    Why You Should Choose a Cosmetic Surgery Practice for Your Injectables

    Injectables offer a safe, non-surgical solution for attractively restoring volume, improving facial contours, and smoothing fine lines and wrinkles—if performed by a vetted, highly-experienced injector who is under the supervision of a board certified cosmetic surgeon. In 2021, injectables made up 65% of non-surgical procedures in the US—over 3.6 million neurotoxin and over 1.8 million dermal filler treatments were provided. But, as the popularity of injectables has skyrocketed, so has the number of injectors—and many are woefully underqualified. To help ensure you select a qualified injector, we've put together this blog explaining why it matters who performs your cosmetic injections. Who can legally perform facial injections? Why does it...

    Hormone Replacement Therapy for Women: A Real Patient Experience

    Ever considered bioidentical hormone therapy? Typically given to women as an under-the-skin pellet, this “wonder drug” custom-targets hormone deficiencies you have, helping patients with symptoms ranging from sexual discomfort to a general feeling of grogginess.

    Testosterone Replacement Therapy: A Real Patient Experience

This leads to symptoms that disrupt an active lifestyle, like persistent tiredness, loss of libido, and a feeling of disinterest in normal activities. Many men simply live with these symptoms, assuming they are just part of getting older—but if low testosterone is to blame, testosterone hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can help you regain energy, sleep better, and feel like yourself again. Wondering if this treatment will get results for you? We asked one of our Joplin, Missouri patients—a 36 year-old husband and father —to answer questions about his experience after two months of hormone therapy with injections. Where...
