As we age, the effects of sun damage and environmental pollutants take their toll on our skin, creating wrinkles and pigment irregularities, especially on our faces. A Laser Peel can reduce or eliminate these conditions, and can also minimize the pesky lines around the mouth and eyes. Though there are several different types of lasers used to perform peels, Sciton® Contour TRL is widely regarded as the safest, most effective laser available.
Contour TRL safely removes a layer of skin to a depth determined by your physician. The depth of treatment will depend on the skin condition, your desired outcome and the kind of recovery time best for your schedule. Because Contour TRL can affect tissue with micron precision, your physician can treat your skin with the exact amount of energy needed – no more, no less. Treating skin with a laser stimulates the growth of new collagen, which improves the skin’s thickness and resilience. After the procedure, facial tissue produces fresh, healthy cells, which will give your skin a younger, rejuvenated appearance.
Your DermaTouch specialist will cleanse the treatment area and place safety shields over your eyes. The physician will position the laser hand piece above the skin and will hold it in place as the computer-guided scanner moves the laser beam around the treatment area. Depending on the size of the area being treated, the procedure usually lasts 15 to 30 minutes.
Complete healing will depend largely on the depth of treatment. Healing times for shallow treatments are typically three to four days before patients resume normal activities. For deeper treatments, you should discuss realistic expectations for recovery with your physician.
The top layer of your skin will heal in about one week, at which time you will see noticeable improvements in your skin’s texture, tone and wrinkle appearance. Deeper laser treatments also stimulate the growth of new collagen over the next four to six months. During this time, the skin will show increasing improvements in tightness and resilience.
