Be Acne-free this School Year with Fractora Acne Laser Treatments

It’s the start of the school year and it’s time for a fresh start. The summer is over and there has never been a better time to start laser treatments to address bothersome acne and the scars it leaves behind. The Fractora laser is a great way to keep new acne from forming while helping old spots to fade.

What is the Fractora Laser?

The Fractora laser is a fractional laser skin treatment that resurfaces and rejuvenates the skin, helping with a number of skin concerns by encouraging your skin’s own healing process. For treating acne in particular, the Fractora laser heats the deeper layers of skin, killing acne causing bacteria and kick start the skin’s healing and collagen production process. The Fractora laser is able to achieve CO2 laser-like results without the associated downtime and potential drawbacks.

How Does Fractora Help with Acne?

The Fractora applicator is unique in that it is covered with several “pins” that help in the delivery of the fractional energy deep into the skin. Depending on the severity of your condition, Dr. Rocheford and her skin care specialists may recommend anywhere from 1-6 treatments. This radio frequency treatment is gentle and can be safely used on all skin tones and ethnicities. Fractora helps stop new acne from forming and heals old scars in the following ways:

• Shuts down oil glands that are overproducing acne-causing sebum
• Heats the deep layers of skin to kill bacteria
• Stimulates collagen production to heal old scars
