As the aesthetics industry shifts toward a more natural look, bioregenerative techniques and noninvasive “tweak”-ments harness the body’s ability to age gracefully.
The mantra “less is more” reigns supreme when it comes to aging gracefully. Just as true luxury whispers rather than shouts, the best cosmetic procedures preserve a natural look while enhancing what’s already beautiful. Gone are the days of drastic, invasive surgeries; today’s smart set opts for “tweak”- ments—minimally invasive, strategically paced procedures designed to slow the hands of time with subtle sophistication and finesse. Buzzwords like collagen banking and exosomes have taken over cocktail chatter, marking a shift toward cutting-edge, bioregenerative approaches to aging. These techniques prioritize long-term skin health and vitality over drastic transformations.
“I am in my 60s, and I like it,” says New York-based dermatologist Dr. Doris Day, who is celebrated for her positive approach to aging. “I’m not trying to look like my daughter, who’s in her 30s. I want to look like a beautiful woman in her 60s,” she explains. Day highlights Sofwave, a device beloved for its ability to build collagen without downtime, fat loss or nerve damage. “It helps skin texture and skin quality, and it’s the one thing I do where patients consistently come back and use the same three words: ‘This really works.’” According to Day, those in their 30s benefit from Sofwave once a year, while those in their 40s and beyond should consider biannual treatments for optimal results.
Effective aging isn’t about a single procedure but rather a combination of approaches. “I combine Sofwave with fillers because the chin recedes as we age, and the orbit (the bone around the eyes) shrinks, causing the eyes to sink slightly,” says Dr. Day. “Neuromodulators can lift and shape the brows to keep the eyes open, but I want to do as little as possible with fillers and focus on helping the skin take care of itself.” Day also emphasizes lifestyle adjustments such as diet, exercise and resistance training alongside treatments. “These aren’t frivolous or superficial—they’re powerful. They motivate patients to take better care of themselves, drop sugar, drink less and improve relationships,” she explains.
Dr. Jason Diamond, a renowned Beverly Hills-based plastic surgeon and founder of the celeb-loved InstaFacial, shares a similar ethos, focusing on techniques that restore skin integrity naturally. “I was an early adopter of bioregenerative techniques, starting in the OR with nano fat and stem cells to let the body repair itself,” he explains. “Now, these procedures can be done in office without surgery.”
Diamond emphasizes the importance of collagen restoration. “Collagen is the key to skin integrity and a youthful appearance,” he explains. “You can’t be too aggressive in reestablishing it.” The InstaFacial, paired with his skincare collection, combines this science with practical results, providing patients with visibly rejuvenated skin.
By integrating collagen-building protocols, minimally invasive devices and bioregenerative techniques, today’s tweakments offer a self-serving approach in the best way—harnessing your body’s natural ability to repair and rejuvenate itself. After all, the best enhancements aren’t about erasing time but embracing it—beautifully and on your terms.
