All those non-surgical cosmetic procedures that you have heard of – such as Botox, dermal fillers, laser treatment and skin peels – are commonly known as tweakments.
To find a tweakment, decide which area of your face is bothering you. Hover over that area on the face here, select it, and you will see a list of tweakments that could be used in this area. Click on one to explore further.
This week, I went to the Define Clinic to talk with Dr Benji Dhillon about sculpting the face using a particular brand of filler called Teoxane. He knows this area inside-out and we had a fascinating conversation about fillers and the “ideal” face shape. Then I got to watch him work on a male patient who was looking to recover some of the facial structure he had noticed fall away over the years.

Pigmentation is right up the top of the list of things that bother us about our skin - particularly for anyone with darker skin. It's a big old topic and a very widespread issue - but the good news is that there is a lot that you can do about it. Watch the video for a taster, and download the fact sheet all about pigmentation to get into all the detail.
Why are more midlife men are turning to injectable fillers? If you ask Dr Benji Dhillon of the Define Clinic it is because they are realising just what impressive and natural-looking results you can get. The rise in male tweakments is definitely a thing - you may have seen some of the articles I’ve written in the national press about it over the years. As Dr Benji explains, it’s all about enhancing the masculine qualities of the face, which means a strong, well-balanced chin and a clean jawline.
Today I'm talking about prejuvenation, it’s the idea that if you start doing tweakments early, like in your twenties, and you have a little bit of wrinkle-relaxing toxin to stop the wrinkles setting in, then they won’t really develop so you won’t age as fast as you would normally.
It sounds logical and it has been proven in clinical studies too - so yes, it works, but here's the thing - I’m not mad keen on it. Why? Just because if you start thinking you must never have a single wrinkle and it’s a really terrible thing, then that kind of sets up all these phobias, around the whole process of showing any signs of ageing.
