Overview
Custom medical grade facials target skin concerns that over-the-counter products and basic spa facials can't reach. These treatments use professional-strength ingredients and techniques tailored to each client's skin type, whether that means addressing dullness, texture, breakouts, or early signs of aging. At KC Skin & Wellness, treatments start at $150 and are customized during your visit rather than following a one-size-fits-all protocol.
This service works well for clients who want a deeper result than a drugstore routine can deliver, but aren't ready for more invasive procedures. People managing congested pores, uneven tone, or dry, stressed skin often see the most noticeable improvement. Individual results vary, and a consultation is required to determine which approach fits your skin and your goals.
KC Skin & Wellness serves clients throughout the Kansas City, MO area. Treatments are performed under the license of Dr. Rhea Rogers, MD, and licensed esthetician Amber Lockard, with training backed by CIDESCO, AmSpa, and IFAAS certification. That combination of medical oversight and esthetic expertise is part of what separates a medical grade facial from a standard spa service.
Same-day appointments may be available depending on the week, with hours Monday through Friday and Saturday by appointment. Book a consultation to talk through your skin's current condition and whether a custom medical grade facial is the right next step.
What to expect
What happens during your first consultation?. Your visit starts with a one-on-one conversation about your skin goals, concerns, and medical history. A licensed provider at KC Skin & Wellness examines your skin type and condition before recommending an approach. Individual results vary, and this consultation is required to determine whether a Custom Medical Grade Facial is appropriate for you.
How is the facial customized to your skin?. Based on your consultation, your provider builds a treatment plan using medical-grade products matched to your skin's needs. You'll review the recommended steps and ask questions before anything begins. Pricing for Custom Medical Grade Facials starts at $150 and reflects the level of customization involved.
What happens during the treatment itself?. Your provider performs the facial in stages, addressing cleansing, exfoliation, and any targeted concerns identified during your consultation. You relax while the provider works through each step of your personalized plan. KC Skin & Wellness providers are licensed in Missouri, including Dr. Rhea Rogers, MD, and Amber Lockard, LE.
What aftercare guidance will you receive?. Before you leave, your provider walks you through any homecare steps to support your skin after treatment. You're given the chance to ask about product use or what to expect over the following days. KC Skin & Wellness holds CIDESCO, AmSpa, and IFAAS certifications that inform how treatments and aftercare guidance are delivered.
How do you schedule a follow-up visit?. If ongoing facials fit your skin goals, your provider can discuss a schedule that works for you at your next visit. Appointments at KC Skin & Wellness's Kansas City location are available Monday through Friday, 10am to 6pm, with Saturday appointments by request. Same-day scheduling may be available depending on the day.
Who it suits
Custom Medical Grade Facials at KC Skin & Wellness are built around each client's skin, so the goals they address vary widely. Clients often come in with concerns like dullness, uneven texture, clogged pores, dryness, or early signs of aging. Others want a treatment that targets a specific issue while fitting into regular skin maintenance.
Because each facial is customized, the approach can be adjusted for different skin types and sensitivities. That said, certain skin conditions, active breakouts, recent sun exposure, or other factors may mean a client needs to wait before treatment or would benefit from a different approach altogether. Pregnancy, certain medications, and recent procedures are also common reasons a provider may recommend modifying or postponing a facial.
None of this can be sorted out from a service description alone. Skin changes, medical history matters, and what worked for one client may not suit another.
That's why every Custom Medical Grade Facial at KC Skin & Wellness starts with a consultation. A provider will review your skin, your history, and your goals to determine whether this treatment is the right fit for you, and individual results vary from client to client.
Aftercare
After your custom medical grade facial, your skin may look flushed or feel warm for a bit. Some mild redness, tightness, or sensitivity is common, especially if your treatment included extractions or active ingredients tailored to your skin's needs.
In the days that follow, keep your skin protected from direct sun exposure and avoid picking at any areas that feel dry or flaky. Stick to gentle, fragrance-free products while your skin settles, and skip harsh exfoliants or actives until your provider says it's fine to reintroduce them. Staying hydrated and avoiding excessive heat (saunas, hot showers, strenuous workouts) can also help your skin recover smoothly.
Every client's skin responds differently, which is why your provider at KC Skin & Wellness will give you personalized aftercare instructions based on your specific facial and skin type. Those individual instructions always take priority over any general guidance you read here or elsewhere.
If you notice anything concerning after your treatment, whether it's unusual irritation, prolonged redness, or anything that doesn't feel right, contact our Kansas City location at (816) 768-1778. Individual results vary, and a consultation is required to determine whether a treatment is appropriate for you.

Questions
What actually happens during a custom medical grade facial?
A licensed esthetician evaluates your skin and builds a treatment plan around your specific concerns, whether that's texture, tone, breakouts, or early signs of aging. Medical grade products and techniques are used instead of the generic, one-size-fits-all approach you'd get at a typical spa facial. A consultation determines which products and techniques fit your skin.
How long does a facial appointment take?
Appointment length depends on the treatment plan built for your skin and any add-ons included, like extractions or specialized masks. Because each facial is customized, your esthetician can give you a realistic time estimate once your consultation is complete and your treatment plan is set.
How do I know if I need this instead of a regular facial?
If you're dealing with persistent breakouts, uneven texture, dullness, or concerns that haven't improved with basic skincare, a custom medical grade facial targets those issues more directly than a standard spa facial. A consultation is the best way to find out which approach fits your skin and what results you can realistically expect.
What affects the cost of a custom facial?
Pricing starts at $150 and goes up based on the products used, the specific concerns being addressed, and any add-on treatments included in your session. Your esthetician will walk you through the recommended plan and what it costs during your consultation, so there are no surprises when you book.
How should I prepare before my appointment?
Skip retinoids or exfoliating acids for a few days before your visit and avoid heavy sun exposure, since both can make your skin more reactive during treatment. Let your esthetician know about any medications, skin conditions, or recent treatments during your consultation so the facial can be adjusted to your skin that day.
Is this facial safe for every skin type?
Custom medical grade facials are designed to be adjusted for different skin types and concerns, but individual results vary from person to person. A consultation with our team is required to determine whether this treatment is the right fit for your skin before any service is performed.
