Contour TRL

Contour TRL is one of the most premier skin rejuvenation technologies in the world. This state-of-the-art treatment is designed to address sun damage, deep wrinkles, uneven skin texture, and scars. Highly customizable, this skin resurfacing procedure creates powerful results while promoting healthier skin at its most basic level with enhanced collagen production.

What is Contour TRL?

Contour TRL (tunable resurface laser) is an erbium skin resurfacing laser that can precisely remove damaged skin cells. It’s extremely customizable, allowing for a range of depths from a surface peel to a truly rejuvenating deep peel, depending on your unique skin concerns.

How Does Contour TRL Work?

Contour TRL can resurface the skin, removing dead and damaged skin cells up to a precise, predetermined depth. Dr. Arko Demianczuk can assess your skin’s condition and goals and work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan, including what results you can expect and the associated downtime. Because Contour TRL is so precise, it can remove the exact amount of skin needed, reducing the possibility of too much or too little removal. After treatment, the new skin cells will create a firmer, smoother, and more evenly toned appearance. The process of collagen stimulation continues to result in younger-looking skin for long-lasting improvement.

Dr. Demianczuk often combines Contour TRL with Sciton’s other best-in-class technologies, such as BBL Hero™ and ProFractional™. This allows you to laterally address multiple skin concerns for even more remarkable results.

Before and Afters

Benefits of Contour TRL

  • Smoother Skin Texture: Rough, uneven skin (including actinic keratoses) is smoothed and softened.
  • Long-Lasting Results: Continual improvement is seen in the skin’s health as collagen production increases.
  • Personalized Treatments: Adjustable depth allows for extremely personalized results.
  • Effective Wrinkle Reduction: Treats deep lines and creases that normally necessitate surgery or are difficult to address with surgery alone.
  • Pigmentation and Scarring Treatment: Reduces sunspots, discoloration, and scars.

What to Expect During Treatment

  1. Consultation: Dr. Demianczuk will thoroughly examine your skin and create a customized treatment plan.
  2. Preparation: We apply a topical anesthetic to your skin to ensure you remain comfortable throughout the treatment.
  3. Treatment: Dr. Demianczuk programs the computerized scanner, which will guide the laser handpiece across the skin with precision, removing damaged and dead skin cells in layers. This process can take 15-30 minutes.
  4. Aftercare: Dr. Demianczuk will review your detailed aftercare instructions, ensuring you know how to take care of your skin with our best physician-grade skincare products, moisturizers, and sunscreens.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Contour TRL suitable for all skin types?

Contour TRL is most effective for lighter skin tones. Your provider will evaluate your skin to determine if it’s the right treatment for you.

How many treatments will I need?

Many patients achieve noticeable results after one session. Deeper concerns may require additional treatments for optimal results.

Does the treatment hurt?

The comfort level of laser resurfacing treatments varies from patient to patient and depends largely on the depth of treatment. For shallow treatments, the procedure is well tolerated with the use of a topical anesthetic. For deeper treatments, your physician may administer a nerve block or local anesthetic.

How long does the treatment take?

Treatment time varies based on the size of the treated area and the depth of the procedure, typically lasting 30-60 minutes.

What should I expect immediately after treatment?

Following the treatment, you may experience redness, a sensation similar to sunburn, and possible swelling in the treated areas. Your physician will provide personalized aftercare instructions, which may include the use of analgesics and a moisturizing ointment to promote skin healing.

What should I expect for recovery?

Redness may persist for 8-12 days, depending on the depth of the treatment. Peeling and flaking typically occur within 24 hours following treatment and should naturally shed off.rnrnDo not pick, rub, or forcibly remove any skin during the healing phase, as this may lead to scarring or infection.rnGently washing the skin more frequently will help to promote the peeling process.rnYour physician will recommend a gentle cleanser and occlusive barrier to protect and soothe the treated area.rnIt’s advisable to use these products until the skin has naturally exfoliated.rnAvoid direct sun exposure for two months post-treatment. Adhere to all post-care guidelines provided by your physician for optimal results.rnOnce the skin has fully healed and you’re no longer using the occlusive barrier, you may begin to wear makeup. This may take 2-7 days depending on the depth of your treatment.rnIf you choose to wear makeup, applying sunblock daily is essential. This helps prevent hyperpigmentation triggered by direct or indirect sunlight.rnConsistent use of sunblock is advised for up to 3 months after the procedure.

When will I see results?

Depending on your treatment, the top layer of your skin will regenerate and can typically be covered with makeup within 2 days to 1 week. At this stage, you will notice visible improvements in your skin’s texture, tone, and the appearance of wrinkles. Deeper laser treatments also promote new collagen production over the next 4 to 6 months, leading to continued enhancements in skin tightness and resilience.

Are the results permanent?

While results are long-lasting, the skin will continue to age naturally. Maintenance treatments can help sustain your youthful appearance.

Can I wear makeup after treatment?

Makeup can be applied once your skin has healed, usually within 2-7 days for deeper treatments.

Is Contour TRL safe?

Yes, when performed by a trained professional. The treatment is precise and customizable, minimizing risks and maximizing results.
