Several treatments are available to promote collagen production and rejuvenate the skin. The difference between these two procedures is that one uses a fine needle to puncture the outside layers of skin while the other uses a vacuum-like tool to draw blood and push deeper into the tissues. In this blog post, we'll compare how each treatment affects your skin and overall health to help you figure out which one is right for you.

What is Fractora?
It is a non-surgical, non-ablative treatment that uses radiofrequency on the cells of your skin to stimulate collagen production and healthy circulation. Radiofrequency devices use high-frequency electrical currents to improve skin texture and firmness by heating the skin's underlying structure.

Pros of Fractora:
1. Fast. It only takes about 30 minutes, depending on the size of the area.
2. Safe. It uses radiofrequency to stimulate collagen production and tighten the tissue. There is no risk of burning skin, muscles, and hair cells. Fractora is also safe for different types of skin, which makes this procedure tolerant for all people.
3. Comfortable. Fractora achieves smooth skin, refines wrinkles, minimizes the appearance of dark spots, and still has no painful downtime, and doesn't require invasive recovery procedures.

Cons of Fractora:
It only works well with thin skin. It does not work well for deeper wrinkles that originate in subcutaneous tissue.

What is Microneedling?
It is a treatment that utilizes little needles to puncture the outer skin layers. This creates microscopic channels in the dermis that promote blood flow to the surrounding tissues and help stimulate collagen production.

Pros of Microneedling:
1. Fast. As Fractora, it also takes about 30 minutes, depending on the area.
2. Safe. It uses microscopic needles to promote collagen production and tighten the tissue simultaneously. It's a minimally invasive procedure, so no infection will occur.
3. May reduce scars. As soon as microneedling works with deeper skin layers and the process includes the formation of new cells, it may help you get rid of scars. Even if you can't completely get rid of scars, you may significantly improve their appearance.

Cons of Microneedling:
Painful. You will feel as if you are being pinched with tiny needles, but it is still totally manageable.

What Should You Choose - Fractora or Microneedling?
Overall, I would say that Fractora is a better choice for patients with thin skin and more superficial wrinkles. On the other hand, microneedling will deliver superior results for people with thicker skin or deeper wrinkles.

1. The main difference is that with a Microneedling treatment, you can speed up the natural process of skin rejuvenation by stimulating collagen production and increasing cell turnover.

2. Fractora treatment results in quick and noticeable improvements. It also collects very specific data about the performance of each device to ensure that you get the best possible results. Microneedling therapy requires a lot of patience and time to achieve the desired results.

In conclusion, if you want something that gives you a quick, non-invasive procedure but still produces results, Fractora is the way to go. If you feel the need for a deeper procedure that will produce better results, then microneedling is the choice for you.
