ACTION ITEMS
Please record yourself doing 20 seconds of the tongue bridge both from the front and side of your face so I can see it from both angles. This exercise can be found in the 21- Day Face HIIT Miracle 2.0 Day 2 - Neck
Please watch the Platysma Neck Release Tutorial found in the 21-Day Face HIIT Miracle 2.0 program at the very bottom in the Bonus Content. Then record yourself doing a few seconds of the Platysma Neck Release located in this same Bonus Content section.

I researched your Luna & Skin Light Therapy Mask. While it does have the correct red light wavelength it is a little on the low side with irradiance and fluency. It is also missing near Infrared which is really important for anti-aging benefits because it goes deeper into the skin to create changes. For example, near infrared at 830 nm has the most clinical evidence in skin rejuvenation studies. It has been proven to improve collagen remodeling, fibroblast activity, dermal repair, and healing.
Many of the landmark rejuvenation studies used633 (red light) + 830 nm (infrared light) together. This may be why you are not seeing much improvement even though you are consistent.
If you want to invest in a better option at some point in the future. The Omnilux mask specs are pretty great!
I researched your EMR Tek light and the specs on this are very good. I would recommend using this light 12-20 inches from your face for 5-10 minutes for 3-5 sessions a week. You were correct about the middle light not being recommended for your face but it did not say why. So I would continue to use this as the company recommends. You will likely see more benefits from this light over your Luna & Skin light therapy mask.
I would not use the Ashley Black Faceblaster. For the face, I do think there is more potential for more harm than good with this device.
You can continue to use your other skincare products and tools.

You may opt to incorporate the recommended items below
Continue to make your way through the 21-Day Face HIIT Program. Since I do not have access to the other courses and programs you use, I would recommend for you to pause all other facial exercises for now so we can regroup and pinpoint what we need to tweak for you to see progress.
You may choose to incorporate an at-home derma rolling 1x a week around your mouth. Just be sure not to use your tretinoin for a few days afterwards.

Intra Oral Mouth Massage
I have not been able to record anything myself for you yet but this tutorial will be a good starting point. Be sure not to tug on the skin. A light layer of oil on the outside of your face may be beneficial to prevent skin pulling.
amazon recommendations
This is a reliable derma roller that can be used once a week especially around the mouth to encourage collagen production and help products penetrate deeper. It is recommended to discontinue use of tretinoin for a few days after treatment. There is a helpful QR code on the product that will take you to an instruction video.
This will help keep the pad on while you move your neck around.
At-home microcurrent with proven results
You may choose to wear these for a few hours during the day instead of at night.
