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,...

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...

Woman Happy and Full of Energy After Hormone Replacement Therapy

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. Each pellet is fully customized based on your body’s deficiencies in testosterone, estrogen, and/or progesterone. Many of our patients are curious about this treatment, so we asked our Maningas Cosmetic Surgery marketing director, Dallas, to share her experience and answer questions you have about hormone replacement therapy. How long have you been using hormone therapy? I started in spring of 2021. I learned from the initial lab test (which we order for all patients) that...

Man Sitting By Pool With Increased Drive and Energy Thanks to Testosterone Replacement Therapy

Testosterone Replacement Therapy: A Real Patient Experience

Over time, some men stop producing hormones at a healthy level. 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...

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.
