The buzz in the beauty world right now revolves around tweakments – subtle enhancements that give your skin a healthy glow without looking overdone. According to beauty expert Alice Hart-Davis, tweakments cover procedures like Botox, fillers, skin peels, laser treatments, and more. These are cosmetic treatments that go beyond a regular facial but are far less invasive than surgery. You can expect temporary but noticeable results that maintain a natural look, provided you choose a skilled practitioner.
Alice has written a book called “The Tweakments Guide: Fresher Face” and has launched a website to educate people about these treatments, how they work, and to help them find reputable practitioners. She believes the more openly we talk about tweakments, the better people will understand what they involve and what results they can achieve.
Initially, tweakments were seen as drastic and over-the-top, but opinions have shifted over the past 20 years. What used to be limited to facelifts and basic Botox now includes a wide range of options like laser facials, microneedling, and long-lasting injectable moisturizers. Today, 43% of people are interested in trying non-surgical cosmetic procedures, according to a Mintel report.
Originally, tweakments targeted older people looking to reduce signs of aging, like frown lines and wrinkles. Now, people of all ages are using fillers to enhance their lips, cheeks, and jawlines. Treatments like Profhilo can hydrate the skin, and ultrasound therapy offers non-surgical facelifts with subtle results.
The younger generation is more open about these treatments, often sharing their experiences on social media. With the increasing number of practitioners available, it’s important to be cautious, as the field is not heavily regulated. Alice recommends starting with practitioners listed on her website for safe and effective treatments.
