If you feel like a dull or damaged skin tone is holding you back, you’re not alone. There are many skin conditions that can cause an aged or unhealthy complexion, often diminishing self-confidence for those who exhibit wrinkles, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, or other common skin concerns. Rejuvenating your skin with the advanced Profile Contour™ laser is one approach that can vastly improve the tone and texture of your skin with treatment optimized to your unique concerns. Acting similarly to a laser-based “peel,” the Profile Contour™ laser is designed to remove the surface skin layers and stimulate the growth of younger-looking skin, thereby providing a softer, firmer, and more radiant complexion.

What Concerns Can Be Treated with the Profile Contour™ Laser?
The Profile Contour™ laser can remove thin layers of the damaged superficial skin, making room for the growth of newer, healthier skin cells. This “peeling” effect can often diminish the appearance of several skin conditions, including:
- Wrinkles
- Acne scars
- Epidermal nevi
- Solar lentigines
- Actinic keratoses
- Hypertrophic scars
- Surgical scars
Using two advanced lasers, the Contour™ system is able to vary the depth of your treatment according to the severity of your concerns. This provides a completely personalized experience uniquely tailored to your individual needs and skin type.
Is Laser Skin Resurfacing Right for Me?
Laser skin resurfacing is considered safe for all skin types, but our team will review your unique concerns and goals to determine the best approach for your needs. Treatment can greatly benefit patients who have wrinkles, pigmented lesions, or a rough skin texture, but who would rather not undergo a surgical procedure. The most commonly treated areas include the face, neck, chest, and hands. Consulting with our board-certified plastic surgeon and skincare team can help determine whether you’re a good candidate for the Profile Contour™ laser.
How is the Laser Skin Resurfacing Procedure Performed?
Laser skin resurfacing with the Profile Contour™ laser is an in-office treatment at our Huntsville practice. Prior to treatment, a local anesthetic is applied to the face in order to improve the comfort of the experience. Your eyes will be protected with safety goggles or shields. During your session, the computer-guided Profile Contour™ laser will automatically scan the planned treatment areas and deliver precise beams to targeted planes of the face and neck. You may hear a popping noise during this time, and patients often describe the sensation as a mild “snap” or sunburn. The laser then gently removes the damaged layers of the skin, making room for the growth of new skin cells.
How Much Does Laser Skin Resurfacing Cost?
The cost of laser skin resurfacing with the Profile Contour™ laser varies according to each patient’s concerns and goals for the outcome. The number of treatment sessions and the extent of one’s skincare needs may also affect the total price. In Huntsville, the cost varies depending on the details of your treatment plan. Fortunately, the Profile Contour™ laser can transform your skin for less than the costs of cosmetic surgery, offering individuals in Huntsville a more affordable method of treatment. While we cannot provide an accurate cost estimate without evaluating your needs in person, you can trust that our team will provide you with a personalized quote during your consultation. Many patients opt for plastic surgery financing through CareCredit® or Prosper® Healthcare Lending, which both offer qualified individuals low- to no-interest payment plans to reduce the costs of treatment. Please call our office if you have any other questions about the cost of laser skin resurfacing or our other facial procedures.
