Section 9: Fractora Treatment
Information
56 of 96
Stop anticoagulants 7-10 days prior to treatment, if medically permitted.
Clean the treatment area.
Apply anesthesia:
–
Many patients can tolerate the treatment with no anesthesia at low
energy levels of 5-20 energy levels and sometimes more.
–
Topical for 30-45 min – limited to energy as tolerated by the patient
and may reach 40-62 energy levels, depending on the percent
numbing ingredients and patient sensitivity.
–
A few patients require nerve block for higher energy, limited to central
face.
–
Tumescent or IV sedation is applied usually when Fractora follows an
invasive procedure.
The patient should shave the area to be treated. Long and dense hairs
prevent electrode contact with the skin’s surface

The Fractora tip is single use only.
2.2
Test Spots
A small test spot should be performed in a non-conspicuous area of the treatment
site, prior to the first complete session. Test spot is performed to establish the
following requirements:
Confirm the patient's suitability for treatment:
–
For skin type I – III wait 10-15 minutes before assessing the skin
response.
–
For skin types IV-V wait 2-3 days if energy level <30 is used and 7-10
days for energy level >30, due to delayed response of dark skin.
