What causes skin imperfections?
Several factors can lead to wrinkles and saggy skin, but one of the most common is the natural aging process.
After the age of 20, your body begins producing less collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) -- elements that keep your skin supple, firm, and hydrated. As a result, your skin begins to get thinner, dryer, saggy, and more fragile.
In addition to the physical changes, external factors like the sun and environment take a toll on your skin. This damage to delicate skin cells leads to an uneven tone, discoloration, and deep wrinkles.
At Women Wise Health, Dr. Esiely offers Fractora RF anti-aging treatments to improve the health of your skin and create a more radiant appearance.
What is Fractora RF skin rejuvenation?
Fractora RF is a cosmetic treatment that uses heat to tighten and resurface skin in addition to triggering the production of collagen in the area. This increase in collagen improves your skin tone, texture, and quality.
This modern laser therapy delivers radiofrequency energy to the skin through a variety of micro pins to apply localized heat and microlesion dots in the treatment area. This gentle heat penetrates subdermal skin tissue to promote rejuvenation and healing.
Dr. Esiely uses Fractora RF to treat several skin imperfections associated with aging, such as:
- Redness
- Visible blood vessels
- Fine or deep lines
- Saggy or loose skin
- Pigment irregularities
Fractora RF is safe to use on your entire body, including your face, jowls, neck, chest or cleavage. This unique procedure provides anti-aging skin benefits that typically require multiple technologies.
What can I expect during my Fractora RF treatment?
The length of your Fractora treatment depends on the size of your treatment area but typically takes between 20-60 minutes. Depending on your sensitivity, Dr. Esiely might offer several mild pain relievers before your treatment, such as:
- A topical anesthetic
- Oral pain medications
- Local anesthetics like nerve blocks
Following your treatment, you might notice a slight redness for up to one week, but otherwise, there’s no downtime associated with the procedure.
You can expect to see the benefits from your Fractora RF treatment immediately, but the best results appear within a few weeks as new collagen rejuvenates in the area. Depending on your desired goals, Dr. Esiely might recommend between one to six treatments.
