NANOFRACTIONAL
An award winning, breakthrough treatment offering great results with no-surgery, little to no downtime, and no pain.
In the last decade, there has been progressive innovation in non-surgical treatments to improve skin tone, quality, texture and rejuvenate the skin’s appearance. There is always a balancing act between effectiveness, downtime, and patient discomfort.
Generally, the more downtime, the more effective the treatment but also, the more downtime, the more discomfort. NanoFractional technology bridges a gap between these three aspects of aesthetic treatments offering little to no downtime, no pain, and a great result.
Our General Manager, Chris, recently had a treatment and was thrilled with the experience. “Being in aesthetics for the last 15 years I have seen and had many different treatments. I was amazed that the NanoFractional RF was completely comfortable and produced a great response in my skin. My skin was a little red after the treatment, but I resumed normal activities immediately and my skin felt tighter and smoother the next morning. I’ve not seen this combination of no downtime, no discomfort, and an immediate tightening of the skin in any other treatment.”
NanoFractional RF uses tiny needles, less than 1mm, to deliver multi polar radio frequency energy and Pulsed Electro Magnetic Fields to produce uniform heating in the skin’s surface. This heating stimulates the skin to produce collagen and elastin fibers, resulting in smoother, firmer skin that looks noticeably more youthful.
The treatment is really a combination of microneedling and radio frequency skin rejuvenation. Combining technologies has proven to create a more effective treatment and as such we have added not only NanoFractional RF to our portfolio but also are combining this with IPL treatment to address not only skin texture and tightness but also reduce pigmentation and redness in the skin. We call this our Tone and Texture NanoFractional or TNT NanoFractional.
“Our ability to improve skin quality, tone, and texture is continually improving with innovative new treatments. NanoFractional RF technology represents an outstanding improvement in what we are able to accomplish without discomfort and little to no downtime.” FAC Founder, Dr. Richard Gangnes
3 Ways to Restore Your Youthful Appearance
3 Treatments to Shed Years Off Your Skin
NanoFractional-RF (NFRF)
NanoFractional is a non-surgical procedure designed to smooth and tighten the skin with no downtime. The procedure delivers radiofrequency energy using microneedles to heat and stimulate the skin. The procedure is very comfortable and targets superficial fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating the skin to rebuild collagen and elastin. NanoFractional is very effective at improving skin texture and firmness.
Dynamic Variable Depth RF (DVDRF)
DVDRF is similar to NanoFractional, as it uses microneedling with to deliver radiofrequency energy to the skin. Where the two technologies are different are in the depth of the skin that is targeted and the energy that can be delivered. DVDRF uses variable treatment depth and energy to customize treatment parameters to each individual patient. Because we are able to treat the skin at greater depths we can also treat body areas with DVDRF.
SIMILARITIES
Both NanoFractional and DVDRF…
– Involve microneedling to deliver RF
– Stimulate collagen and elastin production
– Improve skin texture – pore size, fine lines, acne scaring
– PRP can be topically applied with either procedure
DIFFERENCES
– NFRF is a set depth of 0.5mm, while DVD ranges in depths between 0.5mm-3.0mm.
– NFRF requires no downtime.
– NFRF is performed in a series, DVDRF is typically a single treatment
– DVDRF can be used on the body
Fillers
Restylane and Defyne
Restylane is a hyaluronic acid formulated gel similar to that of your bodies natural hyaluronic acid production to add volume and fullness to your skin in order to correct moderate to severe wrinkles, specifically targeting the nasolabial folds and marionette lines typically referred to as smile or parenthesis lines that form around your mouth.

Radiesse® vs Restylane®: What is the Difference?
There are so many cosmetic products on the market today that, quite frankly, it’s easy for a person to get overwhelmed. And what makes the situation more challenging is the fact that there are multiple products that to do virtually the exact same thing. So the question is, how do you distinguish one product from another?
For example, what is the difference between Radiesse® vs Restylane®? Both of these products are dermal fillers, yet each of them is designed to work in a specific area.
Many cosmetic professionals will only use Radiesse® when they are addressing nasolabial folds. When compared to Juvederm® or Restylane®, Radiesse® has been shown to last longer. The downside is that because of the way it is formulated, it needs to be injected deeper into the treated area to produce the desired effects.
Some cosmetic professionals prefer Restylane® because it is a hyaluronic acid filler. Although the gel is made in a laboratory, it is made of a substance that is found naturally in the human skin. The results are softer and more natural.
Something that cosmetic experts and many patients also like about using Restylane® is that its results are reversible. A medical professional can give you an injection, and if you want to change anything about the way your face looks after the injection, the expert can reverse the treatment in a matter of minutes.
Really, you can make a lot of comparisons between the pros and cons of Radiesse® vs Restylane®. However, at the end of the day, it’s up to the cosmetic professional and you as a patient to determine which dermal filler you feel is right for you.
Something that you will see consistently when you talk to cosmetic professionals is that they all agree that both Restylane® and Radiesse® are high-quality products. They have seen positive results in their patients by using these products.
One thing that is more important than the dermal filler that you use is the training and the skill of the cosmetic professional who applies it. In the hands of an untrained surgeon, even the best dermal filler can produce poor results.
