A new face in an hour: Hong Kong facial treatments for busy corporate hot shots

Every seasoned go-getter knows how important a Hong Kong facial treatment is. Climbing the corporate ladder requires turgid ego, willingness to brown nose and the ability to bluff like a minibonds trader. If you haven’t got these key qualities you'll have to fake it. These three non-invasive Hong Kong facial treatments, with almost zero down-time, will hide the softie on the inside and boost the aggressive winner on the outside.

The eyes often give the game away when it comes to staring down rivals or emitting sincerity when complimenting the boss. Too many late nights, constant staring at computer monitors and binge drinking with fellow plebes can result in crow’s feet, eye bags and a lackluster, lacking-in-ambition gaze.

The Hong Kong facial treatment antidote is the anti-aging prescription eye treatment (HK$380, 30 minutes) that uses micro-current therapy to lift and firm, instantly reducing dark circles and puffiness. Get it at Glow Skincare and Light Therapy.

Keep full of youth and ambition by smoothing out wrinkles and lying about your age. At Glow, photonic light therapy (HK$600, 30 minutes) gives an instant facelift and stimulates collagen production, releasing healing enzymes and improving blood flow. Sounds like PR fluff? Try the free half-face trial and compare the visible results yourself.

Alternatively, The Face Magic Haven performs its Hong Kong facial treatments with laser skin rejuvenation or glycolic peels. Treatments such as NeoStrata and Yag Laser even out tone, tighten pores and reduce sebum production. (Prices range between HK$980-3,800)

Brightening your teeth will make lying right through them that much easier. The BriteSmileSM treatment (HK$6,800) at Neoface Clinic uses state-of-the-art teeth-whitening technology to erase years of coffee staining in an hour, although you might want to budget in extra time for a thorough pre-treatment consultation with the therapists. Ladies can try a lip-plumping treatment to achieve the Angelina bee-stung look and get bosses thinking inappropriately about them. A good spa for Hong Kong facial treatments is Melo at the Hyatt Regency, where guests can transform their lips in a mere 20 minutes (HK$290).
