Treatment Details

Dr. Small typically performs laser skin resurfacing with Contour TRL under local anesthesia. However, if a deeper treatment is required, he may add sedation to ensure your comfort and relaxation. Before your session, you will be fitted with protective eyewear.

The device is then placed over each targeted treatment area, guided by computer software to ensure precision and uniformity. Sessions typically last 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the size and location of your skin concerns.

Recovery After Contour TRL in Ocean County

After laser skin resurfacing with Contour TRL, it is common to experience mild swelling, redness akin to a sunburn, tightness, and warmth in the skin. If needed, Dr. Small can prescribe pain medications to help alleviate any tenderness. Within 24 to 72 hours of your session, you may notice oozing, which is a normal side effect and is not cause for concern. As your skin heals, make sure to use a medical-grade moisturizer and avoid picking at or rubbing your skin. The complexion will naturally shed its damaged layers, and there is nothing you need to do to help the process along. Always use sunblock when in direct contact with the sun's harmful UV rays.

Contour TRL Frequently Asked Questions

Is Contour TRL Painful?

Prior to your session, your skin will be treated with a topical anesthetic, ensuring your total comfort during your appointment. For deeper treatments, Dr. Small can provide sedation as well. After your procedure, you may experience mild swelling, redness, and tenderness. These are normal symptoms that fade quickly. If needed, Dr. Small can write you a prescription for pain medication, or you can take over-the-counter painkillers.

How Much Does Contour TRL Cost in Ocean County?

Pricing usually depends on the extent of your complexion concerns and the size and location of the treatment area. Dr. Small will offer you a personalized price quote after completing your private consultation.

Can Contour TRL Be Combined With Other Treatments?

Yes. Dr. Small is known for offering an impressive range of transformative treatments for the skin, face, breasts, and body. He can formulate a customized treatment plan for you after your private consultation in Toms River or Stafford Township.

How Long Is Recovery After a Contour TRL Treatment?

You may notice a feeling of warmth and tightness in the skin, along with redness and minor swelling, for 1-2 weeks after your appointment. Dr. Small will provide an individualized aftercare plan for you to help you attain your desired results as soon as possible.

How Long Will It Take to See Results?

Patients can usually see improvements within two to three weeks with Contour TRL. However, your skin’s condition will continue to improve and evolve as collagen production is gradually enhanced.

How Long Do Results Last?

Your skin will improve for months after your session as collagen renewal takes place. While the aging process will continue no matter what, you can undergo maintenance laser treatments to preserve your changes. Another way to increase the longevity of your results is to use a quality sunblock, preventing further damage from harmful UV rays.
