Moein Surgical Arts is educating patients about Fractora, an advanced fractional radiofrequency microneedling technology designed to improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, address acne scars, and support overall skin rejuvenation.
As the skin ages, collagen and elastin production gradually decline. This can lead to fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, uneven texture, acne scarring, sun damage, and mild skin laxity. Fractora offers a minimally invasive treatment option for patients who want visible skin improvement without undergoing traditional surgical facial rejuvenation.
Led by Dr. Babak Moein, Moein Surgical Arts provides Fractora skin resurfacing and rejuvenation consultations for patients in Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Encino, Glendale, and surrounding Southern California communities.
What is Fractora?
Fractora is a fractional radiofrequency microneedling treatment that combines controlled microneedling with radiofrequency energy. The device uses small pins or microneedles to deliver RF energy into targeted layers of the skin.
This controlled energy creates micro-injuries and thermal stimulation within the skin. In response, the body activates its natural healing process, supporting collagen remodeling, elastin production, and gradual improvement in skin quality.
Fractora is commonly used for patients who want smoother, firmer, and more even-looking skin without a traditional surgical procedure.
How Fractora works
During treatment, a topical numbing cream is typically applied to improve comfort. Once the treatment area is prepared, the Fractora handpiece is placed against the skin. The device then delivers radiofrequency energy through small pins into the skin.
The treatment works by stimulating a controlled healing response. As the skin repairs itself, new collagen and elastin may form. Over time, this can improve skin texture, firmness, tone, and the appearance of common cosmetic concerns.
Unlike some older resurfacing technologies, Fractora treats only a fraction of the skin at a time. This fractional approach allows untreated surrounding tissue to support faster healing.
Fractora for wrinkles and fine lines
Fine lines and wrinkles are among the most common reasons patients seek Fractora treatment. Aging, sun exposure, facial movement, and collagen loss can all contribute to visible lines around the eyes, forehead, cheeks, mouth, and neck.
Fractora may help improve the appearance of fine lines and deeper wrinkles by stimulating collagen remodeling beneath the skin surface. With a customized treatment plan, patients may notice smoother skin and a refreshed appearance over time.
Fractora for acne scars and texture irregularities
Acne scarring can create uneven texture, depressions, and visible skin irregularities. Fractora may be helpful for patients with acne scars because the microneedling and RF energy combination can support remodeling of the deeper skin layers.
By encouraging the skin to repair and rebuild collagen, Fractora may gradually soften the appearance of acne scars and improve overall skin texture.
Fractora for enlarged pores
Large pores can make the skin appear rough, oily, or uneven. Fractora may help improve the appearance of enlarged pores by promoting collagen support around the treated areas.
As the skin becomes firmer and more refined, pores may appear smaller and the complexion may look smoother.
Fractora for sun damage and pigmentation concerns
Sun exposure can contribute to brown spots, uneven tone, rough texture, and premature aging. Fractora may be used as part of a broader skin rejuvenation strategy to improve the appearance of sun-damaged skin.
Patients with discoloration, uneven tone, or rough texture should be evaluated carefully to determine whether Fractora is appropriate or whether another skin treatment may be more suitable.
Fractora for mild skin laxity
Mild skin laxity can occur as collagen and elastin decline with age. Patients may notice early looseness around the cheeks, jawline, neck, or other areas of the body.
Fractora may help improve mild skin laxity by stimulating tissue remodeling and collagen production. However, patients with significant excess skin may require a surgical procedure such as a facelift, neck lift, eyelid surgery, arm lift, or other skin-removal procedure.
A consultation is essential to determine whether Fractora alone is appropriate or whether it should be combined with another treatment.
Common treatment areas
Fractora is most commonly used on the face and neck, but it may be considered for other areas depending on the patient’s skin quality and goals.
Common treatment areas include:
-
Forehead
-
Cheeks
-
Around the mouth
-
Jawline
-
Neck
-
Eyelids, when clinically appropriate
-
Acne-scarred areas
-
Areas with uneven texture
-
Selected body areas with superficial skin irregularities
Because RF microneedling is a medical procedure, treatment should be performed by a qualified and properly trained provider.
What patients can expect after treatment
After Fractora treatment, patients may experience redness, warmth, swelling, tenderness, or a sunburn-like sensation. Mild peeling, dryness, or temporary roughness may also occur as the skin heals.
Downtime varies depending on treatment intensity, skin type, treatment area, and the patient’s individual healing response. Some patients return to normal activity quickly, while others may need a few days of recovery.
Patients are usually advised to follow a gentle skincare routine, avoid excessive sun exposure, and use sun protection while the skin heals.
How many Fractora treatments are needed?
The number of Fractora sessions depends on the patient’s goals, skin condition, treatment intensity, and response to therapy. Some patients may benefit from a single treatment, while others may require a series of sessions for more noticeable improvement.
Many patients receive multiple treatments spaced several weeks apart. During consultation, Dr. Moein and the clinical team can recommend a treatment schedule based on the patient’s skin concerns and desired outcome.
When results appear
Fractora results are typically gradual. Some early improvement may be visible after the skin heals, but collagen remodeling takes time. Many patients notice continued improvement over several weeks to months.
Because the treatment depends on the body’s natural healing and collagen response, results vary from patient to patient.
Fractora vs. Morpheus8
Fractora and Morpheus8 are both fractional radiofrequency microneedling technologies. Both are designed to deliver RF energy through small pins or microneedles to stimulate tissue remodeling.
The best choice depends on the patient’s anatomy, skin thickness, treatment goals, laxity level, scar pattern, and provider recommendation. A personalized consultation is the safest way to determine which technology is most appropriate.
Safety and patient selection
Fractora can be effective for properly selected patients, but it is not appropriate for everyone. Patients with certain skin conditions, active infection, poor wound healing, history of abnormal scarring, pregnancy, uncontrolled medical conditions, or unrealistic expectations may not be good candidates.
Possible side effects may include redness, swelling, bruising, discomfort, burns, pigment changes, scarring, fat loss, infection, delayed healing, or unsatisfactory cosmetic outcome.
Moein Surgical Arts emphasizes careful patient selection, appropriate device settings, informed consent, and treatment by qualified professionals.
Who may be a good candidate for Fractora?
A good candidate for Fractora may be someone with:
-
Fine lines or wrinkles
-
Acne scars
-
Enlarged pores
-
Uneven skin texture
-
Mild skin laxity
-
Sun-related skin changes
-
Early signs of facial aging
-
Desire for a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation option
Patients seeking dramatic lifting or removal of significant loose skin may be better served by surgical procedures. Dr. Moein evaluates each patient individually to recommend the most appropriate treatment plan.
