The old saying may be that beauty is only skin deep, but that is not quite the truth. Our internal health can have a big impact on the external, including the appearance of our skin. That’s something Racquel Aesthetics and Wellness understands. Since it first opened in Chesterfield, the medical spa has offered aesthetic services and wellness treatments to help its clients feel their best—both inside and out. Owner Racquel Frisella is a certified nurse practitioner with more than 16 years of experience. “I absolutely love helping people build confidence,” she says. “My amazing team shares that passion for helping our clients transform their inner and outer beauty.”

Following the success it has found in Chesterfield, Racquel Aesthetics and Wellness has expanded into Kirkwood. The new location offers 18,000 square feet of space and has allowed the brand to evolve its innovative wellness offerings. These services offer clients the opportunity to focus on their inner health with treatments like hormone optimization, weight management, IV therapy, longevity programs and more. “Our Kirkwood space was designed to provide exceptional care and transformative results,” Frisella notes. “Our holistic approach assesses the overall well-being of each individual to offer support for a thriving, balanced life—we want people to feel not just good, but great!”

Along with its wellness program, Racquel Aesthetics and Wellness provides cutting-edge skin and aesthetic treatments. Every procedure is performed by either a nurse practitioner, registered nurse or medically trained licensed esthetician. Some of its most popular offerings include Botox, Sculptra and other fillers, laser treatments, microneedling and customized facials and peels. “We specialize in subtle, beautiful enhancements and offer unparalleled levels of care and expertise,” Frisella says. “At the heart of everything we do is a deep commitment to excellence, safety and natural looking results. It is our priority that every patient receives an exceptional experience and achieves optimal outcomes.”

Racquel Aesthetics and Wellness also curates personalized skin care plans, featuring its exclusive medical-grade line, RFA Skincare. Created in collaboration with leading chemists and scientists, the products are designed to deliver truly transformative results. “The name stands for ‘Results For All,’” Frisella explains. “We offer
science-backed solutions for every skin type and concern, helping our patients build confidence through skin transformation. Our exclusive state-of-the-art skin quiz creates a fully customized regimen tailored to you and your unique skin needs, and our Kirkwood location has a boutique where you can shop in store and receive a complimentary consultation from an expert provider.”

Frisella is excited to start a new chapter of Racquel Aesthetics and Wellness with its new Kirkwood location. However, she notes that while the medical spa may be growing, she and her team’s dedication to offering clients the best services and care possible remains the foundation of its mission. “We’re looking forward to welcoming anyone who wants to make a change to support their inner and outer beauty,” she says. “Our passion is to help people achieve their skin goals, so everyone is welcome to come in for a consultation. We pride ourselves in offering St. Louis the best clinical experience from top to bottom.”
