When you choose Contour TRL laser resurfacing in Portland, our team will guide you through every step, from how the laser rejuvenates the skin by removing damaged outer layers to what you can expect during treatment and recovery. Our aesthetic professionals and Dr. Aric Aghayan tailor each session to your skin’s specific needs, adjusting the depth and intensity to achieve safe, effective, and natural-looking results.
Portland patients who choose Contour TRL benefit from a tunable ablative Erbium:YAG laser system, which gives your surgeon precise control over resurfacing depth and coagulation settings. Unlike standard fractional lasers that treat micro-zones, this system allows full-field resurfacing, ranging from shallow microlaser peel settings to deep resurfacing.
The laser energy removes damaged outer and inner skin layers, while also heating the tissue underneath to stimulate new collagen growth and reshape your skin. This combined action—ablation and regeneration—creates a smoother texture, more even tone, and reduces deep wrinkles, sun damage, and scarring.
Contour TRL laser resurfacing, performed at our Portland office, targets both surface and deeper skin layers to address a variety of concerns, without requiring surgery. It is fully tailored to your individual skin quality and concerns. This can include treatment for:
By addressing changes associated with aging or skin quality, this treatment supports a smoother, more vibrant appearance.
In the treatment room, Dr. Aghayan will provide you with appropriate protective eyewear and apply anesthesia designed to improve your comfort during the procedure. He will then clean the area and use the laser handpiece, which delivers calibrated pulses based on your treatment plan.
Portland patients who choose Contour TRL technology for laser resurfacing can expect treatment sessions to last between 30 and 60 minutes. The exact duration depends on the treatment area size and depth required for your specific skin concerns.
Your recovery, downtime, and healing depend on the depth of resurfacing for your cosmetic concerns. If you receive Contour TRL laser resurfacing with lighter peel settings, you may return to your daily activities in Portland within a few days. Deeper treatments may require one to two weeks for visible redness and peeling to subside. Skin remodeling may continue for several months.
Immediately after treatment, you can expect warmth and sunburn-like redness. This is usually followed by flaking or peeling as your skin heals.
We give you detailed instructions on how to care for your skin after treatment. We will also outline what you can expect while you heal. It is important for patients in Portland who choose Contour TRL laser resurfacing to keep the treated area moist with the recommended ointment or balm until new skin fully develops.
Avoid direct sun exposure and use broad-spectrum sun protection daily to protect your new skin. Wait until healing is complete to use exfoliants or retinol, as these disturb the recovery process. Use gentle cleansers and avoid scrubbing the area.
For medium or deep peels, plan to take one to two weeks away from work or social activities as your skin recovers. You are encouraged to stay hydrated, avoid smoking, and carefully follow your post-treatment instructions for the best results.
