Where can I find Facial treatments 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 and Restylane are hyaluronic acid fillers suspended in a gel carrier. This gel helps the injection of hyaluronic Acid stay in its place. The hyaluronic acids immediately pulls in water and 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 easily and last for up to a year.

There are many HA Fillers available. To deliver dramatic enhancements, we use Restylane as well as Juvederm. You have more options and can get customized results.

What are Neurotoxins?

Botox

and Dysport are injectable neurotoxins which can temporarily improve wrinkle appearance. Repetitive muscle contractions can cause facial lines and wrinkles to form and get deeper over time. Botox and Dysport temporarily reduce muscle contractions. This will make the skin look smoother.

Common areas of treatment include forehead, frown lines, crows' feet, and the chin. While results may be visible within a few days of treatment, the process will take two weeks to complete. If the dose is correct, results can last up to four weeks.

What is sculpture?

Sculptra is a bio-stimulatory injectable that contains poly-L-lactic Acid. It helps to gradually restore facial volume. When injected, it stimulates your skin's natural ability gradually to make collagen. Over several months, the poly-L-lactic acid is biodegraded and replaced with a meshwork of new collagen. Treatment areas may include, temples, cheeks, nasolabial folds, and jawline. The majority of patients will need three treatments in the first few months, followed by one annual treatment. These results can last longer than two years.

What is Kybella, exactly?

Kybella is an approved injectable treatment that permanently eliminates fat cells. One to five Kybella vials may be required depending on the amount of fat. Multiple sessions may be required. The most common area to be treated is the submental, also known by the 'double-chin'. Treatments can stop once a desired aesthetic goal has been reached.

What is a Vitamin B-12 shot?

Vitamin B-12 is an essential vitamin our bodies require to function properly. This injection could help improve energy, decrease fatigue, speed metabolism, improve sleep patterns and increase concentration. It may also boost immunity.

What is a HydraFacial?

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 involves gently exfoliating the skin and cleansing it. The skin is then treated with a mild chemical peel to improve its surface and prepare for painless removals. Next, the pores are cleaned out using painless suction and the skin is nourished. The skin is then infused with antioxidants and peptides to enhance its glow. The best part is there is no downtime!

What is Dermaplane?

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 of Dermaplaning can remove 2-3 weeks of buildup from the skin's dead skin cells. Dermplane does not require any pain and is non-invasive. Although it may look like shaving, dermplane is more efficient because the blade can reach the top layer of the skin. The hair will not grow back darker - dermaplaning targets vellus hairs (peach fuzz), which are the same size as the original. The way the surgeon cuts hair doesn't create thicker hair. This treatment does not require downtime.

What is a Chemical Peel?

Chemical peels are treatments that use a chemical solution to treat the skin's top layers. 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 come with a variety of strengths, including deep, medium, and superficial. You can see a difference in your skin depending on your concerns, and which peel you choose to address them. To achieve the best results, it is advisable to use multiple treatments.

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 starts with a consultation. This allows you to discuss your concerns and determine whether Clear + Brilliant is right to treat them. From there, your practitioner can recommend a Clear + Brilliant Laser treatment regimen. 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. It's a combination of a HydroJelly mask and a custom-made ampoule. This is the perfect treatment for your skin.

First, the skin is cleansed and exfoliated. 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 HydroJelly mask is then applied to your face. This treatment requires very little or no downtime.

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling causes microscopic skin injuries and stimulates the body’s natural wound healing process. It also minimizes cellular damage.

It may be possible to recommend a series up to six treatments depending on the results. There is minimal downtime with this procedure.

Lashes & Brows

Our brows and lashes are important! We all know that our lashes, and brows, play an important role in our overall aesthetic. Our brows and lashes are just as important as our hair. The illusion of a fuller brow or lash tint can make them appear longer and fuller by coloring the hair follicles, from tip to base.

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. This will save you time, and allow you to get ready with a lash/brow color and/or lashlift.

Don't have time for a lash tint or lash extensions? Try some Latisse! You can grow your lashes thicker, longer and darker with this daily home treatment in just 8 weeks.

What is Medical Grade Skincare?

You may be asking what medical grade skincare is. First, medical-grade skincare products are more concentrated than any other brands. That means quicker results in less time. Medical-grade skincare products can penetrate the skin deeper than other products, which is a big advantage over cheaper, more superficial products. Even though some products are more expensive than the ones you might find at the store, you still know that you are purchasing high-quality products that have been clinically evaluated to produce optimal results.

That sounds amazing, right? We agree. You'll see that we have our top picks from three medical-grade skincare brands: SkinCeuticals and SkinMedica.
