Fractora is great for superficial lines and to help thicken the skin. Variable energies can be used around the face in different regions to get best results. Often 3-4 treatment sessions are necessary for the best result, and then once yearly maintenance treatments are required.
Fractora can be used in this area. Chemical peel is a good treatment as well. Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA
Fractora is a great treatment for under the eyes. I typically use the 60 tip in this area, which is great for superficial lines. As others have stated, a series of treatments is recommended (usually 3 treatments-but depends on severity of lines) and it is best to continue Botox, creams, and other modalities to keep that area looking its best.
Yes, fractora is a great treatment for around the eyes. I usually recommend a of series of 3-4 treatments a month apart depending on the severity of the fine lines/wrinkles and energy used. It works great in conjunction with Botox.
Thank you for your question! There are different types of tips that can be used with Fractora. Specifically, there is a 60 pin tip that is especially made to be used around the eyes for fine lines and wrinkles. The way Fractora works: it is a minimally invasive treatment that uses micro pins to resurface and restore the skin. The RF energy heats the deep layers of the skin in a controlled way to revitalize collagen. It is often suggested to do a series of treatments in order to achieve the most optimum results. Taking a multi-modality approach to anti-aging is a great way to approach things. There is no one size fits all with facial rejuvenation. Using Fractora in conjunction with Botox is a great combination. In order to determine if you are a good candidate for Fractora I would suggest you schedule a consultation with a plastic surgeon who offers Fractora to determine if this is the best course for you.
I love Fractora RF around the eyes. It is a phenomenal treatment. Of course it will depend upon who does the treatment for you and what settings they use. The benefit of this treatment is that it creates your own collagen. I do this treatment all the time and have found that many patients who do it don't need Botox as often after.

Even RF can leave marks, I have seen this with all forms of stamping procedures, or fractional. This includes all the devices like fractional CO2, Profractional erbium, RF MAX, eMatrix, etc..in most cases skin goes back normal within a few week, some cases are prolonged for months. The use of ...
I don't think that the Fractora is as safe as other RF microneedling devices. If the footplate isn't flush with the skin or there is blood or fluid between the skin and footplate, there is a chance for a burn. I think this happened to you and now there is some scarring. I would treat with Fraxel...
This is absolutely normal and typically subsides within just a few days after the procedure. Elevation of your head while you sleep will minimize this as well as using ice packs after your procedure. If you are doing a series of Fractora treatments make sure you remind your treatment...
Thermage has no ability to resurface skin, so look at that particular technology as one that provides subtle firming only. Fractora has more capability to affect the epidermis as well as tighten. Fractora employs tiny needles that are inserted into the skin. As to whether or not that would...
IMO, the use of simple subcision and filler will give you an improvement in over 50% with one procedure. Fractora can be used to treat acne scars, and can improve chickenpox scars, but it would take several sessions for a mild to modest improvement. All the best, Dr Davin S. Lim. Brisbane,...
Fractora could potentially affect ("melt partially") fillers. This could happen if the fillers are placed close to the skin where fractora will be administered, If the fillers were injected deep in the tissues (eg, Voluma is usually injected deep just above the bone) it very unlikely will affect...
