Although a few of our cosmetic procedures are performed at Kansas City Dermatology, P.A. and Kansas City DermaSpa the majority of cosmetic dermasurgical procedures and cosmetic laser procedures are performed personally by Dr. McCune at Kansas City Laser and Dermasurgery Center, P.A.
Fillers are used to treat wrinkles, restore facial volume, and to enhance and augment lips. Dr. McCune has over 28 years of experience in injecting dermal fillers. Experience you can trust.
The different fillers used in our office are:
Restylane®, Perlane® and Juvaderm® Ultra and Ultra Plus are FDA approved injectable hyaluronic acid gels that are helpful to soften lines, wrinkles, and scars. They are safe, effective, and longer lasting than collagen.
No skin test is required. Same day treatment is available. Immediate results are visible. Achieve longer lasting results: 4-6 months. Possibly one year or longer.

Loss of deep facial tissue volume occurs as we age. This allows the face to “deflate” resulting in a thin, hollow appearance over the temples, flattening of the eyebrow ridges with drooping, hollowness under the eyes giving a tired look, flattening of the cheek bones with sagging, deepening of the smile lines, and hollowness around the mouth producing collapse of the lips and a “skeletal” appearance. Fat loss over the back of the hands produces hollowness highlighting the appearance of the tendons and bones.
Skin volumizers can counter this deflation of the skin making your appearance youthful again. The volumizers we use are:
Sculptra and Sculptra Aesthetic are injectable FDA approved products for enhancement of facial volume in HIV positive patients with facial wasting and in aesthetic patients with facial volume loss respectively. The active agent is poly-L-lactic acid which acts as a collagen biostimulator. Turning on new collagen synthesis results in soft tissue volumetric enhancement producing a more youthful face. Results have been proven to last 18 to 24 months and possibly longer. Dr. McCune is a national trainer for these two products – a testimonial to his knowledge and expertise.
Fat can be harvested from selected body sites and reinjected into the face and hands to restore the volume of youth and “reinflate” the skin. The results are dramatic and long-lasting. In many instances, revolumizing the face lifts the brows and cheeks producing a mini-face lift like effect. Treatment can be performed under local anesthesia alone or with intravenous sedation.
Back to topDr. McCune was trained personally by the inventor of this technique, Dr. Roger Amar, a French plastic surgeon. He traveled to Dr. Amar's plastic surgery office in Marbella, Spain to receive one-on-one training by the master. In the FAMI technique, fat is harvested and specially processed before being transferred into or in close proximity to the muscles of facial expression. This restores lost volume and increases muscle tone producing a youthful appearance. Results can last five years or longer.
Back to topThis technique involves the placement of fat into the fatty tissues of the face and hands. Results are similar to FAMI, but may not last as long. This technique is used to restore volume to the lips and hands.
Back to topTotal Facial Rebalancing
FAMI and Fat Autograft Transfer can be combined with liposculpture to rebalance the face. Lost fat can be replaced restoring volume. Excessive fat that develops in the jowls and over the neck can be removed with liposculpture. The end result is a balanced, volumized youthful appearance.
This novel technology is a painless inexpensive way to rejuvenate the skin. A flashing panel of yellow light emitting diodes (LED’s) signals the collagen and elastin producing cells in the skin (fibroblasts) to become energized. This causes the fibroblasts to start manufacturing new collagen and elastin in the dermis. Benefits include improved skin smoothness and texture, reduction in fine lines, and a return of the “healthy glow” to your skin. Brown splotchy discoloration may fade as well.
An exciting extra benefit is that GentleWaves® Photomodulation has been proven to help diminish damage to the skin produced by injuries from acute sunburn, smoking, and other environment injuries. GentleWaves® treatment to an acute sunburn can rapidly eliminate redness and tenderness. Peeling may be eliminated. Less photodamage is produced in the epidermis and dermis. Photoaging can be minimized whether used as an “emergency treatment” for sunburn, a preventative maintenance therapy for the active outdoor lifestyle, or as an active rejuvenator of photodamage you have already developed. GentleWaves® Photomodulation can help you have healthier and nicer looking skin now and in the future.
Finally, GentleWaves® treatment immediately following many of the Juvescence procedures will enhance the visible benefits these procedures can create.
Why wait to try this painless, no downtime, and extremely affordable treatment?

Using very small instruments (microcannulas), liposculpture is a safe procedure to reshape your silhouette. It removes unwanted diet and exercise resistant fat from the face, neck, arms, abdomen, flanks,chest, neck, waistline, buttocks, thighs, calves, and ankles. You will have a few days of downtime and be back to work and your exercise routine before you know it.
Liposculpture is performed under tumescent local anesthesia. Developed in 1985 by Jeffery Klein, M.D., a dermasurgeon, this local anesthetic technique is proven to be the safest way to undergo liposuction – whether in an office-based facility, an ambulatory surgical center, or a hospital. Small microcannulas are inserted into tiny skin incisions through which fat is removed with a vacuum device to permanently change your body silhouette.
Liposculpture – tumescent technique can also be performed under intravenous “twilight” conscious sedation administered by Carol Russell, CRNA in our office-based surgical suite. This provides you with a painless and safe surgical experience without anxiety or awareness.
Dr. McCune was one of the first to offer Thermage® treatments to the Kansas City area. He was been selected by the Thermage® company to train other physicians in the procedure.
Thermage® is a FDA approved device that tightens and tones the skin without invasive surgery. It utilizes a high energy radiofrequency generator to create heat in the superficial and deep collagen layers of the skin and underlying fat. This allows the skin to tighten and recontour across treated sites in a three-dimensional fashion. The skin surface is usually not affected producing a no or minimal downtime procedure. The incidence of side effects is rare (less than 4 out of 10,000 procedures), and the safety is high.
Although not as aggressive as invasive lifting procedures, over 90% of patients achieve a positive result after a single Thermage® treatment. The degree of improvement may vary widely and is very unpredictable. Some patients have great results while others experience little or no improvement. Improvement is gradual over 4-6 months. Additional treatments can additively enhance results.
The newest innovation in radiofrequency non-invasive tissue tightening is now available at Kansas City Laser and Dermasurgery Center, P.A. – The Thermage® CPT device. This remarkable advancement in Thermage® technology allows deeper tissue heating with no to mild discomfort. Thermage is FDA approved for treatments of the face, eyelids, and non-facial sites (neck, arms, waist, abdomen, flanks, buttocks, thighs) for non-invasive tissue tightening.

Trichloroacetic peels are used in different strengths to produce different effects.
A superficial peel using lactic acid and resorcinol combined with a finishing application of retinoic acid. Very helpful for acne, mild photodamage, and melasma. There will be a 4-5 day period of visible skin peeling.

Tired of having “old looking” hands? Our Juvescence™ treatments can erase the “age spots” and restore volume to rejuvenate your hands.
A superficial Erbium YAG laser micropeel with the Sciton Profile laser that renews the epidermis without significant downtime.
A revolutionary laser that combines the benefits of an aggressive ablative laser treatment with the benefits of no visible wounding and no to minimal downtime. This non-ablative laser rehabilitates the skin surface (lightens brown age spots) and remodels, thickens, and tightens the underlying collagen layer.
This laser effectively lightens and removes brown age spots and large freckles leaving brown “curling iron burn” like crusts that spontaneously shed off in 14-18 days. Highly effective as a stand-alone procedure or as a combination treatment.
Fat harvested from another body site is injected into the hollow areas of the backs of the hands restoring volume and enhancing youthfulness.
Injectable poly-L-lactic acid simulates your own collagen to fill in the hollownes backs of the hands. Helps turn back the clock on those “old looking” hands.
