Non-Surgical Cosmetic Treatments St. Louis Cosmetic Surgery and 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 radio-frequency energy. For many women, the combination of BOTOX®, fillers, and IPL can create a dramatic change without the need for surgery. 17300 N.

For nearly 30 years, multiple generations have trusted their care to Dr. Thomas Kemlage, a tradition that continues now with his own son, Dr. Andrew Kemlage. For this father-son team, following general industry standards is not enough. They believe that to provide first-rate care they must invest in cutting-edge equipment that changes the way dentistry is performed. Drs. Tom and Andrew are often among the first of their peers to incorporate innovative technology into their care plans. Their current offerings include a 3-D Cone Beam device, which delivers dental images unrivaled by traditional X-ray machines, making diagnosis more accurate and treatment more precise. They also practice CEREC dentistry, a technique that allows them to fabricate crowns and restorations in a single appointment. While Kemlage Family Dentistry is an advanced practice, the doctors’ mission is simple: to provide the best care available to each member of the family. 1576 Smizer Station Road, Fenton, Mo. 63026 | 636-225-1777 | kemlagefamilydentistry.com Pictured, from left: Thomas F.

Maybe the inflammation you struggle with has to do with irritating foods or chemicals. If your gut is not working right, it could be due to poor digestion, inadequate probiotics, a parasite, or yeast. Normal function could even be limited by your genetics. These are the common causes for many medical problems that, when addressed correctly, can be cured or managed. Drs.
