TRL Laser Resurfacing in Lone Tree, CO
Years of sun exposure, natural aging, and life’s experiences leave their mark on your skin. TRL (Tunable Resurfacing Laser) technology offers a personalized approach to skin renewal, addressing everything from fine lines and wrinkles to sun damage and uneven texture. At Atagi Plastic Surgery & Skin Aesthetics in Lone Tree, our laser technician combines advanced Sciton Contour TRL technology with precise technique to help you achieve smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
Understanding TRL Laser Treatment
When you look in the mirror, you might notice fine lines around your eyes, rough patches from sun damage, or an overall loss of that smooth, radiant complexion you once had. These changes happen because sun exposure, aging, and environmental factors damage the top layers of your skin while slowing down your body’s natural renewal process. TRL laser technology works by creating precise columns of controlled thermal injury in your skin. This process removes damaged surface layers while stimulating your body’s natural healing response. As your skin heals, it produces fresh collagen and elastin, revealing smoother, more even-toned skin underneath. TRL is tunable, meaning our laser technician can adjust the treatment intensity to match your specific skin concerns and desired recovery time.
Who Benefits from TRL Laser Treatment
TRL laser treatment is particularly effective for patients with moderate to severe skin concerns who want significant improvement and are willing to plan for a longer recovery period. You might be a good candidate if you have deep wrinkles, significant sun damage, acne scarring, or pronounced skin texture issues that haven’t responded well to other treatments. This treatment works on most skin types, though patients with darker skin tones require special consideration and technique adjustments. The ideal TRL candidate is in good overall health, has realistic expectations about the healing process, and can commit to proper aftercare and sun protection. Since TRL involves more downtime, it’s important that you can plan for about one to two weeks of social downtime while your skin heals.

What to Expect During Treatment
Consultation
Our laser technician evaluates your skin concerns, discusses your goals, and determines if TRL is the right treatment for your skin type and lifestyle. You’ll also receive detailed pre-treatment instructions, including skincare preparations that help optimize your results and healing process.
Treatment
Plan to be at our office for about 3 hours total. This includes time for numbing cream to take effect, medication, and a dental block before your treatment begins. The actual TRL treatment itself takes approximately 60 minutes. TRL is performed on the face only.
Aftercare
Your skin will be red and swollen initially, similar to a sunburn. Most patients see initial healing within 7-14 days, with continued improvement over months. Our team monitors your healing progress and provides guidance on maintaining your results with appropriate skincare and sun protection.
Results
You’ll notice smoother texture and improved tone as healing progresses. Full results develop over 3-6 months as new collagen forms.

TRL laser treatment involves some discomfort, but topical numbing cream is applied before the procedure, and we also provide oral medication and a dental block to ensure your comfort throughout treatment. Most patients describe the sensation as similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin or a mild stinging, similar to a severe sunburn, with any discomfort well-tolerated.
Many patients see significant improvement after just one TRL treatment session. However, depending on your skin concerns and goals, our team may recommend a series of treatments spaced several months apart for optimal results.
Yes, TRL laser can be combined with other treatments as part of a comprehensive skin renewal plan. Our team may recommend combining TRL with treatments like Botox, dermal fillers, or other procedures, though timing and sequencing are important for optimal results and healing.
Initial results from TRL laser become visible as your skin heals over the first 1-2 weeks, with continued improvement over the following months. The most significant results typically develop over 3-6 months as new collagen forms and skin texture continues to improve.
Post-TRL skincare focuses on gentle healing support and sun protection. Our team will provide specific instructions including recommended cleansers, moisturizers, and healing ointments, along with strict sun avoidance during the healing period and ongoing sun protection afterward.
