Im looking for a collagen supplement but Dermacare is too expensive

Absolute Collagen, Revive Collagen, Ingenious Collagen and Gold Collagen are all more affordable and use decent types/ sources of collagen and have reasonable data to support their efficacy, so have a look at those.

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.

What are the top 3 collagen supplements to date and is it best to take in a powder, tablet or drink?

You need 8,000=10,000mg of hydrolysed collagen per day to make a difference, and the brand I’m keen on (because of the studies they have done, and because they have two patented molecules, one for collagen, one for hyaluronic acid, that work synergistically in the formula) is Totally Derma. You can find more on why I like this brand here.

If you are on a budget – Absolute Collagen, Revive Collagen, Ingenious Collagen and Gold Collagen are all more affordable than Totally Derma, use decent types/ sources of collagen and have reasonable data to support their efficacy, so have a look at those too.

The tweak of the week on pluryal biostimulators- I’m wanting to move towards getting this treatment but don’t know who to contact- any advice please

Hello, we filmed this tweakment with Dr Bob Khanna who leads the DrBK Clinic in Reading. To learn more about this tweakment and to find contact details – you can go on his website here. 

Can I be on your waiting list, to be a Guinea pig for Facial treatments. I am 59 years old.

Hello! It is best to keep an eye out on our Instagram  – @alicehartdavis and @thetweakmentsguide  –  as we normally advertise any models needed on our Stories.

I wonder what your thoughts are on Neofound please?

Hi, it looks like a new kind of mesotherapy product ie an injectable for improving the condition of the skin, which is different to injectable moisturiser treatments. I haven’t seen any data about how well it works and how effective it is.

I’m 66yrs old, I have never really had a good skincare regime, and enjoyed the sun with no SPF creams on various occasions. However I am now committed to a good skin care regime and 50spf cream. I have recently had toxin which is fab and am now considering facial filler to my mid face, am I too old?

Hello, can I first say it’s brilliant that you have committed to a good skincare range and SPF, it will make all the difference to your skin going forward, and please know that you are NEVER too old to benefit from great skincare, advanced facials and tweakments, and don’t let anyone tell you that you are! If you like and trust the practitioner who is doing your toxin, ask them what they would suggest by way of fillers.

Should I allow an aesthetician to inject hyaluronic gel filler to a previously bruised area?

Nnngh, if your aesthetician has any sense I hope they won’t be injecting anything into a bruise!

What do you think of NAD supplements. If you do rate them which would your recommend? Thank you.

Hi, I’m really interested in these – I take Nuchido Time+ capsules (which I buy, like a normal person!)

I have really puffy eye bags that I want removed/tightened . No products work and they are very aging and I look so tired.can you recommend someone . I am innNirth London

Sounds like you might benefit most from a lower eye lift – you can search ‘oculoplastic surgeon’ on the Tweakments Guide register, you will find a bunch of brilliant eye surgeons – others who aren’t on that list but should be include Mr Naresh Joshi and Mr Daniel Ezra.

What are your thoughts on the Skin Laundry and in particular their Ultra Duo facial? Thanks

I haven’t tried the Ultra Duo but Skin Laundry is a great brand and they use great devices and train their aestheticians well, so I’d say it’s well worth a try.

Electrolysis vs laser hair removal? Where are the best places to have electrolysis done?

Unless you really want to have electrolysis, I’d go for laser hair removal. If you’re set on electrolysis, find an expert via the British Institue and Association of Electrolysis Professionals 

I have recently had profhilo in my neck and I feel that my jowl area looks better could this be because if the treatment?

Possibly, in that the Profhilo will have had a skin-conditioning effect, smoothing and hydrating the skin where it was injected, but it is unlikely to have had any significant tightening effect – but whatever, if the whole area is looking better, that’s great!

Which supplements work for crepey dry skin?

I find good quality omega-3 oils, liposomal vitamin C and hydrolysed collagen all help my skin quality, which is why I’ve added them to the TTG shop.
