Dermaplane Kansas City MO

Nikky
Co-Owner / Aesthetician

I have always been obsessed with the beauty industry and everything about it. At a very young age my mom taught me how to take care of my skin, she always told my sister and me how important it is to wash your face and she always bought us the best products. It just stuck with me I guess. When I was finally of age to work, I always had a job in the beauty industry working at cosmetic counters. As much as l loved makeup, it was the skincare products that excited me more. I decided to go to esthetics school in 2000. It's been such an inspiring journey since. I’ve met so many great and knowledgeable humans along the way in this industry. I met Sean, who is not only my business partner but my bestie. And most importantly, I get to help people feel great about themselves.</p>
<p>I love how this industry is forever growing. I enjoy learning about new treatments, technology, and products that I can use in my treatment room to deliver the best results to my patients. When you love what you do it’s not work and I absolutely LOVE my “job”!

Sean

Co-Owner / Nurse Practitioner / Nurse Injector
I’ve always wanted to get into Medical Aesthetics ever since I can remember, but it’s a tough industry to get into. After practicing Primary Care for the under/uninsured in the Kansas City Metro area for a couple years as a nurse practitioner, I was able to breakthrough. In 2015, I joined a surgical organization where I was the lead nurse practitioner for the facial plastic surgery division. Working there provided me the foundation to my injection career. In 2017, I left this surgical organization and started working in a medical spa where I soon became the Lead Injector. It was at this medical spa that I met Nikky. After working together for a year we decided to open up Face KC Medical Spa in February of 2019. I am now a Master Injector who focuses primarily on injectables and I wouldn’t change a thing!
<p>It’s a wonderful feeling to be a business owner, but an even better feeling because I’m doing what I’ve always wanted to do-Medical Aesthetics.

What are HA fillers?

Juvederm or Restylane are hyaluronic fillers that are suspended in gel carriers. This gel helps the injectable hyaluronic to remain in place. The hyaluronic acid works immediately by pulling in water, therefore, increasing the volume where injected. This is ideal for areas with more volume, such as cheeks or lips, or wrinkles that are deeper or more prominent. These fillers dissolve naturally and can last up to one year, with some lasting even longer.

There are various HA Fillers on the market. This combination of Restylane (and Juvederm) HA fillers is used to provide subtle to dramatic enhancements. More options, customized results.

What are Neurotoxins exactly?

Botox, Dysport and Dysport injectable neurotoxins can temporarily improve the appearance fine lines and wrinkles. Repetitive muscle contractions can cause wrinkles and lines to appear and grow over time. Botox, Dysport and Dysport temporarily relax these muscle contractions. The skin will appear smoother.

Common areas of treatment include forehead, frown lines, crows' feet, and the chin. Although results are visible in a few days following treatment, the effects will last for two weeks. You can expect to see results for as long as four months, if you do the right dosage.

What is Sculptra exactly?

Sculptra is a bio-stimulatory injectable that contains poly-L-lactic Acid. It helps to gradually restore facial volume. It stimulates the natural production of collagen in your skin by slowly injecting it. Over time, the poly-L lactic acid is biodegraded to create a new meshwork of collagen. The treatment areas include the jawline, cheeks and nasolabial folds. In the beginning, most people will need three treatments spread over several months. Then they may only require one treatment every year. You can expect to see results for up to two years.

What is Kybella, exactly?

Kybella is an injection that can permanently destroy fat cells. A single session may require up to five Kybella vials depending on how much fat is present. Additional sessions may be necessary depending on the extent of the treatment. Submental fat, also known as the 'double chin', is the most common area for treatment. Treatments can stop once a desired aesthetic goal has been reached.

What is HydraFacial?

HydraFacial is a revolutionary treatment that addresses all your skincare needs.

HydraFacial Super Serums are made with nourishing substances that provide instant glow.

The first step involves gently exfoliating the skin and cleansing it. Next, a light chemical peel will be applied to smoothen the skin and prepare it in order for painless extractions. The skin is then cleaned using painless suction. The skin is then infused with antioxidants and peptides to enhance its glow. The best thing is that there is no downtime.

What is Dermaplane exactly?

Dermaplaning is a surgical procedure that uses a medical-grade blade to remove dead skin and other debris. One session of dermaplaning can remove approximately 2-3 weeks worth of dead skin cells and other debris. Dermplane is completely painless and non-invasive. Although it may look like shaving, dermplane is more efficient because the blade can reach the top layer of the skin. There is no need to worry about the hair growing back darker- dermaplaning targets the vellus hair (peach fuzz) that grows back the same size and color. The way the surgeon cuts hair doesn't create thicker hair. This treatment does not require downtime.

What is a Chemical Peel?

They can also reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Chemical peels are available with different strengths. Your concerns and the type of peel you select will determine how much improvement your skin receives. For most, multiple treatments are recommended to achieve the best results.

Lashes & Brows

Our brows and lashes are important! We all know by now that lashes and brows play a significant role in our overall aesthetics. The hair on our heads is colored so why not the brows and eyelashes? By coloring the hair from the base to the tip, a lash tint or brow tint can give the illusion that they are fuller and more long.

Take it up a notch with a lash lift. You can get a semi-permanent curl to your eyelashes that will last for as long as 6 weeks. So, ditch the mascara and lash curler and save yourself some time getting ready with a lash/brow tint and/or lash lift.

Do you have a busy schedule and don't want to spend time on lash tints or extensions? Latisse is a great alternative! In as little as eight weeks, this at-home treatment can lengthen your lashes and make them thicker and darker.
