"For the uninitiated, tweakements are non-surgical cosmetic procedures, like fillers or laser treatments. The number performed worldwide grew by nearly 2 million between 2017 and 2020. The number of dermal filler procedures and body procedures is expected to hit 23 million and 14.6 million, respectively, by the end of 2025, according to Allergan Aesthetics, one of the leading providers of Botox."
"When the body responds by healing the holes, it produces collagen, the primary building block of skin that we naturally make less of as we age. This can lead to smoother, tighter-looking, and more even-toned skin. The skin barrier, the outermost layer that keeps toxins and bacteria out of the body, is very good at its job, Chavda-Sitaram said. So most skincare products don't reach the deeper layers."
Non-surgical cosmetic procedures, often called tweakments, are rising globally with millions more procedures and projections of 23 million dermal filler and 14.6 million body procedures by 2025. Microneedling is FDA-approved for treating acne scars and reducing wrinkles. The procedure uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries that trigger collagen production, which can result in smoother, tighter, and more even-toned skin. The skin’s outer barrier limits penetration of most topical products; microneedling creates micro-channels in the dermis to allow deeper delivery. Microneedling is presented as a science-backed, effective option among many cosmetic treatments.
