SUMMARY
Dr. Judith Hellman, a New York dermatologist, reports her clinical experience using Fractora RF microneedling (InMode) as a superior alternative to pulsed dye laser for acne and acne scarring. Unlike traditional approaches, Fractora provides dual benefits of microneedling injury and thermal stimulation, leading to collagen remodeling and significant scar reduction. Studies and biopsies demonstrated up to 80% improvement in acne scars months after treatment, with additional benefits in neck tightening, hyperhidrosis, stretch marks, and chest rejuvenation. The technology’s coated tips allow safe use on all skin types, including Fitzpatrick VI, without pigmentation risks.
