Evolve vs. CoolSculpting: Which Non-Surgical Body Contouring Comes Out on Top?

Evolve for non-surgical body sculpting is attracting lots of interest, and with fame comes comparison with other popular options—especially CoolSculpting.

Curious about replacing some of your gym routine with non-surgical body contouring? To help you choose, we explain how the non-surgical trifecta Evolve compares with CoolSculpting. How Evolve body contouring works When you come to our Joplin Medspa for Evolve, you have three options to choose from based on your goals and the area...

IPL vs Laser Treatment: Which is Best for Cosmetic Skincare?

Can Working Out With Your Friends Reduce Stress? Research Says Yes.

According to a 2017 study published in the Journal of the American Osteopathic Association, working out in a group lowers stress by 26% and significantly improves one’s quality of life compared to those who exercise individually. We’re all for busting stress and having fun, so these statistics piqued our interest. To understand exactly why working out with friends can be better than going it alone, we dove into the science behind stress and exercise. Why is stress so bad for us? When we’re stressed, our body releases cortisol, a hormone response to the “fight or flight” feeling all humans experience. Frequently producing too much cortisol can cause adrenal fatigue,...

Heard All the Buzz About the BOTOX Lip Flip? Here’s What it Can and Can’t Do.

Lip fillers have become ubiquitous over the last few years, and Juvéderm®, Restylane®, and Kysse™ have become household names. As a result, injectors have begun to pay more attention to the very delicate lip area. The cosmetics world even found a way to enhance the lips with BOTOX®, the injectable usually used to treat wrinkles. This procedure is known as the Botox lip flip. You have probably heard about the lip flip, a specialized injection of the popular toxin that gives the upper lip a little extra zhuzh. While it’s no substitute for lip filler, the lip flip is a useful nonsurgical option that can help achieve many...

Nora Ephron Hated Her Neck. We Bet She Would Have Loved this Technology.

In the 2006 book I Feel Bad About My Neck, Nora Ephron writes candidly about the tribulations of aging—specifically, the neck. “There are scrawny necks and fat necks, loose necks, crepey necks, banded necks, wrinkled necks, stringy necks, saggy necks, flabby necks, mottled necks,” she writes of herself and her fellow women friends who she meets for lunch, all of them outfitted in neck-concealing turtlenecks and scarves. And then she points out what was, at the time, a hard truth: “[S]hort of surgery, there’s not a damn thing you can do about a neck.” Nora Ephron, we have good news: There’s a brand-new, minimally-invasive procedure that will tighten the...
