These days, alas, they have to share the waiting room with men.

啊呀，如今男士们也加入了进来。

In the past few years Dr Roman has treated a succession of bankers and businessmen in London and Paris.

在过去的几年里，罗曼医生已经为伦敦和巴黎的一批银行家和商业人士进行了治疗。

Typically, a swift shot of Botox,a toxin which freezes muscles,targets the deep forehead cleft which can descend on men over 40,especially if they spend all day frowning at a screen.

通常，只需注射一针肉毒杆菌毒素即可。这种毒素可以麻痹肌肉，作用于额头深层的皱纹。尤其是男士年过四十，整天对着电脑屏幕最容易生皱纹。

Other favoured treatments are lasers, which perk up skin-tone,and cosmetic fillers for those deep grooves between the nose and the mouth.

有些人则青睐激光治疗来改善肤色，以及在鼻与口之间的皱纹里填充整容化学材料。

Englishmen, says Dr Roman, are big spenders.

This is just as well:

I can't understand what puts people off, grouses David Pyott,the boss of Allergan, which makes Botox.

生产肉毒杆菌毒素的爱力根公司总经理大卫·波尔特抱怨道：我无法理解是人们为什么不敢注射肉毒杆菌。

Looks matter in the marketplace.

Do you want to have working for you a really old investment banker, a really old lawyer?asks Mr Pyott.

你真的发自内心想要一个年老的投资银行家，或一个年纪大的律师为你工作？

Less invasive male maintenance is growing, too.

男士护理产品也在缓慢的发展壮大中。

The mere male may be getting smoother,but he's still a rugged beast at heart.
