I’m 49, what is recovery time for both? I’m 49 with thin skin on my face that’s aging. I’ve had one doctor tell me I needed micro needling the other said fractoria was better. What is your opinion? Recovery time?
Answer: Fractora vs. Mirconeedling Thanks for your question. Microneedling on its own is great if you want to maintain already ideal skin. Fractora uses Radio Frequency and controlled heat to precisely injure the skin in order to achieve results. While the procedures might resemble one another, they are completely different in terms of intensity. One could say Microneedling walked so Fractora could run. Best,Anil Shah MD

Answer: There are many different types of microneedling out in the market. Hello. There are many different types of microneedling out in the market. You have not mentioned what your needs are. Fractora is very popular in my practice and the downtime is about two days. This varies depending upon patient and area. Fractora is excellent for lines and smoothing. We also have Voluderm which is a lesser type of tripollar microneedling. Downtime is hours and I would recommend one or the other based on needs and physical exam.

Answer: Facial Aging Rejuvenation -- PRP/Microneedling, Lasers (Fraxel/Clear+Brilliant/Erbium/Co2), Sculptra, Thermage/Ultherapy, Botox Hi Amy, I would not recommend a single treatment or type of treatment alone to provide substantial facial rejuvenation. Improvement in facial aging requires a combination approach and a series of treatments. A formal evaluation would be needed to determine which treatments / procedures would be best suited for you.Generally speaking, for facial rejuvenation I often suggest a combination approach consisting of:1) skin care with products and microneedling/PRP2) PDT light therapy few times a month with growth factors3) laser treatments like clear and brilliant regularly and a few times a year Fraxel, Viva, Co2/Erbium4) Sculptra injections a few times a year for collagen production with fillers like Juvederm, Restylane, Belotero, Radiesse, Bellafill5) Thermage / Ultherapy for yearly skin tightening with or without PDO or cone based InstaLift threads for lifting6) Botox every 2 to 3 months to stop movement lines and prevent lines at restSee an expert!

Answer: Different options in depth penetration Thank you for submitting your question. Fractora is essentially the same as microneedling, however Fractora also uses radio frequency which goes above and beyond microneedling. The pin type technology provides different options in depth penetration. Downtime for both treatments last about two days.
