What is Fractora (Facial Treatment)? | before and after
Fractora is a fractional radiofrequency treatment that targets wrinkles, acne scars, and skin laxity with minimal downtime — here is what patients in Markham and Toronto should know before booking.
Key Takeaways
- Fractora uses fractional radiofrequency energy delivered through fine needles to remodel collagen deep in the dermis without removing the entire skin surface.
- Most patients experience only mild redness for up to 24 hours after a standard session, though more aggressive settings may require 5-7 days of social downtime.
- A typical Fractora appointment at ID Cosmetic Clinic in Markham takes about one hour, including 15 minutes of topical numbing and roughly 30 minutes of active treatment.
- Ideal candidates range from adults aged 30-60 addressing visible aging to younger patients managing active acne, acne scarring, or uneven skin texture.
- Fractora pricing starts at $2,999 and varies based on skin type and treatment area size, so a personal consultation with Dr. Dan Xu is the most accurate way to receive a quote.
Direct Answer
Fractora is a non-invasive fractional radiofrequency (RF) skin treatment that delivers controlled thermal energy through fine insulated needles into the dermis, stimulating collagen remodeling and improving the appearance of wrinkles, skin laxity, acne scars, and pigmentation irregularities. The device uses 24 silicone-coated needles whose uncoated tips release RF energy at a precise depth, creating microscopic injury zones that heal with new collagen and elastin while leaving surrounding tissue intact — a process known as fractional resurfacing. Patients in Markham and the greater Toronto area seeking this treatment can consult with Dr. Dan Xu, MD, CCFP, at ID Cosmetic Clinic, where Fractora sessions are tailored to individual skin type, concern severity, and treatment area. At ID Cosmetic Clinic, pricing for Fractora starts at $2,999, and a typical appointment including numbing cream preparation takes approximately one hour. Because the treatment stimulates the skin's own repair mechanisms, results continue to develop over weeks as fresh collagen production progresses, making Fractora a well-regarded option for patients who want meaningful skin improvement without surgical recovery.

How Long Does it Take to Recover From Fractora?

Mild redness and inflammation are usually apparent but will normally subside within 24 hours. More aggressive Fractora settings may require 5-7 days off for recovery. (fractora before and after)
How Long Does Fractora Take?
Fractora is a treatment that does not take long to perform. The numbing cream preparation will take up to 15 minutes and the treatment itself will last around 30 minutes, depending on the coverage area to be treated. Patients should expect a single Fractora treatment to take 1 hour of their time. (fractora before and after)
What is Fractora?
Nobody wants to face the signs of aging. Whether it’s the crow’s feet around the eyes, wrinkles on the neck or smile lines by the lips, it’s impossible to go through life without the passing years being on full display.
Thankfully there’s no longer a reason for you to live with an aged appearance that goes against your youthful spirit.
Introducing Fractora™, a non-invasive skin treatment that uses fractional radiofrequency technology to minimize even the deepest aging damage and restores your youthful, beautiful skin. The most commonly treated areas are the eyelids, smile lines, forehead, cheeks, mouth, and neck. The Fractora handpiece sends 24 silicone needles into the depths of the skin (dermis). The tip of each Fractora needle is uncoated and releases radiofrequency (RF) energy deep into the dermis. This thermal RF injury is fractional (leaves some skin uninjured) and causes a break down of surrounding tissue which heals with new collagen and elastic from undamaged adjacent skin.
Who is a Fractora Candidate?
The ideal candidate for Fractora is a man or woman in good health. The person will fall into one of two categories: those aged 30-60 who want to improve visible signs of aging and younger patients who have active acne, acne scarring or skin irregularities. (fractora before and after)
