Contour TRL™ Full Ablation (Er:YAG 2940nm) in Brisbane (Teneriffe)

Quick facts

• Clinic: Eleventh Heaven — 37 Doggett Street, Teneriffe QLD 4005 (Brisbane)

• Technology: Sciton Contour TRL™ (full-field Er:YAG 2940nm)

• Often considered for: deep lines, coarse texture, photodamage, selected acne/surgical scars (appearance)

• Anaesthesia: varies (topical and/or other options may be discussed)

• In-clinic time: varies by area and anaesthesia plan

• Downtime: commonly ~7–14+ days of visible healing; redness may persist longer (varies)

• Aftercare: structured wound care + strict sun protection are essential

• Next step: doctor-led consultation to confirm suitability, expected recovery, risks and alternatives

For suitable adults, Contour TRL™ can be used to resurface the skin and support collagen remodelling, which may improve the appearance of:

• Deeper lines and wrinkles (e.g., around the eyes and mouth)

• Acne scars and selected surgical/traumatic scars

• Sun-related pigmentation (sun spots/age spots) and uneven tone

• Texture irregularities and enlarged pores

• Early skin laxity in selected cases (via collagen remodelling), as advised by your clinician

Important to know: A doctor-led consultation is required to assess suitability, skin type and medical history, and to discuss benefits, risks, alternatives, costs and aftercare. Downtime after full-field resurfacing is typically ~7–14+ days of visible healing, with redness that may persist longer depending on treatment depth, area and skin type. Individual responses vary; no outcome is guaranteed.

WHO IT’S FOR

Who is Contour TRL™ best suited for? (doctor assessment required)

Contour TRL™ may be considered for suitable adults who:

• have more established sun-related change (photodamage)

• want improvement in the appearance of deep perioral/periorbital lines (around mouth/eyes)

• have selected acne scars or surgical/traumatic scars (case-dependent)

• prefer a deeper resurfacing approach compared with fractional laser options (case-dependent)

If Contour TRL™ isn’t the best match, we’ll discuss alternatives (including fractional resurfacing options or non-laser plans).

ER:YAG VS CO2

Er:YAG (2940nm) vs CO₂: what’s the difference?

Er:YAG (2940nm) is commonly used for precise ablation with comparatively limited residual thermal effect. In selected patients, this can support fine control over depth and recovery planning.

Important: all ablative resurfacing carries risk (including pigment change and scarring). Your clinician will assess suitability and explain options during consultation.

WHAT TO EXPECT

What to expect (downtime is longer than fractional laser)

1) Doctor-led consultation
We assess skin type, medical history, medications, pigment risk and goals. You’ll receive a clear plan for likely downtime, aftercare, and alternatives.

2) Treatment planning
Anaesthesia and settings vary by area and depth. Your plan may focus on specific zones (e.g., mouth/eyes) or broader resurfacing depending on suitability.

3) Recovery & aftercare
Visible healing is commonly ~7–14+ days. Redness may persist longer depending on depth and skin type. Structured wound care and strict sun protection are essential.

CONCERNS

Concerns Contour TRL™ may help with (appearance)

For suitable adults, Contour TRL™ may support improvement in the appearance of:

• Deep lines and wrinkles (especially perioral/periorbital)

• Coarse texture and uneven surface

• Sun-related pigmentation and uneven tone (case-dependent)

• Selected acne scars and other scars (case-dependent)

• Enlarged pores and textural irregularities

A consultation is required to confirm whether full ablation is appropriate for your skin type and goals.

RISKS

Risks, side effects and important information

All procedures carry risk. With full-field resurfacing, downtime and risks are generally higher than fractional options.

Common (usually temporary):

• redness, warmth, swelling, tenderness

• oozing/crusting early in healing (case-dependent)

• tightness, dryness, peeling/flaking

• sensitivity and itch as skin heals

Uncommon:

• prolonged redness or sensitivity

• post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (darkening) or hypopigmentation (lightening)

• cold sore (HSV) flare if prone (preventive medication may be considered)

Rare but potentially significant:

• infection, delayed healing

• scarring

• persistent pigment change

• eye injury if eye protection is not used correctly

Seek prompt advice if you develop increasing pain, discharge, worsening swelling/redness, fever, or other concerning symptoms.
