How Does TRL Work?

A Tunable Resurfacing Laser (TRL) is a fractional laser that delivers laser energy in a fractionated pattern. This offers high precision and control during treatment, so only the desired areas of the skin are targeted, minimizing the risk of damage to surrounding tissues.

One of the critical features of TRL is its tunable depth settings. This allows us to customize the treatment depth based on the patient's specific skin concerns and desired outcomes. Deeper settings can target more severe skin issues like deep wrinkles or acne scars, while shallower settings are used for overall skin rejuvenation.

The skin absorbs the laser energy, creating controlled micro-injuries in the targeted areas. This process triggers the body's natural healing response, shedding damaged skin cells and the growth of new, healthier skin. This results in smoother, clearer, and more youthful-looking skin over time.

Am I a Good Candidate for TRL?

You may be a good candidate for Contour TRL (Tunable Resurfacing Laser) if:
You have specific skin concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, uneven skin tone, or rough texture that you want to improve
You are in good overall health and do not have any medical conditions that could interfere with the healing process
Your skin type is suitable for laser treatments, and you do not have any active skin infections, sunburn, or other irritations in the treatment area
You’re a non-smoker
You have attended a consultation at AG to assess your skin type, concerns, medical history, and lifestyle factors

What to Expect During the TRL Procedure

Before the actual treatment, your skin is cleansed and prepared. Depending on the specific protocol, a topical numbing cream or local anesthesia may be applied to ensure your comfort during the procedure.

Your AG practitioner adjusts the laser settings based on your skin type, concerns, and desired treatment depth. The TRL laser is then applied to the treatment area in a controlled manner, emitting fractional laser beams that penetrate the skin's surface. They will then position the laser over your skin, using a computer-guided scanner to move the laser beam to the designated treatment area. The duration of the procedure typically ranges from 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.

Doing so creates micro-injuries known as microscopic thermal zones (MTZs), stimulating collagen production and triggering a natural healing response. As the damaged skin cells shed and new skin cells regenerate, you'll notice skin texture, tone, and overall appearance improvements.

Recovery and Results

After a TRL treatment, patients may experience mild redness and swelling, similar to the sensation of a sunburn. Here’s our advice for a smooth recovery that produces spectacular results:

Redness may last for 8-12 days, depending on the depth of the peel
Peeling and flaking usually occur within 24 hours after treatment and should naturally shed off
During the healing phase, it is essential not to pick, rub, or forcibly remove any skin, as this may lead to scarring or infection
Washing the skin gently and more frequently can help promote the peeling process
We’ll recommend a gentle cleanser and occlusive barrier to protect and soothe the treated area until the skin has naturally exfoliated
Direct sun exposure should be avoided for two months post-treatment
Once the skin has fully healed and you are no longer using the occlusive barrier, you may begin to wear makeup
If you choose to wear makeup, applying sunblock daily is essential to prevent hyperpigmentation triggered by direct or indirect sunlight
Consistent use of sunblock is recommended for up to 3 months after the procedure

After one week following the treatment, you will observe significant enhancements in your skin's texture and tone and a reduction in the appearance of wrinkles. Deeper laser treatments can stimulate new collagen growth over 4-6 months. Throughout this time, you may notice improvements in skin tightness and resilience.
