The latest buzz in anti-aging treatments is all about “tweakments” – small cosmetic enhancements that brighten your skin without making you look overly done. Beauty expert Alice-Hart Davis sheds light on these procedures.
Tweakments, unlike cosmetic surgeries, are less invasive treatments like Botox, fillers, skin peels, lasers, thread lifts, and intense pulsed light. They offer noticeable but temporary improvements and are generally subtle, as long as you choose your doctor carefully.
Alice-Hart Davis has been discussing tweakments extensively, especially since she wrote a book titled “The Tweakments Guide: Fresher Face” and launched a website to educate people on these procedures. Her goal is to clarify what tweakments are and which ones might be suitable for individuals, featuring a list of top practitioners in the country.
Twenty years ago, when Davis began writing about cosmetic procedures, they were considered quite shocking. The idea of injecting substances to look younger was stigmatized, but times have changed. Nowadays, treatments like Botox and fillers are far more accepted.
Today, a variety of procedures are available, filling the gap between simple facials and full facelifts. The offerings now include laser facials, ultrasound skin tightening, microneedling, and injectable moisturizers that promote genuine skin regeneration for up to six months. A recent Mintel report revealed that 43% of people are interested in trying non-surgical cosmetic procedures.
Initially, tweakments focused on anti-aging for older adults, such as using Botox to reduce frown lines or fillers to smooth out nose-to-mouth lines. But now, they are widely used across different age groups. Young women use fillers to enhance lips and cheeks, while others opt for treatments to improve jawline definition or skin hydration.
There’s an increasing openness among younger patients to discuss their cosmetic treatments and share their results on social media. With more practitioners offering tweakments, finding a qualified professional is crucial in a largely unregulated space. Davis recommends starting with registered practitioners listed on her website.
