What is the TRL Sciton laser?

Our team at Apex Dermatology best describes the TRL Sciton laser as a state-of-the-art skin resurfacing device that uses short-pulsed light energy to target specific areas of the skin. It creates controlled damage to the outer layers of the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing response and thus promoting the growth of newer, healthier skin cells.

What are the benefits of facial resurfacing using the TRL Sciton laser?

Deep-level resurfacing using the TRL Sciton laser offers numerous benefits for our patients looking to enhance their appearance and health of their skin. These include some of the following:

Enhanced texture and tone. This treatment stimulates natural collagen production and removes the damaged outer layers of skin, smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles and reducing the overall appearance of scars and hyperpigmentation.
Rejuvenated complexion. The TRL Sciton laser can help promote a more youthful, radiant complexion by stimulating the production of new skin cells and improving the skin’s overall health.
Improved skin quality. This treatment can also help improve the overall texture and quality of the skin, making it much smoother, softer, and more even in tone.
Minimal downtime. Compared to other deep-level resurfacing procedures, using the TRL Sciton laser typically requires less downtime for recovery.

Who is a good candidate for facial resurfacing using the TRL Sciton laser?

Facial resurfacing with the TRL Sciton laser is suitable for many of our adult patients looking for complete facial skin rejuvenation. The best candidates are those with fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation. However, not everyone may be a good candidate for this treatment. During your consultation with Dr. Harp at Apex Dermatology, she evaluates your skin and medical history to decide if you are a suitable candidate.

What can I expect during and after the TRL Sciton laser treatments?

The facial resurfacing procedure using the TRL Sciton laser is performed in-office at Apex Dermatology by our experienced team, including our skilled doctors and trained aestheticians. The treatment usually takes around 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the specific size of the treated area. Patients might experience some minor discomfort during the procedure, but it is usually well-tolerated by most without additional numbing treatments. After the procedure, patients may experience some redness and mild swelling, similar to a sunburn. This usually subsides within a few days, and patients typically resume their normal activities after about a week.
