BAD COLLAGEN, BAD!
Pig flesh biologically resembles human flesh. We have successfully been using it in the medical world for tendons, heart valves and more, which is why I chose pig flesh to demonstrate the effects of heat on human flesh. Once the flesh shrinks, it hardens and becomes crispy and brittle. We call it bacon. A fascinating video from TED explains more about how closely we resemble pigs and in fact how a diverse group of our products are actually made from pigs. Totally off today's subject, but still fascinating all the same. Our own flesh does the same thing when heat is applied to it or devices cause the cells to create its own heat in resistance to the frequencies. The collagen fibers shrink and fat melts from the heat produced with the assistance of lasers, radio frequency and other non-ablative (non-surgical) devices. In turn the body produces collagen, an inferior collagen, that resembles the same tissue as stretch marks. That's why the skin tends to look shinier after these tre...
