Acne Treatment With Fractora Laser

Who Is a Candidate for Fractora Laser Acne Treatments?

Ideal candidates for Fractora Laser Acne Treatment are those individuals seeking long-term relief from acne as well as acne scars. This treatment is ideal for those who suffer from surface-level acne, as well as cystic acne. Candidates are drawn to the non-invasive nature of the procedure and the fact that it requires very minimal downtime. Fractora is safe and suitable for all skin types. Fractora treatments are especially safe for those with sensitive skin and dark skin tones as they pose very little risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Fractora Treatment

Fractora is an advanced and innovative skin rejuvenation treatment that utilizes radiofrequency technology to enhance the skin’s texture, tone, and firmness. This non-invasive procedure utilizes a handheld device with tiny pins that deliver controlled micro-needling and radiofrequency energy to the targeted areas of the skin. The micro-needles create micro-injuries, stimulating the skin’s natural healing response, while the radiofrequency energy promotes collagen and elastin production.

Fractora Results

Fractora’s dual-action approach addresses a variety of skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and overall skin texture irregularities. This treatment is especially effective in managing acne and staving off future breakouts. Each treatment provides remarkable results with minimal downtime, making it a popular choice for individuals seeking to achieve smoother, more youthful skin without the need for more invasive procedures. Optimal results can be seen anywhere from 2-4 weeks after treatment. You may require touch-up sessions when the benefits begin to fade after about a year.
