"  Feeling not so fabulous under the office fluorescents? These fast face fixers promise to give you a youthful new look in an hour. Consider it a lunch date. LING ENERGY LIFT FACIAL Just sitting in New York&amp;#039;s zen Ling New York spa and drinking green tea for an hour could probably take a few stress lines off your face, but owner Ling Chan claims a lot more with her new Energy Lift therapy. Combining far-infrared light, heat, and acupressure, the treatment begins with 20 minutes of heat therapy on your back, neck, and shoulders. Chan&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;heat machine&amp;quot; is embedded with tourmaline crystals that emit far-infrared rays. As you lie facedown on the treatment table, Chan runs the hand piece over your back. It feels like a hot stone massage, sans sticky oil. Chinese medicine practitioners believe that far-infrared energy is the same frequency as our chi; consequently, the treatment promises to increase energy, oxygenate the blood, and detoxify. In any case, studies have shown that the rays reduce aches and pains as well as boost long-term collagen and elastin production. Next is the facial, which includes a glycolic peel, a massage, and multiple masks. After applying her Apple Stem Cellular Energy serum and DNA DoNotAge Cellular Youth Extension cream, Chan performs her signature acupressure technique with the far-infrared device, leading to a (temporary) lift, a healthy flush, and plumped-up wrinkles. &amp;quot;Most of my clients look at least five years younger,&amp;quot; says Chan. Cost: $195. VOLUMA FILLER INJECTIONS Though it&amp;#039;s not a procedure to be taken lightly, facial filling by a skilled cosmetic dermatologist or plastic surgeon can make a dramatic change in minutes, reversing the sagging, hollow look that slowly descends after 40 (sigh). Voluma, the newest filler, is made of hyaluronic acid, a natural sugar that attracts and holds water. It&amp;#039;s a favorite because it can fill and lift. If done correctly, &amp;quot;people can expect to see lifting of the face and replenishment of youthful contours such as cheekbones, jawlines, chins, and temples,&amp;quot; explains Fredric Brandt, a New York and Miami dermatologist. Think of it as a thicker Juv\u00E9derm or Restylane, meaning that it gives that much more &amp;quot;fill&amp;quot; and a &amp;quot;high lifting capacity,&amp;quot; notes Brandt, who says results &amp;quot;can last up to two years.&amp;quot; Although serious side effects are rare, bruising and swelling are possible. Your doctor will evaluate your face and determine the best places to inject. &amp;quot;On certain areas you can place the filler under the muscle, which will add volume but also give a more contoured and structural effect.&amp;quot; (Hello, cheekbones!) But research your doctor well, cautions Brandt. &amp;quot;The filler is only part of the equation. The technique in which it&amp;#039;s used is an equally or more important part of the treatment.&amp;quot; Cost: Each syringe is $1,000\u2013$1,500. LEAF MD IV VITA-INFUSION FACIAL Fancy a cocktail at lunch? This custom blend promises to leave you refreshed and energized\u2014and we&amp;#039;re not talking about a short-lived G&amp;amp;amp;T buzz. No need to bother with a glass; at Leaf MD Skin Care Clinic in Beverly Hills, cocktails are mainlined. Yes, delivered through an IV. And rather than alcohol, the cocktail is a high-potency-vitamin mixture: vitamins B12, B5, B6, B9, and C, as well as calcium, magnesium, and the \u00FCber antioxidant glutathione. As you absorb your cocktail, you enjoy a luxurious facial. Appointments start with a consultation about how you&amp;#039;re feeling. Tired? Jet-lagged? Flu-ish? A registered nurse mixes your blend and sets you up with an IV while you&amp;#039;re comfortably lying down in aesthetician Maya Zeineddine&amp;#039;s treatment room. Zeineddine performs a personalized facial as the IV sends the vitamins directly into your bloodstream, says Caroline Alexander, practice director for Leaf MD. &amp;quot;Some people feel energized immediately, or sometimes it happens a couple of hours later. You just feel really good.&amp;quot; Adds Zeineddine: &amp;quot;After one treatment your skin looks great. After two or three, you will definitely see a difference in your hair and nails too.&amp;quot; Cost: $295\u2013$340. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
