Try to retrieve your own memories of Christmas. They might involve a tree, a special church service, gifts, food and perhaps, the memory of a special item that made its way out of a box each year. For Grayson’s Writer-in-Residence, Joey Hancock, Christmas stories are as much a part of the fabric of a Christmas memory as his mother’s embroidered poinsettia tablecloth. In fact, it was that embroidered tablecloth that led him to describe the stories he tells as “embroidered truths.”

We have seen treatments that tighten skin. We have seen treatments that smooth lines and wrinkles. We have never seen anything like Fractora! Fractora is a treatment that takes the amazing results of Collagen Induction Therapy (or micro-needling) and boosts it to a whole new level.
