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 or Restylane are hyaluronic fillers that are suspended in gel carriers. This gel helps the injectable hyaluronic to remain in place. The hyaluronic acids immediately pulls in water and increases volume. 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. 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, injectable neurotoxins, can temporarily reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Repetitive muscle contractions can cause facial lines and wrinkles to form and get deeper over time. Botox, Dysport and Dysport temporarily relax these muscle contractions. The skin will appear smoother.
Common areas to treat include the forehead and frown lines. 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, a biostimulatory injectable made of poly-L–lactic acid, helps gradually restore facial volume. It stimulates your skin's natural ability over time to produce collagen. The polylactic acid will be biodegraded, and replaced with a network of new collagen after 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. Your results may last for more than two years.
What is Kybella, exactly?
Kybella is an approved injectable treatment that permanently eliminates fat cells. Depending upon the amount of fat present, up to five vials (or more) of Kybella might be required during one treatment session. Sometimes multiple sessions are necessary. The most common area to be treated is the submental, also known by the 'double-chin'. Treatments can be stopped once the desired aesthetic goal was achieved.
What is a Vitamin B-12 Shot and how do you use it?
Vitamin B-12 is an essential vitamin that our body requires in order to function properly. 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 and how does it work?
HydraFacial addresses all skin care needs with patented technology that cleans, extracts, and hydrates the skin.
HydraFacial super serums contain nourishing ingredients that give you a radiant glow in just a few minutes.
To reveal a new layer of skin, the first step is to cleanse and peel the skin. 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. 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 medical-grade surgical blade to remove the surface layer of dead skin, debris, and hair. A single dermaplaning session is able to remove around 2-3 weeks of built-up dead skin cells and debris from your skin. Dermplane has no side effects and is completely painless. While it looks similar to shaving, Dermplane is far more effective as the blade is able to reach the top of the skin. The hair will not grow back darker - dermaplaning targets vellus hairs (peach fuzz), which are the same size as the original. It does not appear thicker due to the way that the blade is used. This procedure is painless and requires no downtime.
What is Chemical Peel?
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 can improve skin texture and radiance as well as reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. They also help decongest and treat acne-prone skin. Chemical peels are available in three strengths: superficial, medium and deep. 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?
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. Your practitioner will recommend a Clear+Bright Laser treatment. There are two handpieces available to treat skin texture issues such as fine lines/wrinkles, poor size spots or brown spots.
What is an Insta-Glo Facial?
Insta-Glo Facials leave you radiant for days! This combination of a HydroJelly masque and an ampoule is designed to meet your specific skin needs.
First, the skin is cleansed and exfoliated. The skin is cleansed and exfoliated. Next, the ampoule can be applied. After the ampoule is applied, HydroJelly masque will be applied. The HydroJelly mask is then applied to your face. The downtime is minimal.
What is Microneedling and how can it help you?
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. This procedure involves minimal downtime.
Lashes & Brows
Let's not forget about our lashes and brows! We all know that lashes are important in our overall aesthetics. The hair on our heads is colored so why not the brows and eyelashes? 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 achieved with this procedure that can last 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.
Don't have time for a lash tint or lash extensions? Latisse can help! In as little as eight weeks, this at-home treatment can lengthen your lashes and make them thicker and darker.
What is Medical-Grade skincare?
You might be wondering what medical grade skincare is. 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. Additionally, medical-grade skincare products can penetrate your skin at a deeper layer than those that are less effective. Although certain products may be more costly than the over-the-counter options, you can rest assured that you're getting high quality products that have been clinically validated to deliver optimal results.
Sounds great, right? We think so too. We offer three of our favourite products from medical-grade skincare brands, SkinCeuticals (and SkinMedica)
