Is there a lot of pain associated with the fractora procedure?

There can be discomfort with Fractora or any other RF needling system.  The key to comfort during an RF system is the following:-Powerful topical treatment- Powerful topical treatments may take up to 45 minutes to effectively numb the skin and can make the treatment tolerable-Local anesthetic- Nerve blocks and local anesthetics can make the procedure better for patients with low pain thresholds and patients using higher energy-Oral pain medication- Oral pain medication and relaxation medications can make the procedure even more tolerable.-Cooling- A zimmer chiller or other cooling mechanism can be used to make the patient more comfortable as well.

Comfort or tolerability of the Fractora treatment is extremely technique dependent.  Done correctly, my patients have little to no discomfort.  It involves a topical numbing cream, stretching of the skin and adequate pressure when applying the treatment tip. I also inject lidocaine under the skin.  With this combination therapy, patients find it to be a non-event.  Neck treatments are literally pain free.

Fractora is associated with minimal to none pain during the procedure IF the skin is well anesthetized with topical anesthetic. Post procedure fractora treatment is not associated with pain ( that is what all my patients have told me so far)
