What Is RF Microneedling with Fractora?

RF microneedling is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that combines two proven technologies: microneedling and radiofrequency energy. The Fractora device uses a matrix of thin pins that create controlled micro-injuries in the skin while simultaneously delivering radiofrequency energy into the deeper dermal layers.

The result is a treatment that addresses surface-level concerns like texture and pigmentation while also targeting deeper issues like skin laxity and wrinkles. Fractora is effective for the face, neck, and body, and can be customized based on the depth of treatment needed.

Benefits of RF Microneedling with Fractora

Fractora RF microneedling delivers comprehensive skin benefits, such as:

  • Combines microneedling and radiofrequency for enhanced results
  • Stimulates collagen production at multiple skin depths
  • Tightens and firms loose or sagging skin
  • Improves skin texture, tone, and smoothness
  • Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
  • Minimizes pore size for a refined complexion
  • Addresses acne scars and other scarring
  • Safe for all skin types when properly adjusted
  • Customizable intensity for targeted treatment
  • Minimal downtime compared to ablative laser procedures

How does RF microneedling differ from regular microneedling?

Traditional microneedling stimulates collagen through mechanical micro-injuries alone. RF microneedling adds radiofrequency energy that heats the deeper tissue, providing additional collagen stimulation and skin tightening that standard microneedling cannot achieve.

How many RF microneedling treatments will I need?

Most patients achieve optimal results with a series of 3 to 4 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Your provider will recommend a treatment plan based on your specific skin concerns.

Does RF microneedling hurt?

A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to minimize discomfort. Most patients describe the sensation as mild prickling and warmth. The numbing ensures the procedure is well-tolerated.

Is RF microneedling safe for darker skin tones?

Yes. Unlike some laser treatments, RF microneedling with Fractora can be safely performed on various skin types, including darker skin tones. Your provider will adjust settings appropriately for your skin type.

How long does it take to see results from RF microneedling?

Initial improvement in skin texture is often visible within 1 to 2 weeks. More significant results develop over 2 to 3 months as new collagen forms. Results continue to improve after each subsequent treatment.

Can RF microneedling help with acne scars?

Yes. RF microneedling is highly effective for reducing the appearance of acne scars. The combination of microneedling and radiofrequency stimulates collagen remodeling that helps smooth indented scars.

What is the downtime after RF microneedling?

Most patients experience 1 to 3 days of redness and minor swelling. Pinpoint marks fade within a few days. Many patients return to work and normal activities the next day, using makeup to cover any residual redness.
