Where can I find Microneedling 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”!

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 keeps the hyaluronic ag in place. The hyaluronic acids immediately pulls in water and 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 easily and last for up to a year.

There are many HA-fillers on offer. We use Restylane and Juvederm's HA Fillers for subtle enhancements to dramatic effects. More options and customized results.

What are Neurotoxins?

Botox and Dysport, injectable neurotoxins, can temporarily reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. 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.

The forehead, frown lines and crows feet are all common areas for treatment. The results can be seen in a few days, but they will improve over the next two weeks. Results can last up four months if taken as directed.

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. The poly-L-lactic acids is gradually biodegraded over several months and replaced by a network of new collagen. The areas that may be treated include the temples, cheeks or nasolabialfolds as well as the jawline. In the beginning, most people will need three treatments spread over several months. Then they may only require one treatment every year. Your results may last for more than two years.

What is Kybella?

Kybella can be used to permanently remove fat cells. One to five Kybella vials may be required depending on the amount of fat. Multiple sessions may be required. Submental fat, also known as the 'double chin', is the most common area for treatment. Once the desired aesthetic goal has been achieved, treatment can be stopped.

What is a Vitamin B-12 Shot and how do you use it?

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 treats all skin needs. It uses patented technology to clean, extract and hydrate 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, debris from the pores is removed using painless suction. The skin is then 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 is a surgical procedure that uses a medical-grade blade to remove dead skin and other debris. A single dermaplaning session is able to remove around 2-3 weeks of built-up dead skin cells and debris from your skin. Dermplane is completely painless and non-invasive. While it looks similar to shaving, Dermplane is far more effective as the blade is able to reach the top 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 and how does it work?

Chemical peels are treatments that use a chemical solution to treat the skin's top layers. Chemical peels can help improve the skin's texture as well as radiance. Chemical peels come with a variety of strengths, including deep, medium, and superficial. There are many ways to improve your skin. It all depends on what you want and how it is applied. Multi-treatments are best for the best results.

What is Clear + Brilliant Laser and how do you define it?

Clear + Brilliant Laser is based in advanced technology. Clear + Brilliant is simple to use. Clear + Brilliant treatments start with a consultation with your skin care practitioner. This is to determine if Clear + Brilliant is the right treatment for you and to identify any potential problems. The practitioner will recommend a Clear + brilliant Laser treatment program. You have two options to choose from to address skin texture issues, such as fine lines/wrinkles or poor size or brown spot.

What is an Insta-Glo Facial, you ask?

Our signature Insta-Glo Facial will leave you glowing for days! It combines a HydroJelly masque with a custom ampoule to address your skin's needs.

The skin must be cleansed and exfoliated first. The ampoule then gets applied to the skin. The HydroJelly masque can then be applied. The HydroJelly mask is then applied to your face. This treatment has little to no downtime.

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling creates microscopic injuries to the skin and stimulates the body's natural wound healing process while minimizing cellular damage.

It may be possible to recommend a series up to six treatments depending on the results. This procedure has minimal downtime.

Lashes & Brows

Let's not forget about our lashes and brows! 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? 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.

You can make it even more dramatic with a lashlift. You can get a semi-permanent curl to your eyelashes that will last for as long as 6 weeks. You can save time and avoid using mascara and lash curlers by doing a lash/brow tint or a lash lift instead.

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