In this brief monologue, Bryan Johnson explains his routine "laser day," where he uses heat‑based laser treatment to stimulate collagen and elastin production, aiming to tighten skin laxity that resulted from losing about 60 pounds. He frames the procedure as part of a broader personal narrative of correcting past mistakes, emphasizing the effort required to fix physical issues that arise from earlier lifestyle choices.

Today's laser day, which is always an exciting day. Primarily, heat is a mechanism to stimulate collagen growth and increased elastin, or skin firmness. At my heaviest, I was 60 pounds more than I am now. So in losing all this weight, I have some skin laxity. So tightening up the extra skin from being heavier. It's a lot of work to fix stuff like that, so better not to do it than have to fix it. I like the story of my life, though, fixing everything I did wrong.
