Understanding how your skin ages is like piecing together a puzzle. It’s a variety of factors that come from within, like your genes and how old you are, and elements from the world around you, like spending time in the sun, pollution, and the choices you make in your everyday life.
Over time, your skin’s natural processes of collagen and elastin production slow down as early as the mid-20s. The rate of this decline accelerates with age after the age of 30. By the time you reach your 40s and 50s, collagen and elastin production decreases significantly. The breakdown of this collagen and elastin fiber production creates visible signs of aging such as wrinkles, sagging, loss of elasticity, fine lines, pigmentation irregularities, and uneven texture that you see in the mirror.
In this skincare blog, we are going to take you on a deep dive into a staff-favorite skin resurfacing treatment at the Plastic Surgery Group of Memphis– the Sciton Contour TRL. This laser powerhouse can counteract the decrease in collagen and elastin production by stimulating cellular turnover, regenerate collagen synthesis, and remove damaged outer layers of the skin so you see a radiant, youthful complexion looking back at you.
What is Skin Resurfacing in Aesthetic Medicine?
Skin resurfacing in aesthetic medicine and at PSG Skincare & Laser Center refers to a range of treatments aimed at improving skin texture, tone, and overall appearance by removing damaged outer layers and stimulating collagen production. Laser skin resurfacing can be performed on various areas of the body, including the face, neck, chest, and hands. Laser resurfacing at PSG Skincare & Laser Center involves Sciton lasers that target skin concerns such as wrinkles, scars, sun damage, and uneven pigmentation.
There are two main types of laser skin resurfacing:
- Ablative laser resurfacing: This type of treatment removes thin layers of skin using high-energy laser beams. It’s effective for treating moderate to severe skin issues but typically requires a longer recovery time compared to non-ablative methods.
- Non-ablative laser resurfacing: This approach targets the deeper layers of skin without damaging the outer layer. It’s less invasive than ablative resurfacing and often involves shorter downtime, but it may require multiple sessions to achieve desired results.
The Sciton Contour TRL (Tunable Resurfacing Laser) is an example of a Sciton ablative laser resurfacing treatment used in aesthetic medicine.
How Does Sciton Contour TRL Work?
Contour TRL’s ultramodern technology, developed by the industry titans at Sciton, uses the power of precision to target and rejuvenate your skin, layer by layer. Unlike other lasers in the Sciton family with fixed parameters, the Sciton Contour TRL allows the experienced board-certified physician assistants at PSG Skincare & Laser Center to tailor the treatment precisely to your unique skin needs.
Sciton’s Contour TRL delivers precise pulses of laser energy to the skin, creating microscopic channels known as microthermal zones (MTZs) within the epidermis and dermis. As the skin heals, old, damaged cells are replaced with fresh, rejuvenated tissue, resulting in smoother texture, improved tone, and reduced appearance of wrinkles, scars, and other imperfections.
Contour TRL’s tunability is made possible by the laser’s ability to adjust both the depth and density of skin resurfacing. By triggering these controlled injuries to the skin, this resurfacing procedure prompts the body’s natural healing response.
This ability to customize the level of ablation gives PSG providers the power to target deeper wrinkles, acne scars, and other complex skin issues. Not only does Contour TRL’s skin resurfacing technology help address existing imperfections, but it also plays a crucial role in long-term skin health by promoting cellular turnover, increasing skin thickness, and enhancing skin elasticity. When you regularly incorporate skin resurfacing lasers into your skincare routine, you can easily support a youthful, radiant complexion while minimizing the effects of aging and environmental damage.
Setting the Sciton Contour TRL Apart
Whether you’re unhappy with the appearance of fine lines, deep wrinkles, years of sun damage, acne scars from old breakouts, or stubborn uneven skin tone, the Sciton Contour TRL is a pathway to confidence for you. By stimulating collagen production and promoting skin renewal, this procedure helps restore a youthful glow and smooth out imperfections, leaving you with radiant, rejuvenated skin.
While Sciton’s BBL (BroadBand Light) and Halo excel in addressing a broad spectrum of skin issues, unlike the BBL and Halo lasers, Contour TRL primarily focuses on resurfacing the skin’s surface through controlled ablation, making it particularly effective for addressing deep wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven texture.
By precisely adjusting the laser’s depth and density, your board-certified physician assistant at PSG Skincare & Laser Center can tailor treatments to your specific concerns, resulting in dramatic improvements in skin texture, tone, and firmness.
