Catherine Somoza recieves a Botox treatment at the new mall clinic.

DALLAS - At NorthPark mall, shopping bags are plentiful.

Now, shoppers can also get rid of their bags - those under their eyes - at a new boutique.

"So when you're here, you can go all the way from shoes to Botox in less than 15 minutes," said Monica Mrdak, general manager.

That's right. In addition to hair, make-up, and massage, the Klinger Center offers "cosmedicine", which is cosmetic medicine, including laser light treatments.

UT Southwestern Dr. Rod Rohrich says this is part of the changing face of healthcare.

"With what's happening in medicine now is that we're taking medicine to where people work, shop and like to be."

No appointment necessary.

A single treatment can take from 15 minutes to an hour.

Working mom Catherine Somoza says this is one-stop shopping at its best.

"I love having it here where I'm doing everything. You know, I'm shopping, I'm working and you know - a busy person. So it is so convenient to have it here," she said.
