Tweakments are the latest buzz in anti-aging treatments, offering subtle enhancements that give your skin a natural glow without making you look overdone. According to beauty expert Alice Hart-Davis, these treatments, such as Botox, fillers, skin peels, and laser procedures, fall between a facial and full-on cosmetic surgery. They’re mostly non-invasive or minimally invasive, providing noticeable but temporary results. Choosing the right doctor is key to achieving a natural look.
Alice Hart-Davis has written a book called “The Tweakments Guide: Fresher Face” and launched a website, thetweakmentsguide.com, to help people understand these procedures and find top practitioners. She aims to demystify tweakments, encouraging open and honest discussions to help people make informed choices.
When Alice started covering cosmetic procedures 20 years ago, they were considered taboo. However, attitudes have evolved, and treatments like Botox and fillers are now more accepted. Over time, the variety of available procedures has expanded significantly, with new options like laser facials, microneedling, and injectable moisturizers that promote genuine skin regeneration.
Interest in tweakments is growing, as shown by a Mintel report that found 43% of people are curious about non-surgical cosmetic procedures. While originally targeting an older audience for anti-aging, these treatments are now popular among younger people too, for things like enhancing lips or defining jawlines.
Despite their growing popularity, the tweakments industry lacks strict regulation, meaning anyone seeking these treatments should be cautious. Alice recommends starting with practitioners listed on her website, as they meet a high standard of expertise.
