...PRICE (syndicated). A wealthy businessman's wife and stepdaughter are kidnaped by Irish terrorists in this taut and intricate thriller imported from Britain's Channel...
...series of ten to 15 shots. Used primarily to combat forehead furrows and the lines that extend from the nose to the lips, collagen fills in the space behind and around wrinkles and sags, much like the way air fills a balloon and makes its skin grow taut.
