MD Aesthetics

MD Aesthetics runs two offices in the Greater Kansas City area: one in Overland Park, Kansas, and one in the Northland, Kansas City, Missouri, located between Zona Rosa and Liberty. The practice says its physicians perform every aesthetic treatment, and its Botox by Doctor page cites more than 20 years of experience in the area.

The menu centers on injectables. Botox, Dysport, and Daxxify are all botulinum toxin type A products that differ slightly in their added ingredients and proteins, and they are used on forehead lines, glabella lines, crow's feet, and to create a brow lift. Each visit usually takes about 30 minutes, and the first visit is followed by treatments of roughly 15 to 20 minutes with no downtime. The practice says its Botox, Dysport, and Daxxify by Doctor visits carry no hidden or membership fees, offers special rates for return visits, includes complimentary touchups, and backs these three treatments with a money-back guarantee if the treatment does not deliver results.

Filler and biostimulant options cover a wider set of areas. Facial fillers are gel-like substances placed beneath the skin to soften lines and folds or add volume, and they are commonly used on the cheeks, smile lines, marionette lines, lips, under-eye hollows, chin, nose, and smoker lines. Some areas, such as the lips, may be treated with fine microcannulas rather than needles to reduce bruising. Sculptra, a poly-L-lactic acid injectable that the business says is FDA-approved, works by encouraging the body to build its own collagen over time, so results develop gradually. A clinical study cited by the practice reported effects lasting up to two years after the first session in most patients. Sculptra is most often used on cheeks, temples, jawlines, and jowls. Kybella, another FDA-approved injectable according to the business, is designed to improve the appearance of a double chin; its active ingredient, deoxycholic acid, breaks down fat cells that the body then clears. Treatments take about 15 minutes, and at least two sessions are typically recommended.

Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing is offered for skin texture, the appearance of sun damage, and elasticity. Afterward, skin may look red like a sunburn and typically heals over a few days.

Every aesthetic treatment is performed by a physician, and the practice emphasizes physician-led care over a more general spa-style approach.
