Midwest Medical Aesthetics Center was the first free standing medical aesthetics facility to be established in the metropolitan Kansas City area. MMAC remains the most comprehensive and state-of-art cosmetic surgery facility in this area. If looking and feeling better about yourself is your goal, Midwest Medical Aesthetics should be your destination!

MMAC's president, Kathleen Stegman, RN, M.A., started Midwest 17 years ago. She was the first to offer microdermabrasion and laser hair removal in Kansas City. She has trained extensively on every type of "looking good" technology that is developed and continues to lead the way in Kansas City with all of the new innovative procedures that are being developed. Kathleen holds an undergraduate degree in business management, a masters degree in marketing and holds an RN license in both Kansas and Missouri. Kathleen is the highest volume injector of Botox and wrinkle filler materials in this city. With 11 years of experience in injections, Kathleen is the #1 choice for people wanting to get rid of wrinkles, plump of the lips or volumize the face. Kathleen is known for her "injection facelift" techniques. Her motto is "give me 45 minutes and I will take off 15 years!" Kathleen is the "go to" person for a personal consultation on how to look your best. With 17 years experience in this field, she can assess your face and body and give you a great objective opinion of how to look your very best.

Kathleen also offers consultations for Hair Restoration using the new "low level cool laser therapy" that stimulates the follicles to grow new hair and also make existing hair thicker and have more shine. If you are beginning to see signs of thinner hair, have balding spots, have chemically treated hair or just want
a fuller head of hair, this is the treatment. Both men and women can utilize this treatment to have the hair they have always dreamed of!
