Give these a rating out of 10. More PS8s. 10 out of 10 in the right hands.
Even better. In the wrong hands, 2 out of 10. Collagen.
Collagen drinks and supplements. I haven't really found the research that really backs it up properly. I'm not against it, but I cannot provide it in the clinic because I don't 100% believe in it just yet.
2 out of 10. LED light therapy. Any daylight therapy has a place.
I would say 5 out of 10, but don't expect miracles with it. Mouth taping. Mouth taping is a joke.
I don't think you need it. Go and see your dentist if you have any problems. Ice baths.
Ice baths. You can get fat reduction with ice baths. You can close up the pores a little bit with ice baths.
Again, understand its limitations. It's not going to solve all your problems. You know, 5 out of 10, 4 out of 10.
Pillow face. Pillow face. When you've gone OTT with your fillers, 0 out of 10.
Please don't do that guys. Duck lips. Duck lips.
Oh my goodness. It's like minus 100 out of 10. Poorly done.
Wrong practitioner. Someone who's not qualified has done it for you. And poor products or probably really cheap product use as well.
So definitely minus 100. Ice gloves. Ice gloves.
Absolutely lovely. If you're having a facial, we'll just do a little bit of de-puffing, reducing those pores, shrinking them a little bit. But again, it's very short lived.
So I'll give it 2 out of 10. So I'll give it 2 out of 10. So I'll give it 2 out of 10.
So I'll give it 2 out of 10. So I'll give it 2 out of 10. So I'll give it 2 out of 10.
So I'll give it 2 out of 10. So I'll give it 2 out of 10. So I'll give it 2 out of 10.
So I'll give it 2 out of 10.
