Deep Level Laser Resurfacing — Contour TRL^™ by Sciton

What is Deep Laser Resurfacing?

Deep laser resurfacing is an advanced ablative laser treatment designed to target the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and accelerating natural healing. It effectively treats:

✅ Deep wrinkles & fine lines – Especially around the eyes and mouth
✅ Sun damage & age spots – Restores a brighter, more even skin tone
✅ Acne scars & surgical scars – Reduces texture irregularities and smooths the skin
✅ Rough, uneven skin texture – Improves skin quality and elasticity

At Des Moines Plastic Surgery, we use Sciton’s Contour TRL™ (Tunable Resurfacing Laser) to precisely customize treatments based on your skin’s needs—ensuring maximum results with minimal downtime.

How Does Deep Laser Resurfacing Work?

Sciton’s Deep Resurfacing technology removes the damaged outer layers of skin while stimulating collagen remodeling in the deeper layers. The result? A firmer, smoother, and more youthful complexion that continues improving for months after treatment.

Key Benefits of Deep Resurfacing:

✔ Dramatic improvement in wrinkles & skin laxity
✔ Customizable depth for personalized results
✔ Long-lasting collagen stimulation for continued improvement
✔ Minimal risk of hyperpigmentation compared to other lasers

What Types of Laser Resurfacing Do You Offer?

Superficial Resurfacing with Microlaser Peel®

A Microlaser Peel®at Des Moines Plastic Surgery™ removes a very thin layer of skin to improve fine lines, pigmentation, and improves tone and texture of the skin. The Microlaser Peel® (MLP) can be tailored to your desired effect and amount of downtime. The MLP is performed with the Sciton laser at Des Moines Plastic Surgery™ and requires minimal downtime and you can return to normal activities quickly. The MLP is recommended for pigmentation, fine lines, tone, and texture issues. The face, neck, chest, arms, hands, and shoulders can be treated to reduce brown spots and improve skin changes due to aging and sun damage.

Fractional Resurfacing with ProFractional Therapy®

ProFractional treatment at Des Moines Plastic Surgery™ treats a fraction of the skin, stimulating new collagen growth and improves skin tone, texture, fine lines, and deeper wrinkles, and the appearance of scars. The fractionated technology results in faster recovery. ProFractional therapy is quick, comfortable and requires little to moderate downtime. Recommended for fine lines and wrinkles, scars, tone and texture.
