Mall Offers Cosmetic Quick Fix

Klinger is a spa, salon and "cosmedical" center all in one. The store teams with plastic surgeons from UT Southwestern Medical Center to provide safe, yet speedy light medical procedures.

The war on wrinkles can be rigorous, not to mention pricey, but most women, like Stacy Merritt of Dallas, are in for the wrangling. .

"It looked like a railroad track on my forehead and nose," says Byers, of Castro Valley, Calif. "Here I was trying to do something nice for myself and I ended up looking worse than I ever had in my life."

Time to face facts

Maybe it's the metrosexuals. Maybe it's Queer Eye. Maybe it's tapping into deep insecurities.

Whatever the reason, men's skin care is a hot category for Clinique, Aramis, Zirh, XCD, Anthony Logistics, Clarins, Biotherm, Jack Black, Origins and Shiseido. Most of the major players -- such as Gillette, Edge and Nivea -- are planning expanded lines.
