What Is The Recovery Time From Procedures and Treatments?

Most patients return to normal activities on the same day as their treatment. The area that is treated with the laser may be reddened, bruised or swollen for an hour or a few days, but camouflage cosmetics are usually able to conceal any evidence of treatment. Most treatments show little or no sign that you had anything done at all. A mild reddening for 1-3 hours is the most common after-effect. Any post-treatment discomfort can usually be relieved with extra-strength Tylenol. Your doctor may prescribe a stronger medication depending on the procedure. A topical antibiotic such as Bacitracin may also be recommended for the treatment area.

Is Laser Treatment Painful?

The sensations vary depending upon the procedure, the technology used, the wavelengths and the energy settings. Many procedures are completely painless. All are tolerable. Many people describe the laser as feeling like the snap of a rubber band on the skin. We utilize all of the most efficient and most comfortable treatment systems including the adjustable “frozen air cooling system” that maximizes patient comfort by chilling the treatment area before, during and after the procedure. A local anesthetic may be recommended for more sensitive treatment areas or for younger patients.

What Conditions can be Treated with Cosmetic Laser Therapy?

A variety of functional and cosmetic skin problems can be treated with lasers. Laser treatments can reduce the appearance of sun damage, scars, stretch marks, wrinkles, unwanted hair, fine lines, vascular lesions (birthmarks, spider veins, varicose veins and redness on the face) and uneven pigmentation. Please visit our our Procedures page for a complete list.

Erbium Contour TRL^TM

What is Erbium Contour TRL?

Sciton Erbium ablative laser resurfacing may offer extraordinary results! Erbium Contour TRL is a versatile laser platform with several technologies that target signs of sun damage and skin aging. Severe forehead wrinkles, severe under-eye wrinkles — most severe wrinkles on the face can be addressed, including severe acne scar treatment!

The Erbium Contour TRL laser provides remarkable precision, allowing for superficial peels and more aggressive and deep resurfacing as necessary while causing minimal underlying thermal injury — leading to faster recovery.

How does Erbium Contour TRL work?

Erbium Contour TRL is an excellent micro-ablative resurfacing technology that drastically improves skin texture without enduring the downtime of conventional full-field ablation. Unlike full-field resurfacing, which removes the entire skin surface of the treatment area, ProFractional creates micro-channels of ablation within the skin and treats only a fraction of the skin — resulting in increased patient comfort and shorter healing times. This ablative laser treatment works well for dermal solar elastosis and face texture improvement. Erbium Contour TRL is an effective severe wrinkle treatment, severe scar treatment, and endovenous laser ablation.

Length of treatment

Face and neck treatment can occur within 30 minutes, but the actual time will depend on the area treated.

Downtime

Downtime can be anywhere from 3-7 days, dependent upon settings used and individualized healing. Redness, swelling, peeling, dryness, and punctate bleeding are expected side effects in the first few days of recovery.

Results

Erbium Contour TRL is utilized as a stand-alone procedure or in conjunction with other Sciton treatments. Erbium Contour TRL is an excellent micro-ablative resurfacing technology for severe solar elastosis and treatment for skin texture. Tunable results range from subtle to dramatic. Ablating micro-channels means skin can quickly heal while increasing skin turgor and thickness. Collagen remodeling will occur over the next 2-3 months. If you are looking to improve skin texture, this procedure will impress!

For my Botox and microneedling, this is where I go. I'd never venture from these trained experts. Permanent make-up is next!

I've been treated by three staff members for various cosmetic procedures, including PDO threads and body contouring! I'd be hard-pressed to share with you my favourite. All were very experienced, competent, and friendly.
