Excellhealth Sleep Center
ExcellhealthSleep.com | 913.203.4040 | 10640 W 87th St., Overland Park, KS
Dr. Maniza Ehtesham of Excellhealth Sleep Center of Overland Park says, “When it comes to beauty, sleep may be the closest thing that can reverse signs of aging and rejuvenate your skin and body. As you sleep, your body repairs and recovers. When you don’t get all the recovery time your body needs, it most definitely affects your appearance and your health. Most adults need between six and eight hours of sleep every night.”
Dr. Ehtesham says the following are the specific beauty benefits of a good night’s rest:
•Fewer wrinkles: Skin makes new collagen when you sleep,
which prevents sagging. More collagen means skin is more
firm and less likely to wrinkle. Poor sleep also decreases
moisture levels, which makes your skin look less youthful.
•A glowing complexion: Your skin gets better blood flow
while you sleep and lowers the pH levels. A lower pH level
means you wake with a healthy glow. Poor sleep can actually
make your complexion dull.
• Brighter, less puffy eyes: Two of the most common skincare
complaints are bags and dark circles under the eyes. A good
night’s sleep goes a long way to minimizing these issues.
•Healthy hair: Hair loss, breakage, damage and even growth
can all be affected by lack of sleep. Hair follicles (where hair
growth begins) gain nutrients, vitamins and minerals from
blood flow, which increases during sleep and leads to
healthier hair.
• Healthy appearance: Poor sleep affects your mood and ability
to handle stress, which also affects your appearance.
• Skincare is more effective: As your skin’s blood flow increases
during sleep, your skin can repair itself and more effectively
absorb ingredients from the products you use.

Urogynecology of Kansas City

Pelvic floor disorders, including bladder and bowel control problems and pelvic organ prolapse, are all too common. Yet many women spend years suffering without realizing that both surgical and non-surgical options are available.
Patrick Nosti, MD, FACOG, director of Urogynecology of Kansas City, is one of the few urogynecologists in the Kansas City metro area who is both board-certified and fellowship-trained in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery. As a result of Dr. Nosti’s advanced training, as well as that of his staff, patients can receive treatment for complex conditions in one location and typically at one time, which improves outcomes and is more convenient.
Part of Dr. Nosti’s approach to delivering an exceptional patient experience includes offering the most effective treatment options. That’s why Urogynecology of Kansas City was the first Kansas City-area clinic to introduce the treatment in 2015. MonaLisa Touch is a fast, safe and effective non-hormonal alternative to treat common symptoms associated with vulvovaginal atrophy, including vaginal dryness and itching, painful intercourse and bladder symptoms like urinary incontinence, frequency or urgency, as well as recurring urinary tract infections.
Each new patient visit begins with a thorough exam so that Dr. Nosti and his staff can accurately diagnose a patient’s condition, then work with them to identify the best course of treatment. That way, patients can make informed decisions about next steps and know that relief and an improved quality of life are in sight.
