Dysport Kansas City

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 exactly?

Juvederm and Restylane, hyaluronic Acid fillers, are suspended within a gel carrier. This gel helps the hyaluronic acid stay in place where injected. The hyaluronic- acid immediately pulls in water. In this way, it increases volume. This works well for deeper to more severe wrinkles, folds, and areas of the face where more volume is needed. These fillers dissolve naturally and can last up to one year, with some lasting even longer.

There are many HA-fillers on offer. Here we use both Restylane and Juvederm HA Fillers to deliver subtle to dramatic enhancements. You have more options and can get customized results.

What are Neurotoxins?

Botox and Dysport, injectable neurotoxins, can temporarily reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Repetitive muscle contractions can lead to facial lines and wrinkles that get deeper and deeper over time. Botox and Dysport temporarily reduce muscle contractions. This will make the skin look smoother.

Common treatment areas include the forehead, frown lines, and crows feet. Results can be seen starting in just a couple of days after treatment but will continue to work gradually over two weeks. The effects of the treatment can last for up to four months if administered correctly.

What is Sculptra?

Sculptra uses poly-L lactic acids to slowly 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. Most people will need three treatments within a few months. After that, they only need one treatment each year. You can expect to see results for up to two years.

What is Kybella, exactly?

Kybella is an approved injectable treatment that permanently eliminates fat cells. Depending on the amount and type of fat, one to five Kybella vials might be necessary.

Treatments can be stopped once the desired aesthetic goal was achieved.

What is HydraFacial exactly?

The HydraFacial treatment addresses all skincare needs using patented technology to cleanse, extract, and hydrate the skin.

HydraFacial super serums are made with nourishing ingredients that create an instant glow in just a few steps.

The first step cleanses and peels the skin to uncover a new layer of skin using gentle exfoliation. Then a light chemical peel is applied to help resurface the skin and prepare it for painless extractions. Next, the pores are cleaned out using painless suction and the skin is nourished. To increase the skin's glow, antioxidants are instilled into the skin. The best part is there is no downtime!

What is Dermaplane?

Dermaplaning uses an operating-grade surgical blade to remove the dead skin, debris, or hair layer. A single session of dermaplaning is capable of removing approximately 2-3 weeks' worth of skin cells and debris. Dermplane is painless and non-invasive. The technique may look similar to shaving, but it is much more effective because the blade being used is able to get right against the top layer of skin. There's no reason to be concerned about your hair becoming darker. Dermaplaning works on the vellus (peach fuzz), and the hair grows back exactly the same size. It does not appear thicker due to the way that the blade is used. There is no downtime with this treatment.

What is Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel is a procedure that involves applying a chemical solution on the skin to remove the outer layers of the dermis. Chemical peels will help to improve the skin's texture and radiance, even out the skin tone, diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, help acne-prone skin, and decongest pores. Chemical peels can be performed in three strengths: deep, medium, or superficial. There are many ways to improve your skin. It all depends on what you want and how it is applied. Multiple treatments are recommended for best results.

Lashes & Brows

Let's not forget our eyebrows and lashes. We all know that lashes are important in our overall aesthetics. Just as we color our hair, why not our eyebrows and lashes? You can create the illusion of longer lashes and brows by tinting the hair follicles.

Get a lash lift to take things up a level. You can achieve a semi-permanent curl that lasts up to 6 weeks. It's time to put down the mascara and curler and get ready for a lash/brow lift and/or tint.

Don't have time for a lash tint or lash extensions? Latisse can help! In as little as eight weeks, this at-home treatment can lengthen your lashes and make them thicker and darker.

What is Medical Grade Skincare?

What is medical grade skincare you might ask? These skincare products have higher active ingredients than what you would find in the store. That means quicker results in less time. Plus, medical-grade skincare products are able to penetrate your skin at a deeper level, unlike over-the-counter skincare products that are more superficial. Now, although some products may be more expensive than what you would find over the counter, at least you know you are buying top-quality products that have been clinically studied to deliver optimal results.

You think that sounds wonderful? We agree. We offer three of our favourite products from medical-grade skincare brands, SkinCeuticals (and SkinMedica)
