Treating Excessive Scarring Without Unnecessary Intensity

Some acne scarring and textural concerns run deeper than lighter treatments can reach, requiring a more assertive approach to create real change. Our team at LRMD is proud to offer Fractora treatments to patients whose scarring and enlarged pores have not responded fully to gentler skincare technologies.

What Is Fractora?

Fractora’s advanced device delivers fractional radiofrequency (RF) energy directly into your skin via fine pins, reaching deeper tissue layers that surface-level lasers can’t touch. This more intensive energy delivery is designed for concerns that require a stronger clinical response, helping remodel scarring and refine the appearance of pores. Patients often come to us for Fractora treatments because it offers the following benefits:

Meaningful improvement in moderate to severe acne scarring
Visible reduction in enlarged pore size
Deeper collagen remodeling than lighter RF treatments
Effective results for scarring that resisted previous treatments

What to Expect From Your Fractora Treatments in Beverly Hills and Pasadena

Adjusting Pin Depth to Your Scarring

Fractora's needles can be adjusted to reach different depths based on the severity of your scarring, allowing your aesthetician to treat deeper, more established scarring differently from milder textural concerns. Everything is done in a single session to streamline your treatment and recovery.

Targeted RF Delivery

Fractora is generally reserved for more significant concerns than lighter RF treatments, and common treatment goals include the following:

Moderate to severe acne scarring
Significantly enlarged pores
Deep textural irregularities
Scarring that did not respond to previous treatments

During your private, one-on-one consultation, your aesthetician will assess your skin’s texture, tone, and quality to determine whether Fractora is right for you. Your treatment plan will reflect the depth and severity of scarring present in your skin.

Your Day-Of Experience

Your aesthetician will apply a topical numbing agent well before your session begins, allowing adequate time for it to take effect and prevent pain from Fractora's more intensive energy delivery. Once your skin is ready, they’ll administer your treatment, moving the device section by section across your face. Sessions typically last 30-45 minutes, depending on the number of zones treated.

Planning Your Treatment Series

Most patients complete a series of three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart, allowing adequate time for healing and collagen remodeling between treatments. At the end of your series, Dr. Rogers and your aesthetician will assess your skin to determine if more sessions are needed to achieve your desired results.

Patient-First Recovery

Recovery after Fractora treatments in Beverly Hills and Pasadena requires more planning than gentler skincare options. Most patients experience noticeable redness, swelling, and small scabbing at pin sites for three to five days following treatment. Some patients also notice mild bruising in treated areas, but this is uncommon.

Most of our patients in Beverly Hills and Pasadena plan for a few days of reduced social activity while visible healing resolves, typically returning to their normal appearance within a week. You’ll need to avoid direct, prolonged sun exposure for at least 48 hours to allow your skin to settle and begin healing.

Your Post-Treatment Process

After your first Fractora session, our team will walk you through a detailed aftercare plan, given the treatment's more involved recovery process. This plan may include the following:

Wound care instructions for pin sites
Sun avoidance and protection requirements
Skincare ingredients to avoid until fully healed
Hygiene recommendations
Swelling and bruising management strategies
Side effects to monitor
Timeline for safely resuming makeup and skincare

You’ll return to either our Beverly Hills or Pasadena practice several times over the coming weeks for follow-up appointments with our team. There, your aesthetician will evaluate your healing and scarring improvement before planning your next session.

Meaningful Change for Established Scarring

Because Fractora reaches deeper into the facial tissue than lighter treatments, results often address scarring that previously seemed resistant to improvement. Most patients notice a smoother texture and reduced pore size within two to three months, with continued refinement as collagen remodeling completes.

Fractora Frequently Asked Questions

How is Fractora different from standard microneedling?

Fractora combines radiofrequency energy with microneedling technology, allowing it to deliver heat deeper into the skin than traditional microneedling alone. This deeper collagen stimulation makes Fractora especially effective for improving more established acne scars and skin texture.

Is Fractora more painful than other RF treatments?

Fractora delivers higher levels of radiofrequency energy than many gentler treatments, so patients may notice a stronger sensation during the procedure. A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand to help keep you comfortable throughout treatment.

Will I need to take time off work after Fractora?

Many patients experience several days of visible redness and small scabs following Fractora treatment. For this reason, many choose to schedule their procedure before a weekend or during a lighter workweek to allow time for healing.

Is Fractora safe for all skin tones?

Fractora is generally considered safe for a wide range of skin tones because it uses radiofrequency energy rather than relying solely on light-based technology. During your consultation, your aesthetician will evaluate your skin type and determine whether Fractora is appropriate for you.

How do I know if I need Fractora instead of a gentler treatment?

If your acne scars are moderate to severe or have not responded well to less intensive treatments, your aesthetician may recommend Fractora as a more effective option. During your consultation, they will evaluate your skin and develop a treatment plan based on your specific concerns and goals.
