Everyone’s buzzing about the latest anti-ageing treatments known as tweakments. These are subtle procedures that enhance your skin’s glow without making you look like you’ve had work done. Beauty expert Alice Hart-Davis is here to break it down for us.
If you feel like you’re hearing more about tweakments lately, you’re not wrong. They’re a kind of cosmetic medical procedure that offers more significant results than a facial but aren’t as intense as cosmetic surgery. Tweakments include things like Botox, fillers, chemical peels, laser treatments, and thread lifts.
Most of these treatments are non-invasive or minimally invasive, and they usually provide clear but temporary results. They’re pretty subtle, too, so you won’t look drastically different as long as you choose your doctor wisely.
Alice has written a book called “The Tweakments Guide: Fresher Face,” and she also launched a website, thetweakmentsguide.com, to explain these procedures. The site also helps you figure out if these treatments are right for you and includes a list of top tweakment practitioners around the country.
In the past, these procedures were quite secretive. People were shocked at the idea of getting toxins injected into their faces just to look younger. But over time, attitudes have shifted, and the stigma around treatments like Botox and fillers has lessened.
Nowadays, there are more options than ever before. Twenty years ago, treatments between regular facials and surgical facelifts were limited to collagen injections and Botox. But now, we have laser facials, ultrasound skin tightening, microneedling, and even injectable moisturizers that last six months and promote genuine skin regeneration.
More people than ever are curious about these treatments. A recent report found that 43% of people are interested in trying a non-surgical cosmetic procedure.
Initially, tweakments were seen as anti-ageing measures aimed at older adults. But now they’re used to enhance faces of all ages, whether it’s boosting lip shape for young women or defining jawlines for men and women. Treatments like Profhilo can improve skin hydration, and ultrasound therapy offers a non-surgical facelift with subtle yet effective results.
Younger people today are more open about these treatments than previous generations. They’re happy to share their results on social media. Also, there are more practitioners offering tweakments across the country. However, the lack of regulation in this field means it’s crucial to find a well-trained and experienced practitioner.
