Contour TRL Erbium Laser is a full-thickness ablative skin resurfacing treatment that rejuvenates and restores the skin from within. At Skin by Meghan Dinneen in Caribou, ME, this advanced laser technology effectively targets deep lines, fine wrinkles, and skin laxity. Often described as a complete skin reset, it helps reveal a softer, smoother, and more radiant complexion with long-lasting improvement over time.
Contour TRL Erbium Laser provides dramatic improvements for aging or sun-damaged skin. Some of the key benefits include:
Targets pronounced facial lines to smooth and firm the skin's surface.
Encourages collagen remodeling for firmer, more resilient skin.
Removes damaged outer layers to improve tone and smoothness.
Improves multiple skin concerns, including wrinkles, sun damage, and laxity.
Many clients experience visible improvement after their first session, with continued enhancement as the skin heals.
Both Erbium and CO₂ lasers deliver excellent resurfacing results, but they are not the same. The Contour TRL Erbium Laser offers a more refined and comfortable experience, making it the preferred option for patients who want smoother skin with less downtime.
Erbium targets water in the skin with exceptional accuracy, removing damaged tissue micron by micron. This precision allows beautiful texture improvement with far less heat injury than CO₂ lasers.
Because Erbium creates minimal thermal damage, recovery is typically quicker and more comfortable. Patients often notice faster healing, reduced redness, and an easier recovery, ideal for busy lifestyles.
Erbium is outstanding for addressing enlarged pores, fine lines, crepey texture, sun damage, and acne scarring. It produces a smooth, polished finish similar to "glass-skin" resurfacing without the aggressive CO₂ after-effects.
Erbium resurfacing promotes hydrated, refreshed skin while maintaining natural facial movement. The outcome is a soft, youthful glow rather than an overly tight appearance.
With controlled heat delivery and customizable depth, Erbium offers effective results for a wider range of skin tones.
It represents a modern, elegant approach to resurfacing, powerful enough to transform yet gentle enough for real-life schedules, helping patients achieve skin that looks naturally flawless.
This treatment uses precise laser energy to carefully remove aged or damaged skin while stimulating collagen production beneath the surface. As the skin regenerates, it appears clearer, smoother, and more youthful. The Contour TRL Erbium Laser performs full-thickness ablative skin resurfacing, allowing the provider to precisely control the depth of treatment for customized results.
You may be a good fit for this treatment if:
Your provider will evaluate your skin health and recommend the most appropriate resurfacing depth for your goals.
At Skin by Meghan Dinneen, we specialize in safe, personalized, and effective skin rejuvenation treatments. Each Contour TRL session is conducted with precision and care to achieve optimal results.
Most clients notice visible results after a single treatment, though some may benefit from multiple sessions based on individual needs.
A numbing cream is applied before treatment to minimize discomfort. Most clients describe a warm, tingling sensation that fades quickly.
Improvement occurs as the skin heals, typically within 1 to 2 weeks. Collagen production continues for several months, enhancing the results.
Downtime averages seven to ten days, during which the skin renews and sheds. Redness and flaking are normal signs of healing.
This resurfacing treatment is generally best for lighter complexions. Your provider will evaluate your skin tone and determine the safest and most effective plan.
