Pasta is linked to depression?

Chicago Laser Skin Tightening
There are several non-invasive techniques that can tighten the skin. We will not be talking about laser resurfacing here. While some devices do not deliver the results of a surgical lifting procedure, they can produce mild to modest tightening by sending heat deep into the skin. This is called laser skin tightening. Laser skin tightening is a non-surgical, minimally invasive process that uses radiofrequency and infrared light source to tighten skin by heating the collagen under the skin’s surface, causing the skin to contract or tighten. Facial skin tightening is usually noticeable immediately after the treatment, and there is no downtime, making this a popular procedure. Additional skin tightening occurs over the next few months, but optimal results usually require at least two or three treatments about a month apart. This procedure is appropriate for men and women of all skin tones and skin types who wish to obtain tightening results without invasive surgery procedure with extensive recovery times. Successful laser skin tightening candidates will typically experience permanent results as the collagen under their skin is regenerated, producing a more youthful appearance.
