Wrinkles, one of the first visible signs of aging, form as the collagen and elastin fibers that support our skin break down and wear out.

Collagen can decrease as much as 1% per year after we reach the age of 40.

Recent advances in treatment options have continued to improve, from dermabrasion and chemical peels to CO² and ERBIUM laser skin resurfacing. With dermabrasion, layers of skin are actually sanded away and in chemical peels, layers of skin are burned away with an acid solution. CO² and ERBIUM laser skin resurfacing have given the surgeon more control and made skin resurfacing safer and more predictable. However, these lasers exfoliate the skin, which requires bandages and a longer recovery period.
