Where can I find Dermaplane 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, Restylane and other hyaluronic acids fillers are suspended in a gel carrier. This gel keeps the hyaluronic ag in place. The hyaluronic- acid immediately pulls in water. In this way, it increases volume. This is great for moderate to deeper wrinkles and folds of the face or areas where more volume is desired like cheeks or lips. These fillers dissolve easily and last for up to a year.

There are many HA Fillers available. We use Restylane and Juvederm's HA Fillers for subtle enhancements to dramatic effects. More options. Customized results.

What are Neurotoxins, exactly?

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 will weaken these muscle contractions temporarily leaving the skin visibly smoother.

Common areas of treatment include forehead, frown lines, crows' feet, and the chin. The results can be seen in a few days, but they will improve over the next two weeks. When dosed appropriately results may last up to four months.

What is Sculptra exactly?

Sculptra uses poly-L lactic acids to slowly restore facial volume. It is injected into the skin to stimulate your natural ability to create collagen over time. 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 initially will require three treatments over a couple of months and then just one treatment annually. Your results may last for more than two years.

What is Kybella exactly?

Kybella can be used to permanently remove fat cells.

What is HydraFacial exactly?

HydraFacial uses patented technology for all skincare needs.

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

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, debris from the pores is removed using painless suction. The skin is then nourished. The skin is then infused with antioxidants and peptides to enhance its glow. The best thing is that there is 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 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. A surgical blade does not give the illusion of thicker hair. This treatment does not require downtime.

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 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 come in superficial, medium, and deep strengths. There are many ways to improve your skin. It all depends on what you want and how it is applied. For most, multiple treatments are recommended to achieve the best results.

Lashes & Brows?

We can't forget our brows and lashes! As we all know, lashes and eyebrows are a major part of 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.

Take it up a notch with a lash lift. This can add a semi permanent curl to your lashes that can last up to 6 weeks. Don't use mascara or curler on your lashes. Instead, save your time by using a lash/brow pigment and/or lash lifting.

You don't have the time to do lash extensions or lash tints? Latisse is a great alternative! This daily at-home treatment can make your lashes longer, thicker, and darker in as little as 8 weeks.
