And what that does is that the energy of that red light gets taken up by your skin cells and it causes the mitochondria to become energized to produce more ATP.

If you have access to a dermatologist or a plastic surgeon or a med spa, then you may want to consider some light chemical peels or there are radio frequency kind of deep heating skin treatments that have no downtime to them.

And right now, for non-invasive skin tightening, the gold standard is radiofrequency microneedling. In my office, we use Morpheus 8. It's a very popular RF microneedling, radiofrequency microneedling device. And the way it basically works, you know, microneedling is something that's great for your skin.

If, let's say, you're 30s, you're 40s, you want to microneedle your neck and you go to a practitioner to do that, that's great. That will help create collagen. Radio frequency microneedling is microneedling, but those needles that go into the skin don't just create the trauma that helps the collagen to rebuild, but it also creates deep heating of that skin.

And when you heat the skin to a certain temperature, essentially it's 42 degrees Celsius on the surface, that will create contraction of that collagen and it creates a tightening of the skin, the way I describe it, it's like a shrinking of the skin essentially. And right now, that's the gold standard. There are other ways that you can create tightening.
