Does TikTok's Bold Glamour filter harm users' mental health?

TikTok's new hyperrealistic Bold Glamour filter is raising concerns among some mental health experts over the potential impact the "beautifying" digital image effects may have on social media users' well-being. 

The AI-powered filter, which TikTok added earlier this year, uses artificial intelligence to sculpt users' facial features, smooth out their skin and brighten their eyes. The effect is virtually seamless, making the changes hard to detect. Since its rollout, the Bold Glamour filter hashtag has racked up more than 200 million views on TikTok, the app shows.  

Although TikTok users seem eager to digitally enhance their appearance, Keith Feigenson, an associate professor of psychology at Pennsylvania's Albright College, worries that using filters like Bold Glamour could cause emotional or psychological harm to people on social media, especially young female users.
