Sciton® Contour TRL laser resurfacing

Frequently Asked Questions

What is it?

TRL is tunable resurfacing laser. But more important, what is resurfacing? With this laser, we can tune it to your specific needs and do a light laser "peel" or a deep resurfacing where we remove the old skin and force your body to regrow new, youthful skin.

What can I expect?

You will be numbed and receive some medications to help keep you comfy during the procedure. As we are removing a layer of skin, you can expect some downtime for about 10 days.

When will I see results?

You will already notice some improvement within the first few weeks as the skin regrows, but final results will be apparent closer to three to six months.

How long do the results last?

They are permanent! Because we are removing the old skin and replacing it with brand-new skin, for many and most clients this is a once-in-a-lifetime treatment

In what body areas can I get it?

For our deep resurfacing, we usually limit treatment to face (face has the most blood flow and heals up the fastest). A lot of our clients choose to treat only around their mouth to target their (non)smoker's lines. For the lighter laser peels, we can treat just about any body area!

Fillers (aka JUVÉDERM®, Restylane®, Versa™, RHA®, BELOTERO BALANCE®)

Frequently Asked Questions

What is PRP dermal fillers?

Most fillers are hyaluronic acid (which, unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve been hearing a lot about these days). Hyaluronic acid is what gives us that full, youthful-looking plumpness. In fillers, hyaluronic acid is cross-linked to give it volume and structure. Most aging is associated with volume loss, so we can inject fillers to decrease the appearance of aging. Another beautiful thing about hyaluronic acid fillers is that, if necessary, they can be reversed! So, they’re not too scary. Like everything on this list, fillers yield the best results when combined with other modalities on this list.

What can I expect?

In most injection areas, you will be numbed up first. The injection process is slightly more uncomfortable than with neurotoxins because we are adding volume, which creates a pressure sensation. As is the case with any procedure performed with a needle, there is a potential for bruising.

When will I see results?

Another wonder of fillers is immediate results! Many of them also draw in more water over a few days to weeks after injection, so results may become even be more dramatic.

How long do the results last?

Depending on the filler, the patient and location of injection, it can last anywhere from 6-24 months.

In what body areas can I get it?

Lips, cheeks and nasolabial folds (parentheses around the mouth) are some of the more common areas. Other possible areas include the under-eyes, earlobe, hands and marionette lines, to name a few.
