This January, my husband Eric hit a milestone birthday that left him feeling less than thrilled. Despite my excitement for the celebration, Eric seemed subdued and candidly shared his thoughts with me:
“This was a big birthday. Hearing that number made me think, that’s an old guy. It had a big psychological impact. I started noticing sagginess under my eyes, jaw, cheeks, and chin. I didn’t like how I looked or felt.”
When Eric opened up about his feelings, I was both empathetic and relieved. As an aesthetic doctor, I knew I could help him. I suggested using aesthetic treatments to tighten his skin, and he agreed.
Since Eric wasn’t keen on injectables, we opted for what he calls “the big guns”—our most powerful non-injectable face-lifting treatment: Fractora.
What is Fractora?
Fractora is a skin rejuvenation treatment that combines radiofrequency energy with microneedling to enhance collagen production and improve skin texture. The treatment involves using a device with tiny needles to create micro-injuries on the skin’s surface, triggering the body’s natural healing process. Simultaneously, radiofrequency energy is delivered to the deeper skin layers, heating the tissues to stimulate collagen and elastin production.
This dual action effectively tightens and lifts the skin, reducing wrinkles and improving overall skin tone and texture. Fractora is suitable for various skin types and can be used on the face, neck, and other areas.
Eric’s Experience with Fractora
While I always aim to be transparent about our treatments, I must admit that Fractora might not be the most comfortable experience. Eric felt some snaps against his skin and appreciated the numbing and painkillers provided.
Despite the discomfort, Eric is thrilled with the results and has already requested a second session. Initially, he only hoped for a small improvement, but the results exceeded his expectations:
“The physical difference is clear—everything’s lifted and tighter. I feel young again and look young again! This has renewed my energy and motivated me to prioritize my well-being. I’m exercising more, eating better, and taking supplements to maintain this youthful look.”
Eric’s experience highlights how challenging it can be when your external appearance doesn’t reflect how you feel inside. If you’re struggling with sagging or lax skin, Fractora might be the solution you need.
Below Are Some Common Questions We Receive From Clients:
What makes Fractora different from other aesthetic procedures?
Fractora offers a non-surgical alternative to traditional plastic surgery, such as a neck lift or nose job. It combines microneedling and radiofrequency energy to provide significant lifting and tightening effects without the downtime associated with more invasive surgeries performed by plastic surgeons/a board certified plastic surgeon.
How long does it take to see results from Fractora?
Most patients start noticing improvements within a few weeks after the procedure, with the best results visible after about two weeks. The body continues to produce collagen over time, enhancing the skin’s appearance.
Is Fractora suitable for everyone?
Fractora is effective for both men and women experiencing signs of aging. It’s important to consult with an aesthetic doctor to determine if Fractora is right for you.
How does Fractora compare to other treatments like a nose job or neck lift?
While Fractora provides excellent results for skin tightening, it doesn’t replace surgical procedures like a nose job or neck lift. It’s ideal for those looking for a non-invasive option with minimal downtime.
What should I expect during the recovery period?
The recovery from Fractora is relatively quick compared to traditional plastic surgery. There might be some redness and swelling post op, but most people can return to their daily activities within a couple of days.
What should I consider when choosing a treatment like Fractora?
When considering Fractora, think about the idea of achieving a more youthful look without invasive surgery. It’s important to discuss your goals with a qualified person, such as a board certified aesthetic doctor, who can guide you through the course of treatment options.
How has Fractora impacted patients’ lives beyond physical appearance?
Many patients report that Fractora not only improves their physical appearance but also boosts their confidence. This newfound confidence often leads to positive changes in other areas of life, such as social interactions with friends and spouses. Feeling good about oneself can be a turning point for many.
