Fractora
What is your concern?
Anti-aging
Fractora treatment is ideal for both fine and deep lines and wrinkles as well as acne and acne scars. Treatment is effective on both face and neck as well as anywhere on the body. Fractora can also treat superficial vascular lesions (red veins) and pigmented areas. Fractora is so effective because a number of benefits result from the one procedure. It adds volume by stimulating collagen production while tightening the skin as well as oblating vascular issues and age spots. Because of variable setting options Fractora may be used on all skin types including type VI (black) without the complications of depigmentation (bleaching the skin) or hyper-pigmentation (dark pigmentation of the skin). This allows treatment year around regardless of sun exposure or tanning, so you don’t have to wait until winter.
Female genital issues
Fractora ‘v’ is the first and only non surgical treatment to address female external genital concerns both for function and appearance. It is frequently combined with the Votiva ‘v’ for vaginal issues of dryness, laxity and incontinence.( See Votiva for more information).
The Procedure
The Fractora procedure is a minimally invasive radio frequency delivery system. It is performed using topical anesthesia cream and involves minimal to moderate discomfort. If the patient has a low pain tolerance or needs more aggressive treatment, injectable anesthetic and/or oral medication is available. Treatments usually take 20-40 minutes depending on the areas to be treated. Usually a set of 3 treatments is recommended for best results.
What can I expect?
Healing from Fractora treatment usually takes place quickly with 0-2 days down time, although 4-5 days may be required if really aggressive treatment is desired. Some results are apparent immediately, while the greater benefit and tightening may take 3-4 months. The results are permanent. Even though Fractora turns back the age clock, it can’t stop it completely and normal aging progression still happens. For longer lasting and enhanced results overall, this treatment may be combined with amnio stem cells.

HOW DOES RF FRACTORA MICRONEEDLING WORK?
When radio frequency and Microneedling are combined in this single innovative treatment the result is a fast and very effective treatment to provide skin tightening and resurfacing. This is truly a game changer. Radio frequency treatments send controlled energy wavelengths through the skin to safely and gently heat the deeper layers of skin. This combination stimulates the collagen and elastin production even more than the individual treatments and works well for darker skin as well.
Skin aging happens simply with the passage of time but is influenced also by stress, smoking, diet and sun exposure. The integrity of skin is maintained by elastin and collagen and the decrease or gradual loss of both of these can take a toll on your appearance and be very
frustrating.
At Claremore and Pryor RF Fractora Microneedling treatments combine controlled radio frequency energy that heats the deep layers of skin which stimulates collagen and triggers the revitalizing process on a deep molecular level. Skin naturally produces both collagen and
elastin to repair the skin every day. This extra stimulus for repair helps to fill in wrinkles and scars producing more plump, toned and smoother skin.

The first thing you will see is a definite glow to the skin. After approximately two weeks, you will begin to see the reduction of fine lines and notice a more rested looking youthful appearance. When you complete a series of RF Fractora Microneedling treatments the results will be even more obvious. Collagen continues to ramp up for six months following treatment as will the tone
and tightness of your skin.
