Altagrace Hanley, MD
We are proud to say we are delivering upon that promise we made to our clients and ourselves. We have been voted the Best Day Spa in Joplin, Southwest Missouri, and the Four State Area, where we are located, and have been nationally recognized as one of the Top 10 Medical Spas in the Country. We have also been awarded Best Destination for Pre-Wedding Services, Best Weight Loss Program/Center, and Best Cosmetic Center/Surgeon in our area.
We believe this has been possible because of our unique approach and our gorgeous facility. La Boussole is nestled on 20 acres of serene rolling hills in an artistically crafted limestone estate in Joplin, Missouri. We are renowned not only for our services but also for our tranquil environment.
Commitment to Continuous Improvement
We are not comfortable resting on our laurels. We continually look to provide the latest advancements in health, wellness, and aesthetic medicine. Our certified staff undergo rigorous training to stay abreast of the newest technologies and techniques we offer. This commitment to continuous improvement ensures that our clients receive the highest level of care and the most effective treatments available.
A Vision of Holistic Wellness
Although we have clients who desire one-off services like Botox and fillers, our holistic approach ensures we look at every individual visitor as a whole, and ensure they experience excellence and understand all we have to offer.
Our free consultations feature the VISIA digital imaging system, which provides an in-depth analysis of your skin’s surface and sub-surface. This painless scan measures various aspects of your skin, including pigmentation, pore size, UV spots, sun damage, texture, and wrinkles.
La Boussole’s award-winning Compass Weight Management Program is a personalized journey we designed to provide a comprehensive health and wellness package that supports our clients' weight loss goals. We are with them every step of the way. Our highly-skilled nursing staff offers individual counseling, support, customized nutritional planning, integration of Semaglutide or Tirzepatide injections, and all the resources necessary to achieve desired outcomes and a healthier lifestyle.
