Absolutely fantastic video! I love Alice and boy does she look great! As someone in my 60s who is looking for skin tightening it was really interesting to hear about the different modalities. I think the main problem is finding a really good practitioner who will know what will be the most helpful treatments to achieve the results you want. How do you know who’s good and who isn’t? It’s so easy for the unscrupulous, or even someone who is just not that talented at it, to play on our insecurities about the way we look. I want someone who will be really honest and not try and get £1000s of pounds out of me just because they can! Thank you Clare for a really helpful video. ❤
She really does look fantastic! And I could not agree more with you. It all comes down to the practitioner and it's not always easy to find a good one near you. So glad you enjoyed the conversation ❤️
I'm almost like the American version of Alice lol. I'm 40 and have been doing 10 years of tweakments to my face and body. I've done almost everything (including 3 fat transfers) except a facelift. I'm just chasing one thing after another, playing a game of whack-a-mole. When a round of treatments ends, it's time to start all over again. It's an unhealthy hobby and obsession. CoolPeel, neuromodulators, and fillers are my #1 picks. Sculptra and PRF injections have always been the biggest disappointments. Quite literally money pits. It takes many syringes to get a tiny result. RF micro needling for the face is a huge no-no. Expensive skincare has also been a waste. I'd rather go back to drugstore brands and focus on fitness and good sleep. Expensive lessons learned.

I completely agree with you. So much time, effort, and money have been wasted, and it feels like swimming against the current. At this point, it’s clear that aging will happen no matter what we do or how much we spend. Even the wealthiest people, with access to the best technology and resources, are still aging. I believe that if there’s ever going to be a real solution to reverse or stop aging, it will come from within us-something in our DNA or our cells. It’s an internal process, not something we can simply buy or control externally.
Thank you Claire. Fascinating interview with Alice, who looks wonderful. I'm going to save it and re-watch, taking notes this time! For anyone considering IPL I had 4 sessions on my cheeks and chin for telangiectasia earlier this year. Results are fabulous; I no longer need to use foundation and concealer to cover the redness, which has 90% gone. A bonus side effect is skin rejuvenation. I use spf50 every single day and G&G A game 10 retinal three times a week, but I now have smooth 'glass' skin that reflects the light. Just got to pluck up the courage to have fully ablative C02 laser for mouth lines now!
So glad you found this helpful. I hear so many good things about IPL. I would definitely consider it for the pigmentation on my chest. Great to hear your experience.
@@thehonestchannel I'm thinking of having IPL on my chest too in time. My mouth is the priority but I'd love to get rid of the chest pigmentation. I hope you have it and will be interested to hear about your results.
Fascinating video. I'm 60 and a big fan of Sculptra and started getting it around 55. I have a similar face shape to Alice and it has definitely helped with gauntness in my lower face and temples. Thank you xx
I had fillers, botox, lasers, bbl from the age of 37-49. At 49, I had a deep plane facelift 4 months ago. I love it!!! After 50, you need to be a billionare if you insist on surgery-free tweaks. It was getting very expensive and I was never 100% happy after 46… the facelift is a game changer! I feel relieved that I don’t have to go to treatments- now I just use SPF and lipstick❤
A good practitioner is the best take away. Look at many before and afters and don't be afraid to ask how long and how many treatments they have done and where were they trained Is the equipment up to date is another concern. Also what can be done if anything should go wrong. Be careful with LED and can cause hyperpigmentation in some skin types. Microcurrent is wonderful in my experience.
Great interview. But I am overwhelmed. I guess I will need to buy her book. I am 73 I have done very little to my face except for sun screen for the last 30 years which combined with a love for turtle neck sweaters, I look fine as in I look like myself when I look in the mirror, but I am not against doing more.
Sculptra really didnt do anything I’m happy that she is satisfied with the filler. I did Volumna in Malaysia by a dermatologist and it did wonders . Volumna is supposed to last 2 years. So far it will be a year in February and I’m really happy
Injecting platysma bands is risky, I had issues swallowing. For a could have days. And I believe it made my chest sag. Will never do that again. Botox can deactivate muscles long term. Think about your muscle after a cast has been worn. When you're young, you regain strength. When you're older, not as much. And the falling brows of older women is evident. Let's see these girls faces who started at 20 when they're 50....
Great video 😊..honestly I found sculptra and radiesse has made a difference for me ...although I wasted my money on ultherapy.. and the energy cannot be control . So you have a good chance of losing fat . I think once you reach and a certain age. Facelift is a better choice. If you can afford it. And good skin care helps. I feel its difficult to find a good cosmetic profession who can you good advice on what is best for you I'm cosmetic treatment.. I have tried the lyma laser and it has helped.. I find it helps more with pain ..I used it for swelling ..and pain for my leg and it helped alot ..
I tell you whats good for lip lines .... manual sanding. A surgeon used it during a face lift and said it gives good, precise results. When I have a week off I will give it a go. Will leave a scab that heals.
How you cleanse is so important for dry skin. I covered it last week and my full skincare routine is linked in the description th-cam.com/video/IF0LE7nusa8/w-d-xo.html
As for interviewing someone of colour you have for example Natural Injector - Emily Dowe, PA-C. (I saw that question brought up in the comments). I think people are rightly afraid of doing laser on Fitzpatrick 4 to 6, because there have been very negative results with some lasers. I'm not an expert but I think there are newer lasers that don't cause traumatic results on Fitz 4 - 6. I don't know what they are called though. (I'm too afraid of facial fat loss to ever consider a laser, so I tend to not look too closely at them).
I wish that there would be more warnings about blindness and necrosis with fillers. I bet a lot of people that have fillers are not aware of that risk. From what I have seen from customer reviews, all heating devices are very hit and miss. The failure rate for heating devices is too high for my liking. It's good that there is a lot of info about the fat loss from heating devices though. Thanks for the interesting interview.
I've done a fair bit on the channel about the risks with fillers and the pros and cons. The fact that in the UK non-medical professionals can inject filler is mind blowing to me.
@@thehonestchannel Yes, and thanks for informing us about that. 🙂 Some other channels don't say anything though. Oh, that's not good. Since 2021 in Sweden you have to be a registered doctor, nurse or dentist to even inject Botox. That law will probably be all over Europe eventually.
Just clarifying as I am similar to you in wanting to use a device the most minimal amount for (still) the desire effect. I have started using the Nira pro. You mentioned using at 50% which you said is every other day. If they suggest using it 2x a day wouldn’t it be use of 1x a day for use at 50%? If your calculation is correct I may drop mine use a day to every other if that is considered 50%.
Hi. I discuss frequency with Nira founder David Bean around 24mins into this video th-cam.com/video/wEcKhaql2KQ/w-d-xo.html but, yes, either using once a day or twice every other day. I actually only use it once every other day but that's just a personal preference. I think we need to find a frequency we can handle long-term and that gives us results. For some folks that might be twice daily but I like to play these things by ear. Hope this helps!
Dr Darren McKeown recently spoke about IPL on my channel and said it's hugely underrated for skin rejuvenation. He thinks it's great. I will aim to do a dedicated video on it.
I offer MN and RF separately so I can control each. Together with micro peels, mesotherapy and good consistent skincare, you cam reverse age more reasonably
I had radiofrequency on my face and neck 7 years ago. My face recovered fine but my neck was ruined by fat loss. I regret this treatment! Effect were contemporary but the damage is I guess permanent.
I'm a scaredy cat and haven't had many tweakments at all but I've linked to Alice's website and you can use the search tool there to see if she's covered it.
Do you have any videos on Sofwave? Apparently it helps with tightening and lifting (regenerates collagen and elastin) without melting fat, but I'm still unsure about it. It only goes to a depth of 1.5 mm which is apparently in the dermis and not the fat layer. But I keep wondering: if everyone has different anatomy, isn't it possible that for some people 1.5 mm will be in the fat layer? Wondering if anyone has investigated further. Thank you!
I love the way we’re the reason she tried them all out like I couldn’t find people who have done it. She got all those treatments done probably for free and she looks great, but it was for our benefit.. typical 2024 logic It’s a beautiful piece with a lot of great information. I just hate the way it was framed like it was for us when most of us would never be able to afford all those procedures. Most of us probably wouldn’t even be able to afford one 😂😂😂
Very interesting. Peaches Skincare in the US is holistic skincare and the owner is very interesting about other options all On utube. Love yr channel btw.
I don' t want to be mean, just honest, by saying that when i saw your guest, i said to myself she looks 60 years old, but probably she is 70, after all those procedures beeing done. When she shared her age, i was a little bit dissapointed and now i am covinced that when u pass the age of 60, no procedure is going to last or be effective and there are only 2 options : either u get used to the idea of looking your age, either you go to the surgeon for a full facelift and neck lift, if your state of health is good enough to allow the surgery.
RF micro needling wrecked my face after just one treatment. Aged 5 yrs in one. It melted fat and left me looking so much worse. Glad I had a busy schedule and noticed it before I could get to the second or third treatment because I would have been a tragic mess.
So sorry to hear this. I've had quite a few viewers report similar experiences. It's troubling.
Yup a lot of cosmetic nurses and aestheticians don’t want to tell you that certain machines and procedures that use heat can cause facial fat loss.
I enjoyed this interview immensely, what a breath of fresh air she is! Thanks for this and I hope we see Alice again in 6 months or so! 😉♥️
I'd love to have her back on the channel!

Why do you say no to RF Miconeedling?
Your best interview yet Claire. Love Alice and the honesty of this channel.
Thank you! I really enjoyed talking to Alice - she's such a treasure trove of knowledge!
Red light actually will lift and tighten the skin over time with regular use. That's my experience.
I hope so! I spent a lot of money on it... 🤔
@@calista1280 An at home device is best - it's a little and often thing.

You need to have lots of $ to get a facelift too. The majority of people do not have that option.

She really was!
this is remarkable work clare !

whats the device antiage radiofrequency with microcurrent ? downt found it

Hi Sarah. I've included details of the doctors interviewed in the description.
To be honest, you both look lovely,the skin luminosity is fabulous,but you do look your ages. In the end gravity takes its natural toll.
