is an immune reaction that results in the production of IgE antibodies. The reactions are usually immediate and symptoms can range from rashes, swelling, violent sickness, difficulty breathing and anaphylactic shock.

Food intolerances that are immune related result in the production of IgG antibodies and symptoms are usually not as severe and may not appear for several days.

What types of symptoms could I see from IgG Food Intolerances?

Symptoms include: anxiety, depression, IBS, headaches/migraines, fatigue, hypertension, asthma, joint pain, chronic rhinitis, arthritis, weight problems, fibromyalgia, eczema, acne and other inflammatory skin conditions.

What can I expect to see in my result report?

Each food will be given a numerical value according to the strength of antibody reaction. Depending upon the antibody level detected, foods are categorized and colour-coded as: ELEVATED, BORDERLINE or NORMAL.
