About Alchemē Medical Aesthetics
Founded on the belief that aesthetic care should slow down, look at your unique anatomy, and enhance the authentic beauty you already possess.
Turning What You Have Into What You Want
Alchemē takes its name from alchemy, the ancient art of transforming existing elements into something precious. That is our core promise: we aren't here to make you look like someone else or hand you a cookie-cutter package.
After spending years in full-time aesthetic practice in St. Louis and Dexter, founder Brooke Duckworth, RN saw a persistent problem in the medical spa industry: patients rushed through treatments, overfilled, and left feeling unheard. Alchemē was built to be the sanctuary where providers slow down, obsess over millimeters, and strategically bank collagen for long-term health.
"The goal was never to make you look like someone else. It's to help you recognize yourself in the mirror again, and like what you see."

Meet The Founder

Brooke Duckworth, RN
Founder & Specialized Aesthetic Nurse Injector
I'm Brooke, a registered nurse who's spent the last six years in aesthetics, injecting full time. I spent the first three of those years building my career in St. Louis, then came home to Dexter, my hometown, to plant roots and raise my own family.
I decided to open Alchemē, because I kept seeing the same problem in this industry: women handed the same over-corrected result as everyone else, rushed through, overlooked, rarely heard. I wanted to build the opposite. A place where I slow down and look at your anatomy for what it is, not a problem to fix, so the outcome looks like you, only softer, more confident.
Alchemē takes its name from exactly that idea, turning what you already have into what you want. Because the goal was never to make you look like someone else. It's to help you recognize yourself in the mirror again, and like what you see. I'm obsessive about the craft: continuing education, the technique, the anatomy, the aging process, all of it. I obsess over millimeters and strategically banking collagen so you don't have to.
