No more fine lines, wrinkles and eye bags.

Superstar Nora Aunor just had her first photoshoot two weeks after she underwent cosmetic procedure in Japan, “TV Patrol Linggo” reported.

The 56-year-old award-winning actress is gearing up for her much-awaited showbiz comeback in April, when she will do concerts, as well as film and TV projects.

Master Showman German Moreno believes that Ate Guy hasn’t lost her magic when it comes to her fans.

“Hindi natin masasabi na wala nang followers si Guy. Buhay na buhay pa rin ang kanyang mga followers, eh,” he said.

In an interview on “The Buzz,” Nora asked rumormongers to take a break from throwing intrigues at her.

“Ngayong nag-uumpisa uli ako, ‘wag na nating bigyan ng kulay. ‘Wag nang sumabit ‘yang mga hindi dapat sumabit,” she said.

Prior to her return to RP, Nora will head to Canada to do some shows.
