Contour TRL

Reveal Younger, Smoother Skin with Contour TRL

Contour TRL (Tunable Resurfacing Laser) is one of the most advanced laser skin resurfacing treatments available, offering patients significant improvements in skin tone, texture, and elasticity. At Howarth Plastic Surgery in Scottsdale, AZ, we use the Sciton Contour TRL laser to address a wide range of skin concerns, from fine lines and wrinkles to deep scars and sun damage. Whether you’re looking for a subtle refresh or more dramatic results, Contour TRL can be customized to meet your unique aesthetic goals.

What Is Contour TRL?

Contour TRL is a highly customizable skin resurfacing treatment that uses a laser to remove layers of damaged skin, revealing the healthy, youthful skin underneath. By precisely targeting the skin’s outer layers, Contour TRL helps to stimulate collagen production, resulting in smoother and more youthful skin over time. The depth and intensity of the treatment can be adjusted to address mild to severe skin concerns, making it a versatile option for many patients.

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Deep wrinkles and creases around the mouth and eyes
  • Acne scars and surgical scars
  • Sun damage and pigmentation issues
  • Uneven skin tone and texture
  • Age spots and hyperpigmentation

How Does Contour TRL Work?

The Contour TRL laser works by removing thin layers of skin with precision, stimulating the body’s natural healing process to generate new, healthy skin cells. The laser can be fine-tuned to remove deeper layers of skin for more significant skin issues, such as deep wrinkles or scars, or used on more superficial layers for a lighter resurfacing. This versatility makes it a popular option for patients with various skin concerns and goals.

During the treatment, the laser delivers controlled energy into the skin, which encourages collagen remodeling and helps to smooth wrinkles, improve skin texture, and reduce the appearance of scars. The intensity of the treatment can be adjusted based on the depth of the skin concern, and a topical anesthetic is used to ensure patient comfort throughout the procedure.

What to Expect During Your Contour TRL Treatment

Before your Contour TRL treatment, a comprehensive consultation will be held at our Scottsdale office to assess your skin concerns and goals. During the treatment itself, a topical anesthetic will be applied to the skin to minimize discomfort. Depending on the depth of your treatment, the procedure can take between 30 minutes to an hour.

After the procedure, you may experience redness, swelling, and peeling as your skin heals. The intensity of these side effects depends on the depth of the treatment. For lighter treatments, recovery time can be as short as 3-5 days. For more intensive resurfacing, a longer recovery period of up to two weeks may be necessary. During this time, it’s important to follow the aftercare instructions provided by our team to protect your skin and optimize your results.

What Are the Benefits of Contour TRL?

Contour TRL offers several benefits for patients seeking to improve the appearance of their skin, including:

  • Customizable treatment – The depth and intensity of Contour TRL can be adjusted to meet your unique skin concerns.
  • Improved skin tone and texture – Stimulates collagen production for long-lasting improvements in skin quality.
  • Treats a wide range of concerns – Effective for everything from fine lines to deep wrinkles, scars, and pigmentation issues.
  • Long-lasting results – Results continue to improve over time as new collagen forms, providing smoother, healthier skin.
  • Minimal downtime – Lighter treatments have quick recovery periods, allowing you to return to normal activities in a few days.

Recovery and Aftercare

After your Contour TRL treatment, your skin will go through a natural healing process that includes redness, swelling, and peeling. The downtime will depend on the depth of the treatment. Our team will provide you with a detailed aftercare plan, which includes avoiding direct sun exposure and using high-quality skincare products to support the healing process. You’ll see the most dramatic results as your skin continues to heal over the coming weeks.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

The number of treatments you’ll need depends on your individual skin concerns and goals. Some patients see significant improvement after just one session, while others may benefit from a series of treatments to achieve optimal results. During your consultation, we’ll recommend the best treatment plan for you, ensuring that you receive the maximum benefit from your Contour TRL laser treatment.

Contour TRL vs. Other Laser Treatments

At Howarth Plastic Surgery, we offer a variety of laser treatments to meet the needs of our patients. Contour TRL stands out because it provides highly customizable and deeper resurfacing options compared to other lasers like HALO or ProFractional Therapy. While these treatments are excellent for lighter resurfacing and minimal downtime, Contour TRL is ideal for patients with more severe skin concerns such as deep wrinkles, scars, and significant sun damage. By treating the deeper layers of the skin, Contour TRL offers dramatic, long-lasting improvements in skin quality.
