Is ultracel 2 worth doing? I’m confused as I’ve seen it’s hifu with ultrasound but then at another clinic seen it’s with radio frequency? Are they the same thing, are they safe and do they work and worth the money?

ULTRAcel is a non-surgical skin-tightening treatment that uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to treat concerns including a sagging brow, forehead wrinkles and nasolabial folds.

The difference between radiofrequency and HIFU is that radiofrequency is a type of energy derived from radio waves whereas HIFU is a type of treatment that uses ultrasound waves.

We have an article all about ultrasound treatments which you can read here. 

Whilst any treatment has their risks, it is always important to find an experienced practitioner who can minimise that risk factor. Find a good practitioner in your area who can properly discuss your concerns and offer further advice.

Hi I have deep lines on my chest which I absolutely hate. What do you recommend to get rid of them as much as possible?

Hello! TTG Content Coordinator Si Yau here. There are many tweakments available to tackle lines and wrinkles available. It is extremely important that you find an excellent practitioner who can properly assess your concerns and offer further advice. Deeper and more pronounced wrinkles and folds are challenging to treat but here are a few tweakments options:

Injectables – Injectable treatments that can address lines and wrinkles include toxins and dermal fillers, PRP and collagen stimulators. toxins works by inhibiting the function of the muscles which cause dynamic wrinkles in areas such as the forehead and around the eyes, whereas fillers work to replace lost volume and structure at deeper levels of the skin. Some injectables, such as PRP and collagen stimulators, as well as products like Profhilo, work by stimulating the body’s own repair mechanisms and rejuvenate the skin from within.

Energy based devices – Wrinkles are also the main target of many energy-based devices such as HIFU/ultrasound, laser resurfacing, radiofrequecy. While all of these technologies work in different ways the principle is the same, using heat/energy to create a wound healing response in the skin which encourages the production of new collagen. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) can also be used to treat fine wrinkles.

Microneedling/collagen induction therapy – Microneedling involves the use of tiny needles to make minute holes in the skin. This is usually done using a pen or roller device. It is also known as “collagen induction therapy” (CIT) because it stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. It is minimally-invasive and can improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and scars.

Which treatment is best for hyperpigmentation due to sun damage? IPL or chemical peel? I live in Barbados and that’s all that’s available here. Thanks!!

Hi, I’d find the most experienced dermatologist or other cosmetic physician on the island and ask for their advice – and also plan carefully how, if you go ahead with treatment, you are going to protect your treated skin from the sun. In the UK, it’s best to do these things in the winter; you will have to commit to buckets of SPF 50 and a hat afterwards to minimise further pigmentation developing.

Dear Alice, thanks again for an always fantastic information guide. I finally made of my mind and decided to have toxin, got an appointment and went to the consultation. It’s a great but.. a little voice inside is still a little nervous, especially since most of my deeper set wrinkles are over and above my eyebrows. I’m worried that either my eye lid will “fall” or look too artificial lifted.. any good advice ? And of course any good advice for first time toxin? Do and don’t? Thanks 🙏

Hi, that’s completely understandable to be anxious ahead of trying any tweakment. Have you discussed these particular concerns with your practitioner? If you have, I hope they would have reassured you that they have enough skill and experience to place the toxin in just the right places so that it will soften your wrinkles without wiping them out, and without making your brows drop. Also, first time, it’s good idea to ask for a really light dose, just enough to give you an idea of what the treatment can do. It won’t last as long as a regular dose, but if for any reason you don’t like the results, then you aren’t stuck with it for so long. See if the information on this section about wrinkle-relaxing toxins helps.
