Origin	Incel / PSL forums, 2010s; mainstream TikTok 2020s

Looksmaxxing is the practice of maximizing physical attractiveness on purpose: hair, skin, fat, muscle, teeth, clothes, photos, and — at the hard end — surgery. The word is a 2010s forum neologism (looks + maxxing) from the PSL boards (PUAHate, SlutHate, Lookism). TikTok made it a civilian search term in the 2020s.

This wiki treats it as a skill stack with different time scales, not as a caste system. Forum religion ("it's over," "subhuman") is recorded as slang. It does not set the lead.

Stack

• Week: sleep, skin, haircut, brows, teeth color, shirt fit, glasses, posture, lighting.
• Month–year: fat loss or lift, gym, derm, dentist.
• Medical: hair transplant, rhinoplasty, implants — licensed people, not forum DIY.
