The latest buzz in anti-ageing treatments revolves around “tweakments” – subtle enhancements that give your skin a fresh glow without making it obvious you’ve had work done. According to beauty expert Alice Hart-Davis, these tweakments include procedures like Botox, fillers, skin peels, intense pulsed light, lasers, and thread lifts.
These procedures are either non-invasive or minimally invasive, offering clear but temporary results. The changes are usually quite subtle, so as long as you choose a skilled doctor, you won’t end up looking over-processed.
Alice Hart-Davis, who has written a book called “The Tweakments Guide: Fresher Face,” explains that she launched a corresponding website to clarify what these procedures entail, how they work, and to help people decide if they’re a good fit for them. The site also features a list of reputable tweakment practitioners across the country.
When Alice first started writing about these procedures 20 years ago, they were very secretive, and the idea of injecting substances like Botox into your face was shocking to many. However, over time, attitudes have changed, and the stigma has faded. Back then, the options were limited to collagen injections and Botox. Today, there are many more choices, such as laser facials, ultrasound skin tightening, microneedling, and even injectable moisturizing gels that promote genuine cellular regeneration in the skin.
According to a Mintel report, 43 percent of people surveyed expressed interest in trying a non-surgical cosmetic procedure. Initially viewed as anti-ageing measures for an older audience, tweakments like Botox and fillers are now popular among people of all ages. Fillers can enhance lip shape and cheek definition for younger women and create a balanced jawline for both men and women. Other treatments, such as Profhilo for skin hydration and ultrasound therapy for a non-surgical facelift, are also gaining attention.
Younger patients today are more open about these procedures than past generations, often sharing their results on social media. There are more practitioners offering these treatments now, but the lack of regulation is concerning. Many providers have minimal training and experience, making it crucial to choose a qualified practitioner. Hart-Davis recommends starting with the ones listed on her website.
