Navigating the world of tweakments can feel overwhelming – even for someone like me who has been involved in this area for 25 years. But if you are curious about what’s out there beyond Botox and fillers, read on. As a journalist with a passion for uncovering the truth about cosmetic treatments, I’ve tested everything from wrinkle-relaxing toxins to stem cell-assisted fat transfer so you don’t have to. On my website and social media, I share what these procedures are like, plus their results, to give you an honest look into this fascinating but often baffling world.
So what’s new, exciting and – crucially – effective for 2025? Here are my picks…. . What’s the tweak? Hyaluronic acid-based injections, such as Juvéderm’s Volite or Restylane, rather than fillers, for smoother, softer lips with no hint of a trout pout. You are given the injections at strategic points in the lips. The product then spreads under the surface.
Good for? Ensuring your lips look less dry, old and wrinkly (rather than just plumper), as the treatment is brilliant for amping up both lip hydration and skin quality. Does it work? Imagine having a comforting layer of serum on the inside of your lips. It will make them look softer, smoother and a tad fuller without adding obvious volume.
How long does it last? Four to nine months, depending on the product used and how well your lips respond to it. Is it painful? Well, it does involve needles to get the product through the skin, so brace yourself for that – but it’s a fine needle and you can have numbing cream to make it feel more comfortable.
