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.

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?

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

Evolve Tite, Trim, and Tone for non-surgical body sculpting is attracting lots of interest, and with fame comes comparison with other popular options—especially CoolSculpting. But while CoolSculpting freezes fat to trim you down, Evolve uses radiofrequency (RF) energy, which generates a controlled heat that can reduce fat and tighten skin, as well as electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) to tone muscle groups. 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 Trim, Tite, and Tone compares with CoolSculpting.

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,...
