Fractora is very different from Pelleve.  Pelleve is an early edition radiofrequency device which has limited effects using bulk heating and poor temperature monitoring.  We have found Pelleve not to be effective or consistent when using it.  Fractora works by inserting needles within the skin (bypasses the epidermal barrier) and will work on skin, wrinkles, and scars.  Radiofrequency devices which penetrate the skin (bottom up devices)  have some of the hottest devices on the market currently due to being able to create results much more powerful than top down (through the skin devices).
