What is Fractora™?

Is dull, lax, unevenly colored skin giving you a tired look in spite of your youthful energy? Sun exposure and the passing of time have a way of robbing the skin of its firmness, smooth texture, and natural radiance. Dr. Anna Petropoulos offers a safe, non-surgical solution: Fractora fractional radiofrequency skin rejuvenation treatments. Boston-area residents rely on her for the latest skin renewal options and trust her for her specialized expertise and warm, caring personality.

Benefits Of Fractora™

Fractora™ can deliver improvements in symptoms of aging skin such as deep lines, texture, blood vessels, fine lines, pigment irregularities, and redness. Using different technology would require multiple treatments to achieve the same results as fractora™. Because it is a non-surgical procedure, there is also no scarring to worry about.

what areas can Fractora™ treat?

Non-surgical Fractora™ treatments are safe for use on the upper and lower eyelids, cheeks, around the mouth, and the neck – areas that are often too delicate for many treatments. This comprehensive yet gentle treatment can improve a wide range of concerns, including:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Rough, uneven texture
• Brown spots and excess pigment
• Acne scars

How Does Fractora™ Work?

Fractora is an advanced treatment that delivers radiofrequency (RF) energy into the skin to gently eliminate excess pigment and heat tissues for renewed collagen production. Fractora™ treats pinpoint areas of the skin while adjacent areas are left untreated. This is similar to the way Fraxel® and other fractional lasers work. Because the entire surface of the skin is not treated, the skin heals rapidly and downtime is minimized. Dr. Petropoulos will customize the treatment to the patient’s aesthetic goals and target areas by adjusting settings on the Fractora™ system and changing tips on the handpiece.

Fraxel Laser® Vs Fractora™

Both Fraxel and Fractora™ devices use fractional technologies, but at different wavelengths, to achieve results. Fractora™ uses radiofrequency energy to stimulate the regenerative process. The Fraxel laser uses light energy for collagen production. Fractora is more effective and can be used on all skin types safely.

Fractora™ Skin Rejuvenation treatment

We perform Fractora™ treatments in the comfort of our relaxing office setting. To ensure utmost comfort for our patients, we begin by applying topical or injectable numbing medicine. Once the areas are prepared and the appropriate Fractora™ treatment tip is selected, Dr. Petropoulos applies the handpiece to the skin as it emits quick pulses of RF energy. Patients feel a warm or hot sensation as the RF energy permeates the skin. To ensure optimal results, we make multiple passes over each area. While the total treatment time varies with individual patient needs, sessions typically range from 45 minutes to 2 hours.
