Laser treatment 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?

Juvederm or Restylane are hyaluronic fillers that are suspended in gel carriers. This gel keeps the hyaluronic ag in place. The hyaluronic- acid immediately pulls in water. In this way, it increases volume. 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 many HA fillers on the marketplace. Here we use both Restylane and Juvederm HA Fillers to deliver subtle to dramatic enhancements. More options, customized results.

What are Neurotoxins?

Botox

and Dysport are injectable neurotoxins which can temporarily improve wrinkle appearance. Repetitive muscle contractions can cause wrinkles and facial lines to develop and become deeper over time. Botox or Dysport temporarily weakens these muscle contractions, making the skin appear smoother.

Common areas to treat include the forehead and frown lines. The results can be seen in a few days, but they will improve over the next two weeks. You can expect to see results for as long as four months, if you do the right dosage.

What is Sculptra?

Sculptra uses poly-L lactic acids to slowly restore facial volume. When injected, it stimulates your skin's natural ability gradually to make collagen. The poly-L–lactic acid is biodegraded gradually and replaced by a matrix of new collagen over several months. The treatment areas include the jawline, cheeks and nasolabial folds. The majority of patients will need three treatments in the first few months, followed by one annual treatment. Results can last more than two years!

What is Kybella?

Kybella can be used to permanently remove fat cells. Depending on the amount of fat present one to five vials of Kybella may be needed during a single treatment session and multiple treatment sessions may be necessary. The most common area of treatment is the submental fat otherwise known as a 'double chin'. Once an aesthetic goal is reached, treatment can be stopped.

What is a Vitamin B-12 Supplement?

Vitamin B-12 is an essential vitamin our bodies require to function properly. This injection can help increase energy, improve fatigue, speed up metabolic rate, improve sleep patterns, increase concentration and boost the immune system.

What is HydraFacial exactly?

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

HydraFacial's super serums have nourishing ingredients that instantly give you a glowing complexion in just a few seconds.

The first step cleanses and peels the skin to uncover a new layer of skin using gentle exfoliation. A light chemical peel is then applied to the skin to resurface it and prepare it for painless extracts. Next, debris is removed from the pores using painless suction while nourishing the skin. To increase the skin's glow, antioxidants are instilled into the skin. There is absolutely no downtime.

What is Dermaplane?

Dermaplaning uses a medical-grade surgical blade to remove the surface layer of dead skin, debris, and hair. One session of dermaplaning can remove approximately 2-3 weeks worth of dead skin cells and other debris. Dermplane is completely pain-free and non-invasive. While the technique looks like shaving, it's much more effective than that because the blade used is able reach right up against the skin's top layer. 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. A surgical blade does not give the illusion of thicker hair. There is no downtime with this treatment.

What is a Chemical Peel and how does it work?

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 are a great way to improve the skin's texture, radiance, reduce wrinkles, decongest pores, treat acne-prone skin and help with fine lines. Chemical peels are available with different strengths. You can see a difference in your skin depending on your concerns, and which peel you choose to address them. Multiple treatments are recommended for best results.

What is Clear + Brilliant Laser exactly?

Clear + Brilliant laser is based upon advanced technology. Clear + Brilliant treatment is easy. Clear + Brilliant begins with a consultation. This will allow you to find out if Clear + Brilliant suits your needs and pinpoint the areas that it can help. Your practitioner will then recommend a Clear+ Brilliant Laser treatment plan. With two handpieces to choose from either to address skin texture issues like fine lines/wrinkles and poor size or brown spots, there is a perfect treatment option for you!

What is an Insta-Glo Facial?

Insta-Glo Facials are guaranteed to leave your skin glowing for many days. This combination of a HydroJelly masque and an ampoule is designed to meet your specific skin needs.

First, cleanse and exfoliate the skin. Next, the ampoule will be applied to the skin and infused with our Nano Infusion Pen. After the ampoule is applied, HydroJelly masque will be applied. The appropriate products are then applied to your skin. You are now ready to go! There is very little downtime with this treatment.

What is Microneedling and how can it help you?

Microneedling can cause microscopic wounds to the skin. The body's natural wound healing process is stimulated by microneedling. Cellular damage is minimized.

You may need to do a series between 3 and 6 treatments, depending on your results. This procedure involves minimal downtime.

Lashes & Brows

Let's not forget our eyebrows and lashes. We all know that our lashes, and brows, play an important role in our overall aesthetic. 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.

Take it up a notch with a lash lift. Semi-permanent curls can be added to your lashes for up to six weeks. So, ditch the mascara and lash curler and save yourself some time getting ready with a lash/brow tint and/or lash lift.

Are you short on time? Latisse is a great alternative! This daily at-home treatment can make your lashes longer, thicker, and darker in as little as 8 weeks.

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. Additionally, medical-grade skincare products can penetrate your skin at a deeper layer than those that are less effective. 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.

This sounds fantastic, right?! We think so. This is why we carry three top-rated medical-grade brands of skincare: SkinCeuticals, Alastin, and SkinMedica.
