Thanks for your question and your photos. While your treatment does seem more on the aggressive side, your skin's reaction is normal. Your skin will be red with some blood and fluid coming from the holes made by the needles. Do not touch these areas and wash your face with a gentle cleanser morning and night. If any other concerns arise, be sure to contact the physician that performed the treatment. BestAnil Shah MD
Thank you for posting your question about how your skin should feel after a fractora RF treatment. Immediately after treatment your skin will be red. You will see the micro needle points over the treated area and depending on the PIN number and energy used for your treatment (depends what you are having treatment for) you would expect some serous fluid to leak from the tiny holes. Serous fluid is your body's natural healing and one of the ways that you skin gets tighter and rejuvenated after treatment. After a few days when your skin will be red, you will notice tiny scabs over the treated area. These can make your skin feel slightly rough. When these are healed you can apply makeup. New skin will quickly form and your skin will feel tighter as well as smoother with reduced scarring etc in 7-10 days.
Thanks for you question. Sorry to hear that you were in pain during the procedure. Depending on the patient, sometimes numbing cream just isn't enough. In the future, ask your technician if they have other numbing agents. Such as injectible lidocaine, pain medications, an IV drip, or ProNox...
Washing the face after Fractora either the same day or the day after the procedure depends on the recommendations of the doctor that performed the procedure.In my practice I recommend my patients to wash their face the next day.
I highly recommend fractora rf since it is consistent and has a fast recovery time. Typically 2-3 sessions are needed.
