Microneedling 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 exactly?

Juvederm, Restylane and other hyaluronic acids fillers are suspended in a gel carrier. This gel allows the hyaluronic acids to stay in place when injected. The hyaluronic acid works immediately by pulling in water, therefore, increasing the volume where injected. This is a great option for wrinkles, deep folds and other areas that need more volume such as cheeks and lips. These fillers dissolve naturally and can last up to one year, with some lasting even longer.

There are various HA Fillers on the market. For subtle to dramatic enhancements, we've used both Restylane HA Fillers and Juvederm. More options, customized results.

What are Neurotoxins and how can they be avoided?

Botox

and Dysport are injectable neurotoxins which can temporarily improve wrinkle appearance. Repeated muscle contractions can result in facial lines and wrinkles becoming deeper and more severe over time. Botox, Dysport and Dysport temporarily relax these muscle contractions. The skin will appear smoother.

Common treatment areas are the forehead, frown lines and Crows feet. Although results are visible in a few days following treatment, the effects will last for two weeks. If the dose is correct, results can last up to four weeks.

What is Sculptra?

Sculptra injectable is a bio stimulatory injection made from poly-L lactic acid. It gradually restores facial volume. It is injected into the skin to stimulate your natural ability to create collagen over time. The polylactic acid will be biodegraded, and replaced with a network of new collagen after several months. Treatment areas may include, temples, cheeks, nasolabial folds, and jawline. Some people require three treatments initially, then one each year. Results can last more than two years!

What is Kybella exactly?

Kybella, an injectable treatment approved for permanently eliminating fat cells, is available. 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'. Treatments can be stopped once the desired aesthetic goal was achieved.

What is a Vitamin B-12 Supplement?

Vitamin B-12, an essential vitamin, is what our body needs to function well. The injection can improve energy levels, reduce fatigue, increase metabolism, speed up metabolism, improve sleep patterns, increase concentration, improve mood, boost the immune system, to name just a few.

What is HydraFacial?

HydraFacial addresses all skin care needs with patented technology that cleans, extracts, and hydrates the skin.

HydraFacial serums are made from nourishing ingredients to give you an instant glow.

The first step involves gentle exfoliation to remove dead skin cells and reveal new layers. Next, a light chemical peel will be applied to smoothen the skin and prepare it in order for painless extractions. Next, the pores are cleaned out using painless suction and the skin is nourished. Last, antioxidants and peptides are infused into the skin to maximize the skin's glow. It is quick and easy!

What is Dermaplane and how does it work?

Dermaplaning uses a surgical-grade blade that is medical-grade to remove the skin's surface layer of dead cells, debris, and hair. A single session can remove about 2-3 weeks worth of built up dead skin cells or debris. Dermplane has no side effects and is completely painless. The procedure may seem similar to shaving but is much more efficient as the blade used can get right to the top layer. 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. In addition, the way the surgical blade cuts the hair does not create the illusion of thicker hair. This treatment is quick and painless.

What is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel refers to a treatment that uses a chemical solution to exfoliate the top layers of skin. Chemical peels can improve the skin texture and radiance. They can also reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Chemical peels are available with different strengths. Improvement in the skin varies depending on your concerns and which peel is selected to address your needs. Multiple treatments are recommended for most people to get the best results.

What is Clear + Brilliant Laser?

Clear + Brilliant Laser is based on advanced technology, but getting Clear + Brilliant treatments is simple. Clear + Brilliant treatments begin with a consultation. This is where your practitioner will determine if Clear + Brilliant treatment is right for you. From there, your practitioner can recommend a Clear + Brilliant Laser treatment regimen. There are two handpieces you can choose from, one to address issues with skin texture like fine lines/wrinkles as well as poor size and brown spots.

What is Microneedling exactly?

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

Depending on your results a series of 3 to 6 treatments may be recommended. There is minimal downtime with this procedure.

Lashes & Brows

Let's not forget about our lashes and brows! We all know by now that lashes and brows play a significant role in our overall aesthetics. Our brows and lashes are just as important as our hair. A lash tint and brow tint can cause the illusion of them being fuller and longer by coloring the hair follicles from base to tip.

A lash lift can take it to the next level. You can get a semi-permanent curl to your eyelashes that will last for as long as 6 weeks. It's time to put down the mascara and curler and get ready for a lash/brow lift and/or tint.

Are you short on time? Latisse is a great alternative! You can get your lashes darker and thicker in as little 8 weeks with this at-home treatment.

What is Medical Grade?

What is medical grade skincare you might ask? Well to start, these skincare products generally have higher active ingredient concentrations than anything you might find over the counter. That means quicker results in less time. Furthermore, over-the counter skincare products tend to be more superficial and can penetrate deeper into your skin with medical-grade skincare products. Although some products might be more expensive than those you can buy over-the-counter, you will know that you are getting top-quality products with clinically proven results.

You think that sounds wonderful? We think so too. This is why we carry three top-rated medical-grade brands of skincare: SkinCeuticals, Alastin, and SkinMedica.
