The latest buzz in anti-ageing treatments is all about tweakments. These are subtle enhancements that give your skin a natural glow without making it look like you’ve had work done. Beauty expert Alice Hart-Davis dives into this trend, explaining how tweakments offer more noticeable results than a facial but stop short of full-on cosmetic surgery.
Tweakments include treatments like Botox, fillers, skin peels, intense pulsed light, laser treatments, and thread lifts. They’re either non-invasive or minimally invasive and usually deliver clear yet temporary results. The best part? When done correctly, they won’t make you look dramatically different.
Alice Hart-Davis has written a book called “The Tweakments Guide: Fresher Face” and launched a website to demystify these procedures. The site helps people understand how the treatments work and find the best practitioners around the country.
She’s been in the beauty journalism field for about 20 years, and back when she started, talking about these treatments was quite taboo. People were shocked at the idea of using injections to appear younger. However, times have changed, and the stigma around treatments like Botox and fillers has lessened.
In recent years, the number of available procedures has exploded. It used to be just Botox and collagen injections, but now options include laser facials, ultrasound skin tightening, microneedling, and injectable gels that promote cellular regeneration for months.
Interest in these non-surgical cosmetic procedures is on the rise. A recent survey showed that 43 percent of people are interested in trying them.
Initially, tweakments were seen mostly as anti-ageing solutions aimed at older individuals. Botox reduced frown lines, and fillers targeted nose-to-mouth lines. But now, these treatments are popular among all ages for various enhancements, from fuller lips and defined cheeks to balanced jawlines.
There are also newer treatments, like Profhilo, which boosts skin hydration, and ultrasound therapy that offers a non-surgical facelift with subtle results.
Younger generations are more open about these treatments, happily sharing their results on social media. Plus, the number of practitioners offering tweakments has increased. However, this surge comes with a lack of regulation, meaning many practitioners may have minimal training.
For those interested in trying tweakments, Alice’s website is a great resource to find qualified and experienced professionals.
