Fractora by Invasix

Fractora (Fractional Rejuvenation & Skin Resurfacing) is the most advanced fractional radio-frequency treatment, providing anti-aging improvements on skin tone and texture for a more radiant appearance through ablation and skin resurfacing.

the appropriate area of the skin via an array of pins, resulting in localized heat and microscopic micro-lesion spots. The gentle heat generated by the Fractora pins to the sub-dermal tissue promotes collagen restructuring for skin rejuvenation and an improved appearance in the skin. The methodical scattering of micro-lesions allows the skin to heal faster than if the entire area was ablated.

Fractora can as well be used in areas that exhibit fine or deep wrinkles, scars or discolored red and brown skin tone. The most common areas that get treated are lower eyelids, upper eyelids, smile lines, cheeks and to areas of the mouth and neck. RF energy gently heats the skin layers in a controlled scheme that transform deep collagen and improve the appearance of the skin.

Benefits

Fractora delivers improvements in the broadest range of symptoms of aging Skin Resurfacing including fine lines, deep lines, texture, pigment irregularities, blood vessels and redness.
Fractora offers improvements for aging skin that might normally require two, three or even four different technologies.
Ablation of the skin promotes skin resurfacing while untreated skin between the pins promotes faster healing of the treatment tissue.
Versatility of parameters allows the user to vary the depth of ablation, coagulation and heating.

Fractora Tips

Small

For small sporadic lesions (eg acne scars, fine vessels)
Tip size 2x10mm
Large

For full face (eg fine lines, textures or small body areas)
Tip size 6x10mm
Pin spot size 150
Up to 2.5PPS (2.5 Hz)

Indications

Wrinkles
Depressed scars (like acne scars)
Epidermal melanin pigmentation
Superficial facial spider telangiectasis and skin texture

Contraindications

Skin Resurfacing type V and VI patient
Excessively tanned skin from sun, tanning beds and tanning creams within the last 2 weeks
Pacemaker, internal defibrillator, or other implanted electronic device
Avoid treatment if intra-dermal or superficial sub-dermal areas have been injected with Botox/Ha/collagen/fat injections or other augmentation methods with bio-material, until the products have been dissipated (up to 6 months), except Botox after binding to the facial muscles (3-7 days). It is possible to treat sooner over injectable products placed in the deep, periosteal plane, as soon as the area has healed (1-3 weeks)
Current history of skin cancer or pre- malignant moles
Pregnancy
History of Skin Resurfacing disorders, keloids, abnormal wound healing, as well as very dry and fragile skin
History of bleeding coagulopathies
Sever concurrent conditions, such as cardiac disorders
Impaired immune system due to immunosuppressive diseases such as Aids and HIV, or use of immunosuppressive medications
Use of Isotretinoin (Accutane) within 6 months prior to treatment
Use of anticoagulants within 10 days

Possible Adverse Effects

Pain or discomfort, excessive skin redness (erythema) and/or swelling (edema), damage to the skin’s natural texture (crust, blister, burn), changes in pigmentation (hyper- and hypo-pigmentation), and scarring are only a few examples of potential side effects.
A common Skin Resurfacing reaction to the Fractora treatment is erythema that goes away in less than 24 hours and edema that lasts for one to three weeks.
Red spots from the fractionally ablated tissue and crusting will appear 1-3 days post treatment and are typical and desirable effect. They will exfoliate naturally after a 1-3 weeks.
Ocassionally, at energy levels >30-40 mJ/pin, there is a potential low level stimulation of branches of the facial nerve and there will be some involuntary contraction of the underlying facial muscle. This is transient and is not harmful, as the Fractora effect diminishes at the deeper level where parts of the facial nerve lie above the muscles.
The patient must understand the importance of pre-treatment Skin Resurfacing and post-treatment instructions and that failure to comply with these instructions may increase the probability of complications.
