Ask Alice

I know that Alice has tried Profound Laser- what were her experiences with it? Would she recommend it over Morpheus 8?

Hello, Alice had great results with Profound last year – there’s a picture in this article showing the difference it made. She hasn’t had Morpheus8, but as both of these are brands of radiofrequency microneedling you will get similar results. We think when it comes down to these energy-based devices, it’s much more about practitioner technique and experience rather than the specific device.

Zoom consultation with Alice?

Hello! Due to Alice’s schedule, we no longer offer Zoom consultations with her. However, you can still reach out to Alice through our “Ask Alice” feature for any queries you may have!

Additionally, you’ll find a wealth of information on our website, much of which has been authored or reviewed by Alice herself.

Please can you send me the fact sheet on collagen supplements. There’s so many to choose from and I want to pick the right one. PDF on your website does not work. Many thanks

Hi, you can find Alice’s collagen factsheet here.

In terms of finding a collagen that works for you – we like the following brands: Absolute Collagen, Revive Collagen, Ingenious Collagen and Gold Collagen these use decent types/ sources of collagen, have reasonable data to support their efficacy and are quite affordable. Alice also uses Totally Derma which is pricer than the brands mentioned above.

You need 8,000=10,000mg of hydrolysed collagen per day to make a difference so take that into consideration when looking for a collagen supplement!

Hello. I live in Kent. Read your article and am interested in having the same. I don’t know what to search for?

Hello, apologies – please can you let us know which article you are referring to?

What retinol is effective but not too expensive?

Hello, you can find Alice’s favourite retinol products here.

Do polynucleotides help with pigmentation?

Hello, TTG Content Coordinator Si Yau here, yes polynucleotides are great to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and uneven skin tone! You can find out more about polynucleotides here.

What are you thoughts on Viscoderm please.

This is a good HA-based injectable moisturiser if your face is showing the sort of lines that look etched into the skin on your forehead, or around your eyes or mouth. It has a nice, ‘stretchy’ consistency in the skin and is manufactured by IBSA Derma – the people behind Profhilo, so you can be sure of its safety and efficacy.

Hi there – please can you let me know how long I need to wait to have a little bit of check filler after an illumi facial? Thanks

Hi, TTG content coordinator Si Yau here answering on behalf of Alice –

After an IllumiFacial treatment, it is generally recommended to wait at least two weeks before having any filler in the treated area. This waiting period allows the skin to fully recover from the IllumiFacial and reduces the risk of complications or interference with the results.

However, individual recommendations may vary based on factors such as the specific products used and the condition of your skin. We’d recommend you consult with your practitioner who performed the IllumiFacial for their aftercare advice.

Do I need to worry about the light affecting my eyes with Dermalux LED treatments? Can you recommend good goggles or are salon ones ok?

Hi, TTG content coordinator Si Yau here answering on Alice’s behalf. It is good practice to protect your eyes during any light-based treatments. Many salons and clinics, provide protective goggles specifically designed for use during LED treatments. These goggles are designed to block out any potentially harmful light while allowing you to keep your eyes open.

If you have purchased the device, it should have come with goggles however, there are many goggles available online designed for LED protection.

Is Morpheus 8 more effective than Ultherapy for tightening face and neck?

Morpheus8 and Ultherapy are both tweakments designed to address skin tightening. However, they use different technologies and approaches.

Morpheus8 is a brand of radiofrequency microneedling and uses a combination of microneedling and radiofrequency (RF) energy vs Ultherapy which is a brand of HIFU and uses  focused ultrasound energy.

Additionally, factors such as downtime, recovery, and the number of sessions required may vary between the two,

The effectiveness of Morpheus8 vs. Ultherapy can depend on individual factors, including skin condition, specific concerns, and your own preferences. We’d recommend that you talk to your practitioner who can properly assess your concerns and suggest the device that is most suitable.

 

How do I get a straight jawline instead of those annoying little pouches please?

Hi TTG content coordinator Si Yau here answering on Alice’s behalf – are you referring to jowls? If so, there a few tweakments available that can help such as:

Injectable moisture treatment
Focussed ultrasound treatment
Radiofrequency treatment

You can find out more information on our jowls page which has a video, FAQs and Alice’s e-book!

Hi, very informative article, but just wanted to know the difference between the Neogen Evo model versus PSR, do they essentially do the same thing? Should outcomes last for the same period of time?

Hi, TTG content coordinator Si Yau answering on Alice’s behalf.

There are three NeoGen Plasma machines:

  • NeoGen SPA – Safely and effectively treats all skin tones by performing multiple treatments at a lower energy level. It is ideal for those wanting to experience significant improvements in skin tone, texture, and appearance of wrinkles, with very little downtime.
  • NeoGen EVO – Can treat the whole body with a broad range of energy levels to tailor toindividual needs. EVO targets both aesthetic and dermatological conditions such as acne scarring, wrinkles, pigmented lesions and viral papillomata.
  • NeoGen PSR – Allows practitioners to deliver the machine’s full energy range with functionality for deeper penetration into the skin. This is the best option for severe concerns and provides transformative results.

You can find out more on our NeoGen page here

Can you recommend any bunion surgeons?

The Tweakments Guide is all about non-surgical work, so I have very few cosmetic surgeons listed. Take a look at the facebook page of Karen Perrett aka Surgeon Sourceress, these may be helpful.
