Aging skin doesn’t happen overnight. We know this, and yet many people aren’t quite sure what to do about the signs of aging. One of the biggest mistakes we make is waiting to address lines and wrinkles. We typically don’t seek treatments until we have become frustrated with our appearance. By this time, we are […]
The signs of aging are sneaky. They begin to appear ever-so-slightly until, one day, we see a mottled complexion or distinct sun spots and leathery skin where the tissue was once smooth and firm. The fact that there are so many anti-aging remedies available today may only make matters more complex. Here, we want to […]
With the emergence of numerous beauty treatments such as injectables, the value of longstanding technologies may have accidentally been placed in the backseat. In our St. Louis office, we have been conducted fractional laser resurfacing for years. With celebrities raving about the latest and greatest lasers, we can’t think of a better time to reintroduce […]
Mark Twain described wrinkles as the evidence of smiles. This is a lovely description of the lines that come with age, but it doesn’t quite cut it for the person who wants to ease into their age over a longer period.

In fashion, what is old almost always becomes new again. Could we say the same thing about a cosmetic treatment like Botox? It’s possible, but not in the same way it occurs with fashion trends. Botox has been around for several years and, in that time, we’ve come to know so much about it that […]
Microneedling. This term may sound unusual, if not completely unappealing. Truth be told, microneedling has been a popular and effective beauty technique for many years. A few years ago, the skin-rejuvenating treatment received worldwide attention after Kim Kardashian shared photos of herself immediately following what came to be known as a “vampire facial.” There are […]
There is something about the holiday season that makes us want to glow from the inside out. However, it is about now when the damage from endless summers begins to show on the skin. If you are tired of looking dull and splotchy and you crave radiant, smooth, younger looking skin, consider the benefits of […]
