Address deep wrinkles and significant sun damage with powerful ContourTRL treatments in Beverly Hills and Pasadena. At Leif Rogers, MD, we’re focused on delivering safe, effective treatments to patients through strategic treatment sessions and streamlined recovery timelines.

Targeting Your Long-Standing Concerns

Years of sun exposure and deeper wrinkles don’t always respond to gentler resurfacing options, and some patients are ready for a more intense treatment. At Leif Rogers, MD, we offer ContourTRL treatments to patients whose concerns require a more thorough, ablative approach that delivers genuinely transformative change on a cellular level.

What Is ContourTRL?

ContourTRL is a fractional ablative laser that reaches further into the skin than lighter peels, removing damaged tissue to address deeper wrinkles, significant sun damage, and established textural concerns. Because it works at this greater depth, ContourTRL delivers a level of improvement that surface treatments are simply not designed to achieve. While every patient has their own motivations for seeking treatment, many come to us for the following ContourTRL benefits:

Meaningful reduction in deeper wrinkles and folds
Significant improvement in long-standing sun damage
Renewed texture across more established areas of concern
Results achieved in a single, focused treatment

The LRMD Difference

A treatment as thorough as ContourTRL requires careful judgment about depth, technique, and pain management, and our team has the surgical foundation necessary to deliver ContourTRL with precision. Our founder, Dr. Leif Rogers, MD, FACS, has spent his career managing tissue healing at every level, and that experience shapes how our team approaches a more involved treatment like ContourTRL. He’s dedicated to going over and beyond his patients’ expectations with one-on-one consultations and customized treatment plans. From initial candidacy through recovery planning, you’ll receive individualized guidance at every step, including more appropriate treatment options if we find that ContourTRL is too intense for your complexion. Our goal is to protect your skin health now and in the future, regardless of your chosen treatment.

What to Expect From Your ContourTRL Treatments in Beverly Hills and Pasadena

A Deeper Ablative Approach

ContourTRL removes a thicker layer of tissue than lighter peels, reaching the depths necessary to address long-standing sun damage and wrinkles. This more thorough removal is key to ContourTRL’s ability to deliver significant improvement in skin clarity and texture.

Targeting Your Concerns

We typically recommend ContourTRL for more established concerns than lighter resurfacing treatments. Most often, our Beverly Hills and Pasadena patients come to us to treat the following conditions:

Deep wrinkles and folds
Significant, long-standing sun damage
Established textural irregularities
Concerns that did not respond to lighter treatments

During your initial consultation, your aesthetician will conduct a strategic skin assessment to determine whether ContourTRL matches the depth of your concern.

Your Day-Of Experience

Your aesthetician will apply a topical numbing agent well before your session begins, allowing sufficient time for it to take effect and reach the farthest layers of facial tissue. Next, they’ll glide the ContourTRL device across your treatment area in a focused, controlled pattern to achieve balanced, even results. Sessions typically last 30-60 minutes, depending on the size of your treatment area.

A Set Treatment Schedule

Most patients complete a single ContourTRL session, since its deeper removal is designed to deliver significant results without requiring a repeated series. If you wish to refine your results or target emerging damage, you can return to our office for annual maintenance sessions.

Gentle, Patient-First Recovery

Recovery after ContourTRL treatments in Beverly Hills and Pasadena typically involves significant redness, swelling, and visible peeling for up to one week. As healing completes, your fresh, renewed skin will emerge, and you may notice some sensitivity after peeling. You must avoid picking at your skin to allow the dead cells to flake off naturally.

Most patients in Beverly Hills and Pasadena will plan for a full week away from work or social obligations, since visible healing will be more pronounced than with lighter resurfacing options. We recommend limiting prolonged sun exposure and strenuous exercise for several days to allow your skin to heal without disruptions.

Your Post-Treatment Process

After your ContourTRL session, we’ll provide you with a detailed aftercare plan tailored to the treatment's more involved recovery process. This plan may include the following:

Wound care instructions during active peeling
Sun protection and exposure requirements
Skincare ingredients to avoid until fully healed
Moisturizing recommendations
Side effects to monitor
Guidance on when it’s safe to resume makeup and skincare use

Within a few weeks, you’ll return to either our Beverly Hills or Pasadena practice for a short check-in with our team. There, your aesthetician will evaluate your healing progress and assess your results before discussing any future maintenance options.

Powerful, Natural-Looking Transformations

Because ContourTRL removes a significant layer of damaged tissue, your results will be more dramatic than those from lighter resurfacing treatments. Most patients notice substantially smoother, more even skin within two to three weeks as healing completes and fresh tissue fully settles.

ContourTRL Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if ContourTRL is right for me?

If you have more advanced wrinkles, significant sun damage, or have not achieved your desired results with less intensive resurfacing treatments, your aesthetician may recommend ContourTRL. During your consultation, they will evaluate your skin and determine whether ContourTRL is the most appropriate treatment for your goals.

Is ContourTRL more painful than other resurfacing treatments?

Because ContourTRL delivers a higher level of laser energy than lighter resurfacing treatments, most patients experience a more noticeable sensation of warmth or tingling during the procedure. A topical numbing agent is applied beforehand to help keep you comfortable throughout treatment.

Will I need to take significant time off work after ContourTRL?

Yes. Most patients plan for about one week of visible healing following ContourTRL treatment. Many schedule the procedure before a vacation or during a lighter work period to allow adequate time for redness and peeling to resolve.

Is ContourTRL safe for all skin tones?

ContourTRL may carry a higher risk of pigmentation changes in deeper skin tones because it is an ablative laser treatment. During your consultation, your aesthetician will carefully evaluate your skin type to determine whether ContourTRL or another resurfacing option is the safest choice.

How long will my results from ContourTRL last?

With consistent sun protection and a good skincare routine, the results of a single ContourTRL treatment can last for several years. However, ongoing sun exposure and the natural aging process will gradually affect your skin, and future maintenance treatments may be recommended.
