What is trl laser?
The Contour Tunable Resurfacing Laser (TRL) is a dual mode Erbium:YAG resurfacing laser that can help with visible signs of skin damage caused by the sun, environmental toxins and the natural aging process.
Plastic Surgery Specialists has introduced SpaPPS to serve the increasing number of our patients who are looking for a non-surgical treatment to combat the signs of aging. Conveniently located in central Marin, our relaxing medical spa offers an incredible array of cutting-edge non-invasive devices and technologies to keep our patients looking and feeling their best.
Skin health and radiance is an integral part of beauty. Even surgery cannot always restore the youthful look of facial and neck area skin unless the skin is resurfaced to match the newly tightened skin. Laser resurfacing can heal acne scars, treat pigmentation and make wrinkles disappear. The Contour TRL is especially effective for wrinkles around the mouth and eyelids, both telling signs of aging that are hard to treat.
The Contour Tunable Resurfacing Laser by Sciton is a safe, effective way to transform damaged, aged skin into a smooth, even-toned and textured complexion. This laser is unique in its ability to externally plane down wrinkles while internally stimulating collagen, a building block of skin structure that diminishes with age and causes wrinkles and laxity. The Contour TRL is supremely tunable to effectively target the areas that need deep, or more superficial treatment.
The Contour Tunable Resurfacing Laser by Sciton is an Erbium Yag skin resurfacing laser. A Contour TRL treatment will erase aged, pigmented, or damaged skin and promote youthful skin renewal. The Contour TRL system safely and effectively controls ablation and coagulation independently, enabling our skin specialists to apply laser energy to the depth where it’s most appropriate for the specific skin issue. Your treatment is highly targeted and can be completed in 30 to 60 minutes.
The skin will renew itself over the weeks following a Contour TRL treatment. Due to the fact that the Contour Tunable Resurfacing Laser penetrates to the deeper layers of the dermis, patients are advised to give themselves at least a week off for recovery. Post-procedure redness may last up to 10 to 14 days. Within one to two treatments, you will see a major improvement in the look and tone of your skin.
The benefits of Contour TRL are two-fold. It improves both the external skin appearance and the healthy function of the skin itself.
Collagen is a vital building block of firm, youthful skin, but as the body ages, it produces less collagen. The heat from Contour Tunable Resurfacing Laser will stimulate collagen production deep within the dermis and will jumpstart your skin’s collagen production helping to replenish lost skin volume. With more collagen within the skin, you will see an even greater reduction in fine lines and wrinkles. Your skin will become significantly smoother, firmer, and more resilient after deep skin resurfacing with Contour TRL.
Unlike CO2 laser treatments, the Contour TRL system enables us to control the depth of the laser with micron precision. The treatment achieves a level of ablation that can address long-standing skin problems in only one or two sessions. The TRL is an Erbium laser, which studies have shown to produce far fewer side effects (such as the prolonged erythema and hypopigmentation) that are common with CO2 lasers.
Contour TRL is highly targeted and adjustable to guarantee uniform results that can be customized where appropriate. Contour TRL is also the system we use to perform shallow NanoPeel or MicroLaser Peel resurfacing with lower micron settings.
Men and women of all ages have accomplished total skin renewal, thanks to the Contour Tunable Resurfacing Laser.
Why have so many people turned to deep skin resurfacing? Contour TRL is a highly recommended skin care solution because it:
Contour TRL is most commonly performed on the face, but can easily be applied to the body to improve the appearance of stretch marks and scarring and is safe for all skin types.
This treatment is an excellent option for patients who have skin irregularities they would like to address, including scars and acne marks. If you have fine lines and wrinkles or pigmentation that mar your appearance, you are likely an excellent candidate for deep skin resurfacing with Contour TRL.
In order to see the best results from a deep skin resurfacing treatment, candidates may want to take time off from work to recover fully and comfortably.
Candidates will be asked to discontinue use of fish oil and blood-thinning medications, including aspirin, for two weeks before their deep skin resurfacing treatment. Those who smoke will also be asked to discontinue smoking for two weeks before and after their session.
Our skincare specialist will be happy to answer any questions you have about skin resurfacing during your private consultation. In order to help you find the right resurfacing treatment for you, we will examine your skin, as well as discuss your health history and current medication use with you. Once we have a good sense of the goals you would like to achieve, we will recommend a customized deep skin resurfacing treatment.
Candidates who do not require deeper skin ablation to accomplish their results may be better suited for NanoPeel or MicroLaserPeel with Contour TRL. If you have questions about resurfacing with ProFractional or Broad Band Light, we will be happy to discuss these options during your consultation as well.
You will receive protective eyewear and a topical or local anesthetic to keep you comfortable during your deep resurfacing treatment. Contour TRL allows our skin specialist to target your skin irregularities with micron precision.
Your skincare specialist will dial in your treatment according to your desired results and downtime preferences.
The depth and micron strength will be highly controlled. The Contour TRL system is designed to achieve a consistent result, except for the areas where special attention is needed. Your skin will receive laser energy ranging from 200 to 330 microns for deep, full-field resurfacing. The treatment is highly targeted and will do no harm to surrounding tissues.
Due to the deep ablation Contour TRL achieves, you will want to take between 7 to 12 days off work. This will give your skin adequate time to heal and build up a protective layer.
You will receive a topical ointment and personalized instructions for how to properly care for your skin following your resurfacing session. You may receive an antibiotic to help protect your body during recovery from a deep treatment.
Your skin will likely be red and feel warm as if you had a sunburn. Your skin will flake for the first few days of your recovery. This is normal. Do not pull at or try to exfoliate your skin. You may also experience bleeding in areas of your skin, but this is not a cause for alarm.
A cold compress can be applied to reduce any swelling or discomfort. Your skin will begin to renew and balance itself within a few days.
Strenuous exercise should be avoided for two weeks following Contour TRL. Practice safe sun protection and limit sun exposure for two months after deep skin resurfacing.

Contour TRL (tunable resurfacing laser) is an Erbium YAG skin resurfacing laser. It is used to address a broad range of skin concerns. The treatments can be tailored to each patient’s needs, with results ranging from the subtle to the dramatic. At Renaissance Plastic Surgery, our aesthetic providers can customize a Contour laser treatment to a depth anywhere from 4-10 microns for a superficial peel with subtle results and a shorter downtime, a medium peel for moderate signs of aging, or full-field laser skin resurfacing for men and women with deep wrinkles near the mouth and eyes and other severe signs of aging.
The independent coagulation and ablation controls in the Contour platform allow our providers to fine-tune the treatment to each patient’s needs and aesthetic goals. Contour TRL is widely regarded as a market leader in laser treatments for the aging face.
The system generates a powerful beam of laser energy that targets the top layer of skin, which can be sun-damaged, dry, or uneven with wrinkles and other blemishes. The laser is powered by erbium which is highly absorbed in water. This fact is what allows the Contour the precision of depth since the skin is mostly water. The laser also works deeper inside the skin to stimulate new collagen formation. Collagen is an essential skin protein that gives the skin its youthful softness, smoothness, and tightness. By speeding up cell turnover and building more collagen, the Contour TRL laser treatment gives you a revitalized appearance with younger-looking skin.
Contour TRL is effective in all skin types and skin tones. Men and women with signs of aging and sun damage can benefit from Contour laser treatments. If you are bothered by lines and creases around the mouth and eyes, large pores, acne scars, pigmentation, uneven skin tone and texture, age spots, and other skin blemishes, then a Contour TRL laser peel could be right for you. The laser is mainly used on the face and neck but can also be applied to other parts of the body with aging skin.
You will be seen in an initial consultation to determine if you are a good candidate for Contour TRL laser treatment. Our aesthetic providers will examine your skin and obtain a complete medical history. You may need to discontinue certain medications before your laser appointment because they can increase the risk of bruising and bleeding. Also, it is recommended that if you are a smoker, you refrain from smoking for 2 weeks before and after your Contour treatment to prevent healing complications.
The Contour laser treatment itself is pretty straightforward. The procedure takes 15-30 minutes to complete. You will be given protection for your eyes, and the laser device will be applied to your skin. A computer scanner carefully maps the laser beam as it moves across the treatment area.
It is common to have some swelling, redness, and discomfort after Contour TRL. Patients typically describe this as a sunburn sensation where the skin feels raw. There can also be some warmth, tightness, or oozing for a few days. Over-the-counter pain medicine can help with any discomfort.
Downtime and recovery period after Contour TRL laser will depend on the depth of treatment. You should plan to take one week off from work to give your skin time to heal. The recovery period is around 3-5 days after shallow Contour treatments and around 2 weeks after deeper treatments, with some lingering redness.
There will be a noticeable improvement in your skin 2 weeks after your Contour appointment. Your skin will appear softer, smoother, plumper, and more youthful at this time. As time goes on and more collagen is made in the skin after your Contour laser therapy, you will notice continued improvement in fine lines, wrinkles, and scars. The final results of your Contour TRL procedure will be visible after 3-4 months. You can make your Contour results last longer by practicing good sun protection with SPF 30 or higher sunscreen. We will give you further skincare instructions after your laser peel, but there is no special aftercare required.
The Contour Tunable Resurfacing Laser (TRL) is a customizable skin resurfacing treatment. Just one session can lead to a noticeable improvement in your skin. What’s more, the skin continues to improve over the following 4-6 months as more collagen is formed.
In general, the results are more dramatic the deeper the Contour treatment. Your provider will work with you to find a balance between treatment depth and results versus downtime and recovery period. Your individual treatment plan may include one or more Contour TRL treatments with or without other cosmetic procedures for the best results.
The Halo laser is a hybrid fractional laser that can treat many skin conditions such as sun damage, fine lines, pigment, rough texture, and large pores.
