Meet Erbium Contour TRL®! This innovative skin resurfacing laser dramatically improves skin damage and signs of aging by removing the top layer of skin in targeted areas. As the skin heals and rebuilds itself, collagen production increases, reducing the appearance of fine and deep lines, blotchiness, scarring, and discoloration.
The Erbium Contour TRL skin treatment features precisely tunable settings, allowing our Beverly Hills laser specialists to target only the damaged areas of skin, leaving healthy tissues untouched. In response, your skin produces new, healthy skin cells, effortlessly erasing skin damage and signs of aging. Dr. Nazarian and her skilled team will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve a more youthful appearance and clearer, more radiant-looking skin.

Laser skin resurfacing has long been used to treat signs of aging, scarring, and pigment irregularities. The Erbium Contour TRL (Tunable Resurfacing Laser) is a highly adjustable resurfacing treatment that allows providers to treat everything from light discoloration to deep-set lines and rough texture.
The erbium laser energy safely vaporizes damaged surface cells while triggering the healing process and stimulating collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin. The result is more precise, firmer, and more even skin with enhanced collagen production, leading to a natural, glowing appearance.
Unlike more aggressive CO2 lasers, the TRL treatment allows for refined control, making it safer for more skin types and tones when performed by an experienced provider.
The Erbium Contour TRL laser works by precisely removing the top layers of skin in targeted areas. During laser treatments, the body’s natural healing process is activated, encouraging collagen production. Collagen is a protein that works to protect the skin and improves overall thickness and resilience. The healing process stimulates the growth of new healthy cells and gives the skin a rejuvenated look and feel.
Before & Preparation
Before your first Erbium Contour TRL resurfacing treatment, you’ll have a consultation with Dr. Nazarian at Spa26 to discuss your concerns and goals. Before your treatment appointment, you’ll receive specific instructions like:
During the Procedure
During the laser resurfacing procedure, your experienced practitioner will discuss the exact steps of the process. The laser treatment is highly targeted based on your personalized treatment plan. It’s not expected that you’ll experience much discomfort, as local numbing and topical numbing are applied as needed, but be sure to inform the practitioners if you experience any discomfort.
Here is what to expect during your laser skin resurfacing session:
The Erbium Contour TRL is ideal for those looking to improve:
This skin resurfacing procedure can also be part of a broader rejuvenation plan when combined with other laser treatments or non-surgical procedures.
If you could take years off of your appearance with a simple procedure, that may be enough of a reason to go all in. But, there are many excellent benefits of TRL resurfacing in the treatment of fine lines and wrinkles that include (but are certainly not limited to):
Common treatment areas include:
Erbium Contour TRL can be used to treat some body scarring as well. If you have any questions about treatment areas, don’t hesitate to contact our office.
Suppose you have scarring, wrinkles, or blemishes that impact your confidence. In that case, you are likely a good candidate for TRL facial resurfacing. Men and women of lighter and medium skin tones benefit from Contour TRL laser rejuvenation, and most patients are able to uncover smoother skin. Skin conditions that can effectively be treated with Contour TRL include scars, solar spots, pigment irregularities, actinic keratosis, uneven skin tone, including hyperpigmentation, fine lines, aging wrinkles, and more.
If you have allergies to injectable anesthetics or have a clotting disorder, Dr. Nazarian can discuss how this may impact your procedure, but modifications are completely possible. Schedule an initial consultation at Spa26 to discover if you’re a good candidate.
Once your treatment is complete, you’ll need 5 to 14 days of recovery, depending on the surface area and depth of treatment. While you won’t be physically limited after the first day or two, you’ll need a social vacation and should avoid sunlight until the healing process is well underway.
Your provider will give you specific aftercare instructions that may include:
You may see initial improvements within 7 to 10 days of your skin resurfacing treatment as the outer layers of skin heal. The most visible transformation continues to develop gradually over the next several weeks as new collagen forms. By the 1-3-month mark, most patients see their final results: smoother skin texture, reduced fine lines, and a more even, radiant skin tone.
Many also notice that deep-set lines appear softened, acne scars are less visible, and areas of sun damage or discoloration begin to fade. Skin that once looked dull or tired often takes on a refreshed, more luminous appearance. These improvements can help you achieve a youthfiul glow that lasts for years with the right maintenance, especially when paired with sun protection and a supportive skincare routine, helping you feel more confident in your skin every day.
The cost of laser resurfacing varies based on the area treated and the type of laser procedure performed.

Each client has varying pain thresholds, but most patients experience minimal discomfort during and after laser resurfacing. A local and topical anesthetic will be used during resurfacing. Post-procedure pain feels like a sunburn and can be reduced with a cold compress.
Results typically begin to appear as skin cells recover and heal. For many people, initial results are visible in one to two weeks and continue to improve over the following month, with peak results at three months.
Many patients find long-lasting to permanent results with laser resurfacing treatments. However, aging does continue, and new fine lines and wrinkles may appear over time.
Because laser skin treatment is not medically necessary, medical insurance does not generally cover the cost of treatments. You can contact your insurance provider directly to determine if your policy will cover a portion of the procedure. In some cases, including cancer treatment, laser resurfacing may be entirely or partially covered.
Your individual treatment goals, conditions, and initial treatment results will guide your custom plan and determine how many treatments you require. If multiple sessions are recommended, you should wait at least four weeks between laser treatments.
While deeper treatments, like TRL Contour treatment, are incredibly safe procedures, as with any medical procedure, they are not without potential side effects and risks. Risks are minimal, and most side effects can be reduced or avoided with proper planning and recovery care. Your provider will discuss the potential risks of undergoing TRL Contour and prepare you for any side effects you may experience.
Procedure risks and side effects may include:
Severe reactions and infections are rare, but your provider will discuss proactive prevention measures. If you’re ever concerned, don’t hesitate to contact the S26 team.
While laser treatments tend to pose more risks for darker skin, Erbium Contour TRL Resurfacing can be a safe option for some patients with darker skin tones. The treatment settings must be carefully customized to reduce the risk of pigment changes. At Spa26 in Beverly Hills, our providers assess each patient’s unique skin type and concerns before recommending the most suitable approach. In some cases, gentler resurfacing treatments or staged sessions may be advised to achieve a smoother texture and even tone while protecting your natural complexion.
