▪ 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
anesthetic can be applied as needed prior to treatment.
– 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.
▪ Cooling methods, such as air cooling, sterile ice-packs, or sterile latex gloves filled
with ice, help patient comfort during and after treatment.
The patient should shave the area to be treated. Long and dense hairs
prevent electrode contact with the skin’s surface.
9.6 Tip Cleaning Instructions Prior to Use
▪ Clean the tip with 70% alcohol absorbed pad for at least 30sec.
▪ Leave it for complete drying.
▪ Before each use of the Fractora Handpiece and tip, they must be checked for
integrity and proper cleaning and drying.
The Fractora tip is single use only!
9.7 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 types I – III wait 10-15 minutes before assessing the skin
response.
– For skin types V-VI wait 2-3 days if energy level <30 is used and 7-10
days if energy level >30 is used.
