Contour TRL™ or Laser CO₂: what's the difference?
| Criteria | Contour TRL (Er:YAG) | Laser CO₂ |
|---|---|---|
| Technology | More recent, designed to optimize results with fewer side effects | Older, but still used in certain cases |
| Laser type | Erbium:YAG (2940 nm) | Carbon dioxide (10,600 nm) |
| Mode of action | Adjustable ablative laser with ultra-precise depth control (to the nearest micron) | Ablative laser with less precise penetration depth, higher risk of residual heat |
| Residual heat | Very low → less thermal damage to surrounding tissue | High → more collateral thermal damage |
| Precision | Extreme precision thanks to independent control of ablation and coagulation | Less precise: depth due to thermal diffusion |
| Security | Lower risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and scarring | Higher risk of hyperpigmentation, hypopigmentation or scarring, especially on darker skins |
| Ideal customers | Patients seeking overall rejuvenation without prolonged downtime | Patients requiring deep correction in a single treatment |

Prices vary according to the area treated, the depth of treatment and the desired objectives. As an indication, a treatment can start at around $1,500 for a targeted area. A personalized assessment during the consultation will enable us to draw up a precise plan and estimate.
See our pricing page for more details.
There are a number of contraindications, some of which are listed below.
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Active infections or skin lesions on the treatment area
- History of hypertrophic or keloid scars
- Recent isotretinoin treatments (Accutane)
- Severe inflammatory skin diseases
- Very dark phototypes (special precautions)
- Certain systemic diseases or photosensitizing medications
The interval depends on the depth of treatment:
- Light treatment: often only one treatment is needed, but when a second session is indicated, we recommend waiting around 3 months.
- Medium to deep treatment: Most of the time, a single treatment is sufficient.
The sensation varies according to the depth of treatment. For light treatments, an anaesthetic cream is generally sufficient for good comfort. For deeper treatments, a local anaesthetic or nerve block may be suggested. Patients often describe a sensation of intense heat or tingling during treatment, followed by a sunburn-like sensation for a few hours.
