Where can I find Hydrafacial 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 and how do they work?

Juvederm and Restylane, hyaluronic Acid fillers, are suspended within a gel carrier. This gel helps the hyaluronic acid stay in place where injected. The hyaluronic a immediately works by drawing in water. This increases the 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 naturally with most lasting at least a year. Others may last longer.

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

What are Neurotoxins exactly?

Botox, Dysport and Dysport injectable neurotoxins can temporarily improve the appearance fine lines and wrinkles. Repetitive muscle contractions can lead to facial lines and wrinkles that get deeper and deeper over time. Botox and Dysport will weaken these muscle contractions temporarily leaving the skin visibly smoother.

Common treatment areas are the forehead, frown lines and Crows feet. While results may be visible within a few days of treatment, the process will take two weeks to complete. The effects of the treatment can last for up to four months if administered correctly.

What is Sculptra, exactly?

Sculptra, a biostimulatory injectable made of poly-L–lactic acid, helps gradually restore facial volume. When injected, it stimulates your skin's natural ability gradually to make collagen. 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 is an injectable treatment approved to permanently destroy fat cells. 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. Submental fat, also known as the 'double chin', is the most common area for treatment. Treatments can be stopped once the desired aesthetic goal was achieved.

What is a HydraFacial?

HydraFacial is a revolutionary treatment that addresses all your skincare needs.

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. Then a light chemical peel is applied to help resurface the skin and prepare it for painless extractions. Next, debris is removed from the pores using painless suction while nourishing the skin. The skin is then infused with antioxidants and peptides to enhance its glow. There is absolutely no downtime.

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 session can remove about 2-3 weeks worth of built up dead skin cells or debris. Dermplane is completely pain-free and non-invasive. The technique may look similar to shaving, but it is much more effective because the blade being used is able to get right against the top layer of skin. The hair does not get darker as dermaplaning is designed to target the vellus hair, also known as peach fuzz. It will grow back the same color and size. A surgical blade does not give the illusion of thicker hair. This procedure is painless and requires no downtime.

What is 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. The results of a chemical peel will vary depending on the concerns you have and what type of treatment you choose. For most, multiple treatments are recommended to achieve the best results.

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

You may need to do a series between 3 and 6 treatments, depending on your results. This procedure involves minimal downtime.

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. Just as we color our hair, why not our eyebrows and lashes? You can create the illusion of longer lashes and brows by tinting the hair follicles.

A lash lift can take it to the next level. Semi permanent curls can be achieved with this procedure that can last for up to six weeks. Don't use mascara or curler on your lashes. Instead, save your time by using a lash/brow pigment and/or lash lifting.

Have a tight schedule? 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?

What is medical grade skincare you might ask? These skincare products have higher active ingredients than what you would find in the store. That means quicker results in less time. Also, medical-grade products penetrate skin deeper than over-the-counter products. While some products may cost more than others, you'll know that the products you purchase are high-quality and have been clinically tested to ensure optimal results.

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