Discover Clearer, Smoother, Younger-Looking Skin

At Holcomb–Kreithen Plastic Surgery & Medspa, we offer the Contour TRL™ laser resurfacing treatment in Tampa, widely recognized as the gold standard in erbium YAG laser technology. Whether you’re dealing with sun damage, fine lines, acne scars, or poor skin tone, Contour TRL provides dramatic improvements with precision and customizable depth for every skin type and concern.

What Is Contour TRL?

Contour TRL (Tunable Resurfacing Laser) is an advanced erbium laser system that safely removes the outer layers of damaged skin while stimulating collagen production beneath the surface. This device allows your provider to tailor the treatment depth — from light exfoliating peels to deep resurfacing — all with unmatched accuracy and minimal risk.

Skin concerns Contour TRL can treat:

  • Mild to deep wrinkles
  • Rough texture and poor tone
  • Acne scarring
  • Sun damage and pigmentation
  • Benign skin lesions

How Does Contour TRL Work?

The laser’s energy gently vaporizes layers of damaged skin, which triggers your body’s natural healing process. At the same time, it stimulates collagen remodeling, helping to firm and rejuvenate your skin from the inside out. The TRL’s tunable depth control ensures that your treatment is tailored to your specific skin condition, downtime tolerance, and aesthetic goals.

What Are the Treatment Options?

Contour TRL offers multiple resurfacing levels:

  • NanoLaserPeel™ – light exfoliation with minimal downtime
  • MicroLaserPeel™ – deeper surface rejuvenation
  • Full-field deep resurfacing – dramatic tightening and texture correction

What to Expect During Treatment

Before your session, your skin will be cleansed and protected. A topical numbing agent will be applied for lighter treatments, while deeper resurfacing may require local anesthetic or sedation. A handheld laser device delivers computer-guided pulses of energy to the treatment area, and sessions typically last:

  • 10–15 minutes for spot treatments
  • 30–45 minutes for full-face resurfacing

Recovery and Results

You’ll begin to see smoother, brighter skin as early as one week post-treatment, with deeper procedures continuing to show progressive improvements for up to 6 months as new collagen forms.

Downtime:

  • Light treatments: 3–4 days of mild redness and flaking
  • Deeper resurfacing: 5–7 days or more of peeling, swelling, and sunburn-like sensitivity

Post-treatment care includes:

  • Application of a healing balm or occlusive ointment
  • Avoiding sun exposure until full healing
  • Camouflage mineral makeup once skin has re-epithelialized

You may be a great candidate for Contour TRL if you:

  • Are bothered by wrinkles, discoloration, or dull texture
  • Have sun-damaged or scarred skin
  • Prefer a non-surgical option for facial rejuvenation
  • Have light to medium skin tones (darker tones may require alternative options)
