Getting older takes a toll on our skin. Once you enter your early to mid-20s, the production of collagen and elastin begins to slow down, these are the proteins responsible for keeping skin soft and supple. With less collagen and elastin being produced, wrinkles and fine lines begin to form. 

Cell turnover also decelerates with age, meaning your body will take longer to replace hurt or damaged skin cells. 

Signs of aging are normal and natural, but some people wish to not have them. Wishing and hoping for new skin may seem like a lofty dream, but it’s definitely a possibility. 

With help, your body can speed up the creation of new skin. Receiving the proper medical treatment to do so is like switching the skin-creating and building processes from automatic to manual. Rather than staying on the ever-slowing natural track, your body can be safely stimulated to begin making new collagen and elastin immediately. 

The quickest, and most effective way to generate new skin is to purposefully initiate your body’s own natural healing process. To best do this, Form Spa offers CO₂ laser resurfacing treatments.  

CO₂ lasers are used to vaporize small amounts of the top layer of your skin to encourage the body to produce fresh collagen and elastin which, in turn, produces more lively, pliable, and blemish-free skin. During the procedure, numbing cream is applied to the areas to be treated. 

For most, one procedure is enough to get rid of and treat sunspots (or age spots), uneven skin tone, dullness, textural irregularities, scarring, fine lines, and wrinkles on the face, neck, and chest. 

After treatment, your body will need time to heal. Patients may not see complete results until three weeks after a CO₂ procedure. Some scabbing and oozing will occur. However, the results will last. Your body simply needs time to do its job.  

Those who receive a CO₂ resurfacing treatment should avoid sunlight and situations where heavy sweating may occur for 4-6 weeks following treatment.
