Fractional Radiofrequency Skin Resurfacing provides an effective treatment to repair and rejuvenate damaged skin. This treatment can diminish the appearance of wrinkles, scars, visible pores, stretch marks, and uneven skin texture and pigmentation, creating noticeably smoother, healthier skin.
Skin Structure and Aging The skin consists of three layers: the epidermis (surface), dermis (mid-layer), and subcutis (fat layer). The epidermis contains pigment-producing melanocytes, while the dermis is composed of collagen and elastin fibers that provide strength and elasticity. As the body ages, the epidermis thins and dermal collagen is gradually lost, leading to visible blemishes, sagging, and wrinkles.
Fractional RF Needling (Fractora) Fractional RF needling (Fractora) targets both the epidermis and dermis by delivering energy through thousands of tiny, deep columns called microthermal treatment zones (MTZs). Within each MTZ, old pigmented cells are expelled and the penetration of the dermis triggers collagen remodeling and new collagen formation. Because the laser treats intensively within these zones while leaving the surrounding healthy tissue unaffected, the skin heals significantly faster than with traditional full-surface treatments.

Fractional Radiofrequency (FR) provides an effective treatment to repair and rejuvenate damaged skin. This treatment can diminish the appearance of wrinkles, scars, visible pores, stretch marks, and uneven skin texture and pigmentation, creating noticeably smoother, healthier skin.
Fractional Radiofrequency Skin Resurfacing is an innovative, non-surgical skin resurfacing treatment that allows us to offer our patients rejuvenated, more youthful looking skin with minimal down time. The treatment uses tiny pins that safely deliver energy through the skin’s surface. This creates tiny wounds which initiates a natural healing process and accelerates the formation of new, healthy tissue. The result is an improved skin tone and texture, and lessening of fine lines, wrinkles and acne scars. Since the wounds are so small, there is significantly less downtime and the treatments are much more comfortable when compared to traditional ablative laser resurfacing treatments.
In most cases, patients can return to work directly after treatments or the following day, depending upon their skin condition and treatment.
Some of the side effects and complications that may occur after aggressive or ablative fractional laser treatments, particularly on neck skin, include:Fractional Rf
The radiofrequency resurfacing procedure normally takes between 20 to 45 minutes, depending on the size and location of the targeted area. A topical anesthetic may apply before treatment which will increase the length of your appointment. Since each individual’s skin condition is unique, some people may have satisfactory results with three to four treatments, but others may require more sessions to achieve the dramatic results they seek.Fractional Rf
Your skin will be red for the first 24 hours after treatment and you may experience some mild swelling and discomfort. With more aggressive treatments, there can be redness and flaking of affected skin for up to 5 days. You can resume your regular skin care and makeup routine 24 hours after treatment. Sun exposure avoid during the healing period.
Yes, this procedure is considered safe for most patients. Treatments use radiofrequency technology, which is proven to be safe and effective for all skin tones. A consultation with one of our doctors required to determine if this treatment is right for you.
