What to Expect
During Treatment
Before the procedure, a topical numbing cream is applied to ensure comfort. The Fractora device uses microneedles combined with radiofrequency energy to create controlled micro-lesions, delivering heat deep into the skin layers. This process stimulates collagen remodeling & targets specific skin concerns. The treatment typically lasts about 2 hours, depending on the area being treated.
Recovery Phase
Post-treatment, you may experience redness for up to 48 hours & dryness for approximately one week. These effects are temporary & indicate the skin’s natural healing process. Most patients can resume normal activities shortly after the procedure, with proper skincare & sun protection advised during the recovery period.
For Optimal Results
For best outcomes, a series of 3-5 Fractora RF Microneedling treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart is recommended. Initial improvements may be noticed after 2-3 sessions, with optimal results typically observed at 12 weeks post-treatment. Maintaining a medical-grade skincare routine & protecting the skin from sun exposure will enhance & prolong the results.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Fractora RF Microneedling work?
Fractora RF Microneedling combines two powerful skin rejuvenation technologies—microneedling & radiofrequency (RF) energy—to deliver superior results. The device uses a grid of ultrafine needles that penetrate the skin & simultaneously deliver RF energy deep into the dermis. These controlled micro-injuries stimulate the natural healing process while the RF energy heats the skin tissue, boosting collagen & elastin production. The result is firmer, smoother, & more evenly toned skin with reduced signs of aging, acne, & scarring.
Is Fractora RF Microneedling safe for all skin types?
Yes, Fractora is considered safe for a wide range of skin types & tones. Its technology allows for precise control over depth & intensity, making it a safe option even for patients with darker skin who may not be candidates for some laser treatments. By delivering energy below the skin’s surface, Fractora minimizes the risk of hyperpigmentation or surface damage, which can occur with more aggressive resurfacing treatments.
What areas can be treated with Fractora RF Microneedling?
Fractora is incredibly versatile & can be used on various parts of the face & body. Common treatment areas include the:
- Face (especially cheeks, jawline, & under the eyes)
- Neck
- Décolletage
- Shoulders & back (especially for acne or acne scarring)
- Arms & abdomen (for skin laxity or stretch marks)
Whether you’re targeting active acne, scarring, wrinkles, or uneven skin tone, Fractora can be customized to treat your specific concerns.
How many treatments will I need?
Most clients see noticeable improvement after a few sessions, but a series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart is typically recommended for optimal results. The number of sessions may vary depending on your goals, skin type, & the severity of your concerns. During your consultation at Lucere, a tailored treatment plan will be created to suit your unique needs.
When will I see results?
You may begin to see improvements in your skin’s texture & tone as early as 2 to 3 weeks after your first session, with continued improvement over the next several months. The most dramatic results are typically visible at 12 weeks post-treatment, as your skin continues to rebuild collagen & elastin. Results will vary based on the condition of your skin & how consistently you follow your treatment plan & post-care instructions.
Is the procedure painful?
Fractora treatments are generally well-tolerated. A topical numbing cream is applied before the session to minimize discomfort. During treatment, you may feel a warm or prickling sensation as the RF energy is delivered, but most patients describe the experience as mildly uncomfortable rather than painful. Afterward, your skin may feel tight or warm for a few hours—similar to a mild sunburn.

Your provider will give you detailed aftercare instructions to support a smooth recovery.
Can Fractora RF Microneedling be combined with other treatments?
Yes, absolutely. Fractora works exceptionally well when combined with other skin-rejuvenating treatments.

How should I care for my skin after treatment?
After your Fractora session, stick to a gentle skincare routine. Avoid makeup for at least 24 hours & steer clear of harsh products such as exfoliants, retinoids, or acids for several days. Keep the skin moisturized & use a high-quality, broad-spectrum sunscreen daily. This is crucial to protect your healing skin & prevent post-inflammatory pigmentation. Your Lucere provider will give you personalized product recommendations to support healing & maintain results.
How is Fractora RF Microneedling different from traditional microneedling?
Traditional microneedling & Fractora RF Microneedling both use fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, which stimulate the body’s natural healing response & promote collagen production. However, Fractora offers a more advanced & results-driven approach by adding radiofrequency (RF) energy into the treatment.
With traditional microneedling, the effects are limited to the surface level of the skin (the epidermis), making it ideal for improving minor texture issues, fine lines, & early signs of aging. While it does promote collagen production, results are typically more subtle & require multiple sessions to achieve noticeable improvement.
Fractora RF Microneedling, on the other hand, delivers radiofrequency energy deep into the dermis through the microneedles, heating the tissue below the skin’s surface. This combination of mechanical injury & thermal energy not only accelerates collagen & elastin production but also tightens the skin, improves acne scars, & reduces deeper wrinkles & laxity—results that traditional microneedling can’t match.
In short, if you’re looking for more powerful skin tightening, deeper rejuvenation, or advanced correction for acne scarring & aging, Fractora RF Microneedling offers more dramatic & longer-lasting results than traditional microneedling.
