肉毒杆菌素：A型肉毒杆菌素在亚洲是最好的选择。它神奇的地方在于：肉毒杆菌素可以中断神经和肌肉之间的联系，让表面的肌肤——眉间纹和前额线、鱼尾纹和颈部皱褶——放松，结果很棒，皱纹变得平滑，眉间纹减弱，还可以重塑双眼皮。总之会让人看上去年轻了十岁。

Skin fillers: As we age, out skin thins. Fillers are injected into the skin to increase volume in tissue, the added plumpness gives the face structure and smoothes out deep wrinkles.

皮肤填充剂：随着我们年龄增长，皮肤变薄了。通过注射填充剂，可以提高软组织的容量，增加的丰满能够让脸部结构分明，抚平深度皱纹。

Thermage: This procedure heats and damages collagen. In trun, the collagen contracts, then rebuilds and strengthens, tightening⁴ and lifting sagging⁵ skin.

热酷紧肤：这一过程加热和破坏了胶原。然后，胶原依次收缩，重塑，加强，紧致和提升松垂的皮肤。

Results can be seen immediately for men, but they may take two or four months to become visible for women.

对男性来说，效果会立刻体现，而女性则需要2到4个月才能见疗效。

Thermage is new, so long-term results are unknown. But it is believed that it will last 5 years, almost the same amount of time as a face-lift.

热酷紧肤是新技术，能维持多长时间还不知道。但是据说它能持续5年，几乎和整容的时间差不多。
