Skin
TL;DR Just go in the sun in morning/evening
Consume 20-30 grams of collagen peptides daily (good to pair Viatmin C w/ peptides)
Others:
- Niacinamide
- Vitamin C
- Polyphenols and Antioxidants
- Omega-4 fatty acids
Therapies
1927 nm laser
- 1x every 6 months (or more)
- improves skin tone, texture, dyschromia, sun damage, fine lines
- reduces actinic keratoses and pigrmentation through accelerated epidermal turnover and renewal
1550 nm laser
- 1x every 6 months (or more)
- penetrades deeper into the mid-dermis
- creates controlled microthermal injury that stimulates fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin
- improvments in skin firmness, wrinkles, acne scars, overall structural integrity
Sofwave
- 1x every 6 months (or more)
- non-invasive ultrasound skin tightening system
- controlled energy into mid-dermis
- stimulates collagen and elastin production (without damaging surface)
- activates fibroblasts through precise thermal stimulation
- improves skin firmness, laxity, and fine lines (especially on face/neck)
Everesse
- 1x every 6 months (or more)
- monopolar radiofrequency device that delivers 6.78 MHz thermal energy
- precisely to both papillary and reticular dermis simultaneously
- trigger a dual-phase college response:
- immediate contraction of existing collagen fibers for visible lifting
- sustained fibroplast activation that drives collagen remodelling and regeneration over months
- Results in lifting, volumizing and tightening the face/neck/jawline with no downtime
- Continuous water cooling throughout treatment potects epidermal surface
First two address surface damage/structural integrity
Second two stimulate collagen via termal energy but through different mechanism (RF adds lifting/volumizing)

- Santal \& Vetiver
Showers
- Limit hot showers 5-10 minutes
- Moistures within 3 minutes of showering
Topicals
- Rabomicine - anti-aging - causes acne
- CeraVe - acne control cleanser, salicylic acid 2% - acne/blemish free (unnecessary imo)
- accutane 2x 40mg (unnecessary)
- No topicals really work anywhere close to lasers and physical stuff
- as you age, you lose firmness of the skin
- Bryan Johnson rec: Tixel - thermal mechanical ablasian w/ intense pulses of heat
- Lasers/RF having pros/cons compared to tixel Tretinoin 0.025-0.1%
Lotion
- https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/moisturizers-do-they-work
- Mix of moisture soaking, moisture, and moisture blocking agents
- Moisture soaks from the air and inner parts of skin
- Most contain water as first ingredient
- The grease blocks moisture from releasing from skin
