Controlled resurfacing, guided by the skin’s response.
Contour TRL is a full-field ablative laser. Where a fractional laser treats the skin in scattered points, this resurfaces the whole treated area in controlled, layered passes, taking off the weathered outer layers to a precise depth, chosen by your provider and guided by how the skin answers.
As the skin heals over the following one to two weeks, it does so from a clean, even base, bringing fresh, smoother, more even skin to the surface and prompting new collagen beneath. Because it treats the whole surface, the result is the most significant we can achieve, and the recovery the most involved. It is powerful precisely because it is thorough.
The consultation
Before anything is decided, your provider assesses your skin with real care: its tone, its depth of damage, and whether a full resurfacing is the honest answer or more than your concern requires. Because this is our most significant treatment, candidacy and recovery are discussed fully and frankly before anything is scheduled.
The session
The skin is cleansed and thoroughly numbed for comfort. Your provider then resurfaces the area in controlled, layered passes, watching the skin and its endpoint as it reaches the chosen depth. Immediately after, Ariessence PDGF is applied to the new skin, to support the repair and the collagen forming as it renews. This is one of our more involved resurfacing treatments, and you will rest and recover at home afterward.
The weeks that follow
The recovery here is real. Expect raw, red, weeping skin in the first days, then crusting and peeling over one to two weeks. Keep the skin meticulously clean and moist, follow the aftercare closely, and plan to stay in and out of view for the first week. The fresh skin beneath may stay pink for months and sensitive to light for weeks, so sun protection is essential. The reward is the most significant correction we can offer.
