Sun damage and environmental pollutants adversely affect the skin as a person ages. This leads to wrinkles and pigment aberrations, especially on facial skin.

A laser peel can effectively reduce or eliminate these problems. It is also an excellent way to reduce visible lines around the mouth and eyes without involving cosmetic surgery.

Various types of lasers are used to perform peels. However, Contour TRL is widely regarded as one of the safest and most successful laser skin resurfacing treatments available to patients today. Focused board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards provides laser skin resurfacing to patients in Las Vegas, NV and surrounding communities in The Silver State.

What is Contour TRL Erbium Resurfacing?

Contour TRL is an Erbium Yag laser which has been developed for skin resurfacing by eliminating a variable depth of aging and damaged skin. It can successfully reduce or eliminate fine lines and wrinkles as well as pigment irregularities. It also enhances the overall thickness and pliability of the skin by promoting the growth of fresh collagen.

After the treatment, the surface of the skin regenerates new and healthy cells. This gives the skin a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.

The treatment depth depends on the skin condition, desired results, and acceptable downtime of each patient. Unlike plastic surgery, this is an in-office procedure which is individualized to the particular skin goals of a patient.

How Does Contour TRL Laser Peel Work?

Contour TRL safely removes a layer of skin to a depth determined by the physician. The depth of treatment will depend on the patient’s skin condition, desired outcome, and expectation for downtime. As Contour TRL impacts the skin tissue with micron precision, the physician can treat the patient’s skin with the accurate amount of energy required.

Laser treatment promotes the production of fresh collagen which enhances the thickness and resilience of the skin. The surface of the skin will also develop new and healthy cells. This offers the skin a youthful and rejuvenated appearance.

What Conditions can be treated with Contour TRL?

• Deep wrinkles, even in challenging areas such as the eyes and mouth
• Scars
• Poor skin tone and texture
• Actinic Keratoses
• Solar spots

What will happen during the Procedure?

The treatment provider will thoroughly cleanse the skin in the treatment site and place protective eye shields. They will then position the laser handpiece over the skin and hold it in place while the computer-guided scanner moves the laser ray over the treatment region. The procedure typically lasts for 15 to 30 minutes depending on the size of the treatment area.

What Should I Expect Immediately Following the Treatment?

The patient may have redness and a sunburn-type sensation right after the treatment. There may be some inflammation in the treated sites as well.

The physician will advise the patient on aftercare following the treatment. This may include analgesics and using an ointment to ensure that the skin stays moist. Prudent cosmetic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards receives patients for laser skin resurfacing from Las Vegas, NV and other neighborhoods and cities in this part the country.

Excerpts from a Few Patient Reviews on Yelp

Lindsay H., Las Vegas, NV

5.0 star rating 6/4/2018

This review is so longer overdue! My laser technician, Lynette, is the absolute best in the business! She is experienced and thorough with everything she does and she is the sweetest gal ever! I have been seeing Lynette for all my skin care needs for about 4 years. The past 2 years I have been a loyal monthly client doing almost every treatment she offers.

Over 10 years ago I had a terrible experience with a laser treatment that was SO painful, caused hypo pigmentation and even left me with some scars. It took me months to heal and weeks to even feel better and ever since then I have been scared to do a deeper laser treatment. But again, this was Lynette and she knows my history and my skin so well if I was going try a more intense laser Lynette is the ONLY I would let do it.

With that being said, I had the Halo Laser done on Thursday and I am so glad I did! All my fears of laser are gone! I’m healing and my skin looks so bright and SO CLEAR! I have a few more days of healing, but WOW, it is so worth it! No complications like I had before over 10 years ago.

They allow you to numb for 1 hour in most cases. The doctor even came in while I was numbing and asked me if I had any questions or concerns before we started. On a scale of 1-10 the pain level throughout the treatment for me was a 2-3, but mostly a 2! I was shocked. I thought it would be more painful, but it wasn’t!

The technology on the laser is the best. Mapping out the measurements of the area to be treated and timed so you can feel confident it is a thorough and accurate treatment. Also, it is a dual laser meaning it’s non-ablative and ablative allowing recovery time to be quicker than traditional fraxel.

As a working Esthetician for 13 years, there is just no other person I’d trust with my skin! You’ll be in good hands with my girl Lynette! She keeps my skin looking bright and flawless.

As for Dr. Richards, aside from his surgical talent, he has an excellent bedside manner and really makes you feel comfortable when speaking with you. He is real, down to earth, affable, and doesn’t project any sort of smug or superior attitude. From what I experienced, he treats you like you’re a friend of a friend. He gives you his cell number in case you have questions or concerns, and tells you not to hesitate to call or text.

You really can’t ask for more than that, but still, he and his staff deliver.

If you are on the fence, take the time to have a consultation with Dr. Richards. The hundreds of 5 star reviews across multiple websites are not lying – they are there for a reason – and that reason is because he has earned them!

The office is really classy. The doctor has won many awards that he has displayed around the office. There is a cozy fireplace and drinks available.

I have had Botox before so really appreciated it was such a quick process. I did not have to fill out a ton of paperwork or sit with a doctor forever. I was literally in and out in 15 minutes.

I got no bruising and the results overall are fantastic. I am really really happy and will be returning.

Truly an amazing doctor and staff! I had a mommy makeover due to back pain from having twins and it has significantly helped my back pain. I am extremely happy with the doctor he knows exactly what he is doing and truly cares about his patients. The staff is very helpful and has answered all of my questions in a timely manner. Could not be more happy with this cosmetic surgeon! Truly the best in town!

There is a perfectly good explanation for Dr. Bryson Richards having the number 1 spot with over 100 5 Star reviews on YELP. Because he has earned it! Because he deserves it! Because he has an incredible team!

After interviewing 5 other doctors in Las Vegas and San Diego, I knew Dr. Richards was my doctor. He listens to me but he is not afraid to give his professional and educated opinion… and has even said no to me. His confidence comforts me. And I am convinced he has magic hands. The professional and friendly staff is equally impressive. The facially is beautifully and modern.

As an Elite Yelper, I am listing all procedures I have by Dr. Richard because I would have appreciated talking to someone that had actually gone through the procedures. So, please feel free to ask me any questions. Clearly, I am not a health care professional so please limit questions as from a patient’s perspective only. He gives complete and free consults so I do suggest starting there.
