If you’re dipping your toe into the possibility of a small touch-up, these are the top 10 tweakments for women over 50:
Botox
Toxin injections that temporarily relax the muscles in your face, smoothing out lines and wrinkles.
Juvederm fillers
Injectable dermal fillers with a base of hyaluronic acid that restore volume to address signs of facial ageing.
Profhilo treatment
An injectable ‘bio-remodelling’ hyaluronic acid gel that stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, tightening sagging skin.
Chemical face peel
A solution is applied to the face to remove dead skin cells and stimulate new cell growth. Superficial and medium peels are not permanent but usually considered safe. Deep peels are longer-lasting but carry more risk.
Endymed facial skin tightening
A non-surgical facelift, this uses radiofrequency energy to lift the neck and face skin.

PDO thread lift
A procedure that uses dissolvable sutures to lift sagging skin, like facelift surgery. However, the results don’t last as long.
Mole/blemish/cyst removal
A variety of cosmetic procedures that remove minor blemishes using lasers, electricity, plasma energy or sharp instruments.
IPL skin rejuvination
Also known as intense pulsed light, this removes the outer layer of the skin to promote growth of collagen and new skin cells, often used for treating wrinkles, spots and unwanted hair.
Hydrafacial
Sometimes called hydradermabrasion because it involves microdermabrasion-like exfoliation with hydrating serums, this removes dead skin cells, cleans out pores and moisturises.
Mobagi skincare system
A professionally dispensed at-home skincare system designed to accelerate cell turnover.
