Fractora (fractional radiofrequency)

Fractora is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that utilises fractional radiofrequency (RF) technology to rejuvenate the skin and address various skin concerns. It is designed to improve skin texture, reduce wrinkles, and promote skin tightening. The procedure involves the use of a specialised device that delivers controlled RF energy through micro-needles to stimulate collagen production and tissue remodelling.

Fractora is recommended for individuals who want to address the following skin concerns or conditions: • Fine lines and wrinkles • Skin laxity (sagging skin) • Acne scars • Irregular skin texture • Hyperpigmentation • Enlarged pores • Stretch marks • Overall skin rejuvenation

The benefits of Fractora may include: • Improved skin texture and tone • Reduced appearance of wrinkles and fine lines • Enhanced skin firmness and elasticity • Diminished acne scars and other blemishes • Reduction in hyperpigmentation and age spots • Minimised pore size • Enhanced overall skin quality

Fractora may not be suitable for individuals with certain medical conditions or skin issues, including: • Active skin infections or open wounds • Recent sunburn • History of keloid scarring • Pregnancy or breastfeeding • Implanted electronic devices (pacemakers) • Severe dermatitis or eczema in the treatment area

Fractora works by delivering fractional RF energy deep into the skin's layers through micro-needles. This energy generates controlled heat, which stimulates collagen and elastin production. The micro-injuries created by the needles trigger the skin's natural healing response, resulting in skin remodelling and the improvement of various skin imperfections.

Fractora has demonstrated effectiveness in clinical studies and has gained popularity in the field of cosmetic dermatology. However, individual results may vary, and the long-term effects of the procedure may require ongoing maintenance treatments.

Fractora is part of the InMode family of medical aesthetic devices. InMode is a company that specialses in advanced technology for minimally invasive cosmetic procedures. The specific history of Fractora may be traced to the development of fractional RF technology in the field of dermatology and aesthetics.

Fractora is a trademarked brand associated with InMode, but the use of fractional RF technology for skin rejuvenation is a generic concept utilised by various manufacturers and practitioners in the field of cosmetic and aesthetic medicine.

Fractora procedures are typically performed by licensed healthcare professionals, such as dermatologists, plastic surgeons, or trained medical aestheticians.

Training in Fractora procedures is provided by InMode and may be available to licensed practitioners, physicians, and medical professionals. Training programs cover device operation, safety protocols, and treatment techniques.

Fractora requires the use of a specialised RF device that includes micro-needles. The device may come with various needle configurations to address specific treatment goals.

Fractora procedures can be performed in medical offices, dermatology clinics, or aesthetic centres equipped with the necessary equipment and a sterile environment. No specialised facilities are typically required.
