The Face of NON-SURGICAL COSMETIC TREATMENTS St. Louis Cosmetic Surgery & Medical Spa Most people share a desire to look their best, but in today’s fast-paced environment, it can be hard to find time to maintain your appearance. That’s where non-surgical cosmetic treatments come in. The nurses at St. Louis Cosmetic Surgery and Medical Spa are highly trained in non-invasive methods that can fix fine lines and wrinkles or enhance lips in no time. As we age, we lose volume in our face, creating sagging and a gaunt appearance. Dermal fillers can add back fullness and smooth out wrinkles. BOTOX®, also used to soften wrinkles, often can be done in 30 minutes. No downtime is associated with either method. Other treatments include intense pulsed light (IPL), which can quickly fade brown spots on patients with sun-damaged skin, and Thermage®, a non-surgical way to tighten skin on the face using radiofrequency energy. For many women, the combination of BOTOX®, fillers, and IPL can create a dramatic change without the need for surgery.
