Dr. John Fox and Nurse Practitioner Mary Beth Newkirk have partnered to open a new med/spa business called NewFox Wellness.
It is located at 1118 S. Clark, Fort Scott inside the Re:Freshed Salon and Spa, just off 12th Street and Hwy. 69.
The business features advanced aesthetics.
“Advanced aesthetics is typically offered in large cities but we are bringing these services closer to home,” Newkirk said. “Many people use these types of products but it takes a lot of time, travel, and added expenses to go to K.C. or farther for treatment. By offering these services in the community, people can actually decrease their overall cost and time. We plan to continue to expand with many additional services and are open to wellness suggestions from the community!”
Services offered: Botox, Dysport, dermal fillers, Kybella, microneedling with the only FDA approved SkinPen, skin tag removal, and Cryotherapy for minor skin lesions, she said.
“Our goal is to partner with Delane Godden, owner of {Re:Freshed} Salon and Spa, to treat the whole person’s facial and skin needs,” Newkirk said. “We all have blemishes or insecurities about our bodies we want fixed; these products allow Dr. Fox and I to offer results at a fraction of the cost compared to surgery and/or laser treatments.”
Newkirk enjoys the job she has.
” As a provider, there is an amazing amount of joy in watching a person’s confidence increase after correcting a facial asymmetry or treating their TMJ pain with Botox or healing acne scarring that has been present for years,” she said. “Many of the services we are offering will boost a person’s self-esteem, worth, and confidence. Who doesn’t want that? “
She is offering free consultations and grand opening promotions as well. The grand opening is scheduled for Nov. 1.
The phone number is 620-215-5890.
The business will be from Monday-Saturday by appointments. “Times may vary based on injector availability,” Newkirk said.

Owners
Newkirk is a Nurse Practitioner certified in family medicine.
” I graduated with my advanced nursing degree from Pittsburg State University and have additional training in Advanced Aesthetics and injectables through the National Laser Institute,” she said.
She trained under Brittney Burnworth, nurse practitioner and owner of BB Aesthetics in Columbus Ohio, a top 250 medspa in the nation, she said. She is an Allergan Epic Advanced Training Injector Nurse Educator.
Dr. John Fox is co-owner and medical director for NewFox Wellness.
“Dr. Fox is well known and loved in this community,” Newkirk said. “It was a huge loss to our area when Mercy (Hospital) closed and he was forced to move his practice outside our area. NewFox Wellness is a way for us to give back to his wonderful patients and the community by offering services not provided in this area.”
