Maintaining a Healthy Scalp and Hair for Improved Hair Growth

When it comes to improving hair growth and quality, people often choose products and treatments that focus on the hair itself, bypassing the foundation of hair growth—the scalp. The skin on your scalp is similar to normal skin in that it has an epidermis and dermis, but your scalp also contains a greater concentration of hair follicles. Your scalp’s health is one of several factors that impact hair growth. Here, in part 1 of this 2-part series, we share the symptoms and causes of an unhealthy scalp and how you can maintain a healthy scalp for improved hair growth. What are the symptoms of an unhealthy scalp? Anomalies on your...

Kim K Got Morpheus8 and Loved It—Here’s Why

Morpheus8 microneedling is one of our favorite non-surgical treatments to tighten the skin and erase imperfections and we recently heard Kim Kardashian is a big fan too. Here, triple-board certified Joplin cosmetic surgeon Dr. Talon Maningas explains this innovative technology and why even major celebrities are opting for this minimally invasive treatment. What is Morpheus8? As we age, our skin gradually loses its ability to produce collagen, causing it to wrinkle and sag. What was once only achievable with a surgical procedure, Morpheus8 microneedling is one of the safest and most effective non-surgical treatments to tighten skin and sculpt fat deposits with no downtime required. Using a handheld device, tiny,...

Should I switch up my Botox-type injectables?

When you ask your injector for “some Botox,” do you know which formula they choose for you? Each of the Botox-type injectables available—BOTOX®, Dysport®, Jeuveau®, and Xeomin®—contains botulinum toxin type A and is FDA-approved. But they have slight differences, and it is possible in rare cases for patients to require a change in formula after developing Botox resistance. Our qualified aesthetics team has helped numerous patients navigate the vast array of injectables available at our Joplin, MO medspa. Below, they explain what you need to know. What are the different brands of injectable neurotoxins? The injectable botulinum toxins (a.k.a. neurotoxins or neuromodulators) currently available for cosmetic enhancements today are: Botox...

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...

Can lymphatic drainage massage improve my body contouring results?

Women and men in Joplin, MO and the four-state area are increasingly turning to body contouring procedures to improve their shape when diet and exercise simply aren’t enough. While these cosmetic treatments are incredibly effective, all body contouring procedures—from liposuction to BodyTite—can cause temporary swelling that may obscure your initial results. In this month’s post, we discuss whether or not lymphatic drainage massage can help reduce post-body contouring inflammation and improve your results. What is the lymphatic system? The lymphatic system is the part of your immune system responsible for transporting fluid through the lymph vessels, thereby removing fluids and toxins from the body. A healthy lymphatic system moves...

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,...
