Instead of visible light wavelengths, Fractora uses radiofrequency energy. When we direct that energy down through the layers of your skin, it heats up the cells and prompts your body to release collagen in the area, plumping up the insides so the surface of your skin is pulled taut and firm.
We typically use Fractora on your face and neck, but it can work on other body parts as well. Our team takes the time to get to know you and discuss your aesthetic goals. We also learn about your current health and health history to make sure we have a complete picture of your unique needs. That alone may answer the question about which treatment to choose.

Non-Surgical Non-surgical techniques can be either minimally-invasive or non-invasive. Skin Tightening Treatments for the Face Our clinic specializes in several types of treatments for tightening skin on the face and neck. These treatments include: Facelift A facelift is a type of surgery that reduces the appearance of wrinkles and tightens sagging skin in the mid-face area.

Like ultrasound treatments, RF treatments are effective for smoothing and tightening skin in older patients as well as postponing the need for a surgical lift in younger patients. A third class of skin tightening treatments combines intense pulsed light IPL with radiofrequency RF to heat deeper layers of skin and induce the natural healing response, which in turn triggers collagen production.
The addition of IPL allows a provider to treat a large amount of skin and skin conditions, while the RF energy can be hyper-focused to treat deep layers of skin.

One of the starkest differences between laser treatment and Pelleve is the lack of restrictions following Pelleve treatment. For example, there are no restrictions regarding when you can go outside. After more aggressive treatments, you are advised against going outside between 10 AM and 2 PM when the sun is strongest. You are also free to apply makeup immediately after treatment.
