I am a 48 year old woman with sun damage and wrinkles on my forehead and around my eyes. I have had 3 Fraxel treatments, but really didn't see any change. Would the Fractora Skin Resurfacing work better for me?

Answer: Fractora vs Fraxel Fractora is a radio-frequency treatment directed through small needles into the skin. Treating the skin from the inside. It can be used to tighten as well as resurface the skin, this includes amazing results with active acne and acne scarring. There are different needle / pin heads which increase the concentration of energy in a more superficial treatment or decrease the energy but deliver it deeper. Fraxel is a Co2 Fractional laser applied to the skin surface so it treated from the outside in. There are different types of fraxel to do different things. Perhaps you should meet with your practitioner to discuss why Fraxel has not helped. Or if your relationship has broken down find a doctor who provides both Fraxel and Fractora.

Answer: Fractora Versus Fraxel Great question. These are both great technologies. Please make sure that the Fraxel Re:pair (for deeper tightening) and the Fraxel 1927 (for the more superficial lines). Given your age and the location, I'm betting most of the lines are fairly superficial. Personally, I do think the Fractora does more for wrinkles. Fraxel requires at least 4 (and frequently up to 6) treatments. With Fractora, I almost always see a big difference with 2 treatments. In fact, even after 1 treatment, I've never had a patient say they didn't see much. Fraxel does not have the scabbing and less downtime of Fractora, but it is a slower process. Talk to your doc and/or get a second opinion.
