Fractora in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Francisco
Fractora (also known as FraxRF at WAVE) our newest targeted bipolar radiofrequency energy delivery system that targets the dermis to treat fine wrinkles, acne scars, and small contour defects. Along with the increase in collagen production comes a more natural but at the same time noticeable improvement in your overall look. FraxRF provides a non-ablative way to resurface without the same downtime, discomfort, redness, and weeping associated with traditional CO2 lasers. The radiofrequency can be delivered in different depths to provide a customized treatment for your skin type and condition.
