The top four non-surgical anti-aging beauty treatments in St. Louis"

News 4 This Morning

ReFirme

The newest FDA-approved, non-invasive face fixer combines light and radio frequencies for a virtually painless solution to slack skin and wrinkles, resulting in plumper, more youthful skin. Because of the lower levels of energy needed to be effective, ReFirme offers patients a less painful alternative to other high-tech wrinkle treatments.

Fraxel Laser Treatment

The latest anti-aging development improves skin texture and tone, reduces wrinkles and erases brown spots. A tiny microscopic laser penetrates deep into skin to eliminate damaged cells, Fraxel can rejuvenate small patches of skin while leaving surrounding areas untouched, resulting in faster healing.

Thermage

An all-around skin improver, this non-invasive treatment uses radiofrequency technology to stimulate collagen production in the brow, neck or jaw line to create tighter skin, smooth wrinkles and renew facial contours. In January, Thermage was also cleared by the FDA to treat wrinkles on arms, abs and thighs.

Titan

The solution to sagging skin no longer lies with surgery. This new device targets slack skin in the face, torso or upper arms by zapping infrared light deep into the dermis to repair and stimulate collagen. The effect is tauter, more lifted skin and a more youthful appearance.
