The buzz around the latest anti-ageing treatments is all about tweakments. These are subtle enhancements that give your skin a fresh glow without making you look overly “done.” Beauty expert Alice Hart-Davis explains that tweakments are minor cosmetic procedures with more significant results than a facial but far less drastic than surgery.
Tweakments include treatments like Botox, fillers, skin peels, intense pulsed light, laser, thread lifts, and more. Mostly non-invasive or minimally invasive, they offer clear but temporary results. They’re usually quite subtle, so you won’t end up with dramatic changes as long as you choose your doctor wisely.
People are talking more about tweakments, and Alice believes it’s partly because of her book, “The Tweakments Guide: Fresher Face,” and her website, thetweakmentsguide.com. She aims to clarify what these procedures are, how they work, and whether they might be right for you, also providing a register of top practitioners.
Alice, a beauty journalist, has been writing about cosmetic procedures for 20 years. Initially, these treatments were quite secretive and even controversial, but attitudes have changed, and the stigma around treatments like Botox and fillers has faded. Now, there’s a wide range of options available, from laser facials to ultrasound skin tightening and microneedling. Modern treatments even include injectable moisturiser gels that last for six months and promote genuine skin regeneration.
Interest in tweakments is growing. A Mintel report found that 43% of people surveyed were keen to try non-surgical cosmetic procedures. Initially seen as anti-ageing solutions, tweakments like Botox and fillers are now used by people of all ages for various enhancements, such as boosting lip shape and cheek definition or achieving a more balanced jawline.
Younger generations, unlike their parents, are open about these treatments and often share their results on social media. There’s also been a rise in the number of practitioners across the country offering tweakments. While this is positive, the lack of regulation means it’s essential to find qualified professionals. Alice recommends starting with practitioners listed on her website, people she trusts.
