Fractora Procedure 101 The specific area being treated with Fractora is numbed with an anesthetic cream before the procedure. This elective outpatient procedure involves fractional radio frequency, delivered through a collection of tiny, sterile pins on a hand held device. The brush-like device creates micro-lesion dots in the sub-dermal skin tissue without actually puncturing the skin. There are no open wounds created. The treatment delivers a gentle, pulsed sensation of heat to the area for the duration of the 45 to 120 minute session. The standard course of Fractora treatment is a series of three to six treatments each occurring about one month apart. The breaks between treatment sessions allow the bodyÃÆ'¢â‚¬â„¢s natural healing cycle, including collagen stimulation, to take place. Side Effects and Concerns Minor side effects can result, but usually resolve within a week. They include: Skin redness Swelling Temporary skin texture and pigment changes Acne-like skin breakout Recovery Time and Benefits with Fractora There is basically no downtime post-procedure.

The price ranges from $750 to $2,500 per treatment. Medical insurance does not pay for Fractora because it is an elective, cosmetic procedure. Patients are generally pleased with the results of their Fractora treatments, especially when they are performed by an experienced, licensed healthcare professional.
