Deep Resurfacing for Dramatic Skin Renewal

TRL Contour is a fully ablative laser treatment that resurfaces the skin at a deeper level, addressing more significant signs of aging and sun damage in a single session. At Nashville Cosmetic Surgery, our Skin Lounge team reserves TRL Contour for patients seeking more dramatic improvement than fractional or lighter laser treatments typically provide. Interested in a deeper approach to skin renewal? Schedule a consultation with our Skin Lounge team.

What Is TRL Contour?

TRL Contour, or Total Renewal Laser, is a fully ablative resurfacing treatment that removes the skin's outer layers in a single, comprehensive pass. Unlike fractional lasers that treat skin in a scattered pattern, TRL Contour resurfaces the entire treatment area, making it one of the more powerful options available for significant sun damage, deep wrinkles, and textural irregularities. Because of its intensity, TRL Contour typically requires more recovery time than other laser treatments, but often delivers more dramatic results in return.

Are You a Good Candidate for TRL Contour?

You may be a good candidate for TRL Contour in Nashville if you have significant sun damage, deep wrinkles, or pronounced textural concerns that haven't improved with milder laser treatments, and you're able to accommodate a longer recovery period. TRL Contour is often considered by patients seeking one comprehensive treatment rather than a series of milder sessions.

Good candidates are in good general health with realistic expectations about the more involved recovery process this treatment requires. During your consultation, our team will evaluate your skin thoroughly to confirm TRL Contour is the right fit for your specific concerns.

TRL Contour Versus Other Laser Treatments

Because we offer several laser options, it's worth understanding how TRL Contour compares.

  • Lighter treatments, like BBL HERO, address pigment and redness with no downtime, but don't provide the deep resurfacing TRL Contour offers.
  • Fractional treatments, like Halo or ProFractional, treat skin in a scattered pattern, allowing faster healing than a fully ablative approach.
  • TRL Contour resurfaces the entire treatment area for more comprehensive, dramatic results, at the cost of a longer recovery period.

What to Expect During Your TRL Contour Treatment

TRL Contour treatments are performed in-office, with the length of the session depending on the treatment area and depth. Topical numbing, and in some cases additional comfort measures, are used to help manage sensation during the procedure, given its more intensive nature. Our team will walk you through exactly what to expect during treatment, along with a detailed recovery plan, during your consultation.

Recovery and Results Following TRL Contour

Recovery from TRL Contour is more involved than lighter laser treatments, typically requiring seven to ten days of visible healing, including redness and peeling, before returning to normal activities and makeup use. Diligent aftercare during this period is important for optimal healing. Results continue to improve over the following weeks and months as new skin fully matures. Our team provides detailed aftercare instructions and checks in with you closely throughout your recovery, given the more significant nature of this treatment.
