What is TRL Facial Laser Resurfacing?

TRL (Tunable Resurfacing Laser) uses beams of light to remove damage skin one layer at a time. The laser removes the outermost layer of the skin, called the epidermis, while heating the underlying skin, stimulating collagen production in essential facial tissues, resulting in firmer, smoother skin. Facial laser resurfacing can treat an array of cosmetic flaws, including fine lines or wrinkles, scars, sun-damage, liver spots, birthmarks, and large pores.

The TRL’s unique ability to be tuned for different tissue effects gives it the widest array of possible treatments. TRL technology provides the ability to plane down wrinkles externally while internally stimulating the dermal collagen matrix to firm the skin and add dermal resilience. Primary treatments include:

Am I a good candidate for Facial Laser Resurfacing?

Ideal candidates for facial laser resurfacing are healthy individuals who are dissatisfied with the appearance of their facial skin. Those who have active acne, very dark skin, excessive sagging skin, or deep wrinkles may not be the best candidates for this treatment. Individuals with darker skin tones may risk the occurrence of hyperpigmentation during healing. A consultation with Robin will help to determine if you can benefit from this procedure.

What is the recovery time?

Following a facial laser resurfacing treatment, patients may experience redness and swelling, similar to a sunburn. Once the treated areas have healed, makeup may be used to cover any redness. Patients should avoid the sun, as the skin will be sensitive to the sun’s rays. In most cases, recovery time takes about one to two weeks.

What will be my results from Facial Laser Resurfacing?

Following your facial laser resurfacing treatment, you should continue to see a difference in your skin for up to a year. Facial laser resurfacing is an excellent option for patients who wish to achieve a younger, healthier looking complexion.
