The newest anti-aging treatments gaining attention are tweakments. These are subtle enhancements that give your skin a fresh appearance without making it obvious you’ve had work done. Beauty expert Alice Hart-Davis explains that tweakments include procedures like Botox, fillers, skin peels, intense pulsed light, laser treatments, and thread lifts. These treatments are non-invasive or minimally invasive, offering noticeable but temporary results, and they’re designed to be subtle, especially if you choose a skilled practitioner.
Alice Hart-Davis has written a book called The Tweakments Guide: Fresher Face, and she’s launched a website, thetweakmentsguide.com, to provide detailed information about these procedures. The site helps people understand what tweakments are, how they work, and decide if they are right for them. There’s also a register of top practitioners nationwide. Alice emphasizes the importance of discussing these treatments openly so people can make informed choices.
Twenty years ago, when Alice first began writing about cosmetic procedures, they were kept under wraps and often shocked people. However, attitudes have shifted, and now treatments like Botox and fillers are much more accepted. Nowadays, there are many more options available, ranging from laser facials to ultrasound skin tightening, microneedling, and injectable moisturizers that rejuvenate the skin for months.
Interest in non-surgical cosmetic procedures has grown significantly. A Mintel report last year found that 43% of people surveyed were interested in trying such treatments. Initially, tweakments were seen mainly as anti-aging measures aimed at older adults. Now, they’re used to enhance features in people of all ages, like lips and cheek definition for younger women or jawline improvement for men and women alike. Treatments like Profhilo can boost skin hydration while ultrasound therapy offers a non-surgical facelift.
Younger people today are more open about discussing and sharing their tweakment results, especially on social media. At the same time, there’s been an increase in the number of practitioners offering these services across the country. This sounds positive, but the lack of regulation in the tweakments industry means many practitioners have inadequate training and experience. Alice suggests starting with registered practitioners on her website as they are trustworthy and experienced.
