As mentioned, Fractora Skin Resurfacing treatment is a procedure done on the skin which is highly beneficial and safe for all skin types, textures, and tones. Being one of the most developed and effective skin treatments, Fractora is used for slowing down aging effects, helping with the restoration of skin for a more youthful look, and stimulating of collagen production. This procedure also helps with skin elasticity resulting in significant improvements in the texture and radiance of the skin. 

To answer the question of what is Fractora, it is also important to mention that this laser treatment can be used to treat both deep and superficial lines and wrinkles, as well as sagging skin, acne scars, and stretch marks. 

If you struggle with issues such as smoker lip lines or saggy skin on the neck and décolletage, the Fractora Skin Resurfacing technique will become your best friend. It can be used on all body parts where you notice an elasticity issue. People also use this technique on the upper arms, inner thighs, around the knees, and any place they notice thick skin, sagging, and paper-like surfaces of the skin. 

Many people who struggle with chronic acne, burned skin, and other skin trauma use the Fractora laser treatment because it is highly effective on scarring that is widespread. Taking into consideration that dealing with acne scars is as tedious as the acne itself, it is quite important to make the healing as effective and easy as possible for the patients. Anyone who struggled with acne knows how exhausting it can be, and the scars that are left are sometimes impossible to remove. 

How Fractora Works

Fractora laser treatment is so effective because it uses radio frequency combined with micro-needling. In this way, stimulating and regenerating the skin is safe because this approach allows the skin to start the healing process naturally. In comparison with some other procedures which are done on the surface of the skin, such as the CO2 laser and some types of deep chemical peels, Fractora does not cause extreme pain, and the results are visible in just a few days. With other treatments, the results, if they come, take weeks or even months. 

Aggressive treatments can harm the skin additionally, and that is why they are being less and less recommended by medical professionals who specialize in skin conditions. With the Fractora laser treatment, results come faster, and they carry minimal risks from complications such as scarring, burns, or hyperpigmentation after the treatment.

Here are some potential risks of Fractora Skin Resurfacing:

  • Redness and swelling: After the treatment, you may experience temporary redness and swelling in the treated area. This is a normal reaction and typically subsides within a few days.
  • Discomfort or pain: Some individuals may experience mild discomfort or pain during the procedure. Your healthcare provider will take measures to minimize any discomfort, such as applying a numbing cream or using local anesthesia if needed.
  • Bruising or bleeding: In rare cases, Fractora treatment may cause minor bruising or bleeding at the treatment site. This is typically minimal and resolves on its own.
  • Infection: Anytime the skin’s integrity is compromised, there is a risk of infection. Your healthcare provider will provide you with post-treatment care instructions to minimize this risk. It’s essential to follow these instructions carefully.
  • Hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation: Changes in skin pigmentation may occur following Fractora treatment. This can result in either darkening (hyperpigmentation) or lightening (hypopigmentation) of the treated skin. These changes are usually temporary but, in rare cases, can be permanent.
  • Scarring: While rare, there is a minimal risk of scarring following Fractora treatment. This risk is typically higher for individuals with a history of keloids or abnormal scarring.
  • Skin texture changes: Fractora treatment aims to improve skin texture, but in some cases, it may cause temporary or permanent changes in texture. This can include uneven skin texture or roughness.
  • Eye injury: If Fractora treatment is performed near the eyes, there is a risk of eye injury. Proper eye protection should always be used during the procedure to minimize this risk.

It’s important to discuss these potential risks and any specific concerns with a qualified healthcare provider or dermatologist before undergoing Fractora Skin Resurfacing. They can provide you with a comprehensive assessment of the risks and benefits based on your individual circumstances.
