Introducing Contour TRL: Your Path to Skin Renewal

Contour TRL, or Tunable Resurfacing Laser, is a cutting-edge deep laser resurfacing procedure designed to tackle even the most stubborn skin concerns. This advanced technology allows us to precisely target deep facial lines, sun damage, wrinkles, acne scars, uneven skin tone and textural irregularities, revealing smoother, more youthful-looking skin. By gently removing damaged layers and stimulating collagen production, this innovative procedure helps you treat various skin concerns. 


What Does Laser Skin Resurfacing Treat?

Laser skin resurfacing is primarily designed to treat the face and neck, but in some cases, it can also be used on the chest and hands. Contour TRL addresses surface imperfections and penetrates into the root cause of your skin concerns. By gently removing damaged layers and stimulating collagen production, this innovative procedure helps you improve:

  • Deep wrinkles and fine lines: Laser skin resurfacing can smooth out even stubborn wrinkles around the eyes and mouth.
  • Sun damage: It can reduce sunspots, age spots, and uneven pigmentation caused by sun exposure.
  • Acne scars: The Sciton laser can help improve acne scars and other textural irregularities.
  • Poor skin texture: It can refine rough or uneven skin texture to give you a smoother and more youthful appearance.

Benefits of Contour TRL Laser Skin Resurfacing

Contour TRL laser skin resurfacing offers transformative skin rejuvenation for all skin tones. Its unique tunability allows for precise customization, targeting various depths and concerns with exceptional accuracy, minimizing the risk of complications, especially in darker skin tones. Unlike traditional ablative lasers, Contour TRL combines ablation and coagulation to promote optimal healing and reduce downtime. Experience a dramatic improvement in deep wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, and uneven texture, revealing smoother, more youthful skin with lasting results. At The Heights Plastic Med Spa, our team loves Contour TRL for its unparalleled precision, safety, and efficacy, regardless of your skin type.

Are You a Good Candidate for Laser Resurfacing?

Laser skin resurfacing is generally suitable for people of all skin tones, offering a chance to rejuvenate and revitalize your skin. If laser resurfacing isn’t the right fit for you, we offer other effective options like chemical peels, microneedling, or dermal fillers to address your skin concerns. We’ll work closely with you to find the ideal laser treatment for your unique needs and goals.


What To Expect During Your Laser Skin Resurfacing Treatment

Before your laser skin resurfacing session, you’ll need to protect your skin by avoiding sun exposure and diligently wearing sunscreen. We might also prescribe medication to minimize any swelling and ensure your comfort.

During the procedure, we’ll gently cleanse the treatment area and apply a topical anesthetic, along with local injections, to numb the area and ensure a comfortable experience. The laser will then precisely target the chosen skin layers, stimulating collagen production for improved skin elasticity and firmness as it removes imperfections.


Your Laser Skin Resurfacing Recovery

Post-treatment, continue to shield your skin from the sun with sunscreen and follow any prescribed medication regimen. Lighter treatments typically involve minimal downtime, while deeper treatments may require a longer recovery period. Rest assured, we’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure you achieve optimal results.


Revealing Remarkable Results

Laser resurfacing improves the appearance of wrinkles, sun damage, and acne scars, dramatically leaving you with a smoother, more youthful complexion. The longevity of your results depends on factors like the specific handpiece used, the treatment depth, and your individual skin characteristics.
