Introduction
If you’re looking to erase fine lines, sunspots, or acne scars, this treatment could be your secret weapon. Dr. Carlos Rivera at Rivera Plastic Surgery in Miami Beach, FL, customizes your treatment to target exactly what your skin needs, using the magic of the Sciton® Contour Tunable Resurfacing Laser (TRL™).
Skin resurfacing is a key component of facial rejuvenation and complements surgery. While surgery addresses deeper facial structures, skin resurfacing focuses on the skin’s surface, helping it look younger, reduce wrinkles, and become more vibrant. Dr. Rivera’s goal is not just to perform surgery but to enhance your overall appearance. Surgery and skin resurfacing are complementary treatments that work in tandem to achieve a more youthful, refreshed, and wrinkle-free look.
Dr. Rivera is proud to offer the Sciton® Contour Tunable Resurfacing Laser (TRL™), a key part of the advanced Sciton Joule system. Sciton is widely regarded as the “Rolls Royce” of laser devices, and the TRL is a highly customizable tool for skin rejuvenation. It provides a full range of resurfacing options, from the MicroLaserPeel™ to deeper laser skin resurfacing treatments. As one of the most advanced and sophisticated laser skin rejuvenation systems available, the Sciton® TRL™ allows for precision with its computer-controlled delivery. This enables us to target only the damaged areas of the skin, leaving the surrounding tissue intact. The result is a quicker recovery time and more effective results.
It’s a noninvasive, precision-packed procedure that helps reveal smoother, glowing skin, boosting your confidence and giving you that fresh, rejuvenated look you’ve been craving. Get ready for skin that looks as youthful and radiant as you feel!
Laser skin resurfacing with the Contour Tunable Resurfacing Laser (TRL ™) (Erbium Laser) is a highly effective treatment designed to refresh and rejuvenate your skin. This advanced laser technology removes damaged outer layers while stimulating collagen production, helping smooth fine lines, reduce scars, improve skin tone, and restore a youthful glow.
Laser skin resurfacing with the Contour Tunable Resurfacing Erbium Laser is designed to refresh and rejuvenate your skin with precision and customization. This advanced technology effectively treats fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, uneven texture, and acne scars while promoting collagen production for long-term improvements.
The best candidates for laser skin resurfacing with the Contour Tunable Resurfacing (TRL™) Erbium Laser are individuals looking to improve skin texture, reduce wrinkles, and address sun damage or acne scars. This treatment typically responds best to those with fair to medium skin tones, as it minimizes the risk of pigmentation changes.
Erbium lasers are superior to CO2 lasers for skin resurfacing due to their gentler approach, resulting in faster recovery and a lower risk of side effects like hyperpigmentation (skin darkening) and scarring. This is particularly beneficial for individuals with a genetic predisposition or darker skin tones. The Erbium laser’s wavelength of 2,940 nm is much closer to the peak water absorption of the skin (around 2,800–3,000 nm), allowing for more precise energy delivery and less thermal damage compared to the CO2 laser’s 10,600 nm wavelength, which is about 3.6 times longer, or 260% farther away. However, Erbium laser devices are typically much more expensive than their CO2 counterparts, which is one reason they are less frequently seen or purchased in plastic surgery and dermatology practices.
The journey to brighter, smoother skin starts with a consultation at Rivera Plastic Surgery in Miami Beach. Dr. Rivera will listen to your skin concerns, discuss your goals, and create a custom plan for you. This is your time to ask questions and feel completely at ease so you can be confident as you move forward with your skin rejuvenation. It’s all about understanding your needs and setting you up for glowing, refreshed skin.
Your skin will first be cleansed and then numbed. Once you’re ready, Dr. Rivera will use the Contour Tunable Resurfacing Erbium Laser to target areas of concern, gently removing damaged skin layers while stimulating collagen production.
Recovery after laser skin resurfacing with Dr. Rivera is gradual, but the results are well worth it. In the first few days, expect some redness, swelling, and a mild sensation similar to a sunburn. Your skin may also feel tight and slightly rough as it begins to heal. Around the one-week mark, any peeling or flaking will start to subside, revealing smoother, fresher skin underneath. Keeping your skin hydrated and following Dr. Rivera’s aftercare instructions, including sun protection, will help optimize healing. While the initial recovery takes about 7 to 10 days, collagen production continues over the next few months, enhancing your skin’s tone, texture, and overall glow.
The cost of laser skin resurfacing in Miami Beach, FL, typically ranges between $350 and $3,500 per session.
