Focus on Fractora

You are here: Home / Anti-aging / Focus on Fractora

Here at enhanceskin we offer two types of Fractora treatments.

  • Fractora – Fractional Resurfacing PLUS, and
  • Fractora Firm

Lacey Boyd

Both treatments utilise Radio Frequency and research shows this technology stimulates the production of collagen and elastin; both of these proteins begin to decline with age. But what’s the difference between the two? Here’s Lacey to explain….

 

 

 

 

Fractora Fractional Resurfacing PLUS

What does it do?

The radio frequency targets collagen and elastin encouraging their production, this happens from the micro injury that is caused by the pins/needles encouraging the replenishment of the skin cells to repair.

Where is it used?

This treatment can be used to treat the skin on arms, hands, face, neck and décolletage.

How will it help?

  • Reduce fine or deep lines
  • Tighten
  • Reduces red veins and brown spots
  • Improve skin texture
  • Reduce acne scarring
  • Address enlarged pores

How soon will I see results?

Subtle changes can be seen at your 2 week follow up and ongoing improvement through the next few months.

How many treatments will I require?

You should expect to have between 1 and 4 Fractora Fractional Resurfacing PLUS sessions over a year. No more frequently than a month apart. One week afterwards is set aside for healing. Vitamin A will be prescribed for a month pre Fractora treatment.

Fractora Firm

What does it do?

This relaxing and non invasive radio frequency facial increases collagen and elastin production.

Where is it used?

This treatment can be used to treat the skin on the face and neck.

How will it help?

  • Treat sagging skin on the entire face
  • Treat a lack of definition in certain areas, such as forehead, crows feet, upper eyelids, lower eyelids, nasolabial folds, jowls, smile lines and neck.

How soon will I see results?

You will begin to see results around 3 months after your final treatment. For faster results Fractora Firm can be used in conjunction with other treatments, facials, injectables and/or fillers.

How many treatments will I require?

We recommend that weekly sessions are performed over six weeks, currently we offer a seventh treatment complimentary.
