Which tweakments -- from high-tech facials to lasers, Botox, injectable fillers, and thread lifts -- can help with which particular concerns, and how well they work.

It explains the technology behind each tweakment and reviews many of the tweakments, to provide an idea of what each procedure actually involves, what it feels like to have it done, and what sort of results it gives. The chapters are organised by each concern, such as 'Dynamic' lines and wrinkles, skin texture, uneven pigmentation (the age spots that result from sun damage or are hormone-related), thread veins, rosacea and redness, pores, and acne spots, loss of volume, sagging skin.It then explains there are lots of different ways to treat each of those concerns covering treatments such as injections of wrinkle-relaxing toxins such as Botox; medical needling, laser resurfacing, under-the-skin moisturising injections, laser and intense pulsed light treatment, skin peels, microneedling, injectable fillers, radiofrequency, ultrasound, laser, and heat-based skin tightening; thread lifts.
