25 Years of Innovation in Healthcare

Kansas Medical Clinic (KMC) has been a leader in healthcare innovation for over 25 years, providing patients with cutting-edge treatments across 11 locations in Kansas and Missouri. Specializing in Dermatology, Hair Restoration, MedSpa Services, and Gastroenterology, KMC is renowned for delivering exceptional care and pioneering treatments. In 2022, KMC relocated their Dermatology, MedSpa, and Hair Center from Shawnee to Mission, Kansas, to better serve their expanding patient base. The Mission location now offers a wider range of services, making it more accessible for patients to receive state-of-the-art care.

KMC stands out by offering a comprehensive range of services for skin, hair, and nails, including specialized procedures like Mohs Micrographic Surgery. This highly effective technique for skin cancer treatment achieves a 96-99% cure rate, making it the gold standard, especially in cosmetically sensitive areas like the face and hands.

In addition to dermatology, KMC provides advanced hair loss treatments, including Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy and robotic hair transplants, options not commonly found at other local clinics. Their expertise extends to comprehensive patch testing for skin allergies and ultraviolet (UV) light therapy for various skin conditions. These unique services position KMC as a regional leader in specialized medical care.

Commitment to Patient Care

At KMC, patient care is at the forefront. The dermatology team, with decades of combined experience, prioritizes patient satisfaction by treating each patient with the same care they would with their own family. As part of their commitment to community health, KMC offers free skin cancer screenings to promote early detection and prevention. These efforts align with the clinic’s mission to enhance patient outcomes and improve the overall health of the communities they serve.

Dermatology Services at KMC Mission

Kansas Medical Clinic’s Mission location offers a wide range of dermatology services, including Mohs Micrographic Surgery and patch testing for skin allergies.

Mohs Micrographic Surgery is a highly specialized procedure that allows for the precise removal of large skin cancers while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible. This makes it especially valuable for treating cancers in areas like the face, where maintaining appearance is important.

Patch testing is another significant service offered at KMC. This testing is used to identify allergens that cause delayed skin reactions, such as allergic contact dermatitis. Patients undergoing patch testing visit the clinic for a series of appointments during which strips of tape that contain potential allergens are applied to the skin. Their reactions are observed over two intervals, each lasting 48 to 72 hours, to identify which substances are causing irritation. If a reaction is discovered, the clinic offers patients a list of specific products that are deemed both safe and unsafe to use. KMC’s arsenal of allergens is the most extensive in the area, allowing for thorough testing and more accurate diagnoses.

The Importance of Regular Skin Check-Ups

Regular skin check-ups play a crucial role in early detection and treatment of skin conditions. KMC encourages patients to schedule annual skin cancer screenings and to have any non-healing sores or growing lesions examined as soon as possible. Individuals who have had skin cancer or pre-cancerous lesions in the past are particularly at risk of developing new ones in the future, so regular check-ups are essential for their continued health.

While prevention is best, early detection is next. Early detection is key to successful treatment, especially when it comes to melanoma. When melanoma is caught early, the five-year survival rate is as high as 99 percent. By scheduling routine screenings, patients can take proactive steps to protect their skin and overall health.

Hair Loss Treatments at KMC

In addition to their dermatology services, Kansas Medical Clinic offers a variety of hair loss treatments, both surgical and non-surgical. Among the most popular non-surgical options is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, a treatment that uses a patient’s own blood to stimulate hair growth. Originally developed for orthopedic applications, PRP has now become widely used for facial rejuvenation, while also being a highly effective treatment option for hair loss. It is most commonly used to treat androgenetic alopecia and female pattern hair loss.

PRP injections are not only safe but also effective and steroid-sparing, making them an appealing option for many patients. Studies have shown that PRP can increase the number of dermal papilla cells, which are responsible for hair growth and commonly decreased in individuals that are balding. By stimulating these cells, PRP promotes healthier and stronger hair growth.

Another innovative treatment offered at KMC is Exosome Therapy, which uses stem cell exosomes to regenerate hair follicles and encourage new hair growth. Due to their small size, exosomes are thought to penetrate deep within the targeted tissue when injected. They carry instructions for cell regeneration and stimulate the targeted tissue, making them a promising option for patients with alopecia.

Intralesional Kenalog Injections are another service available at KMC. These steroid injections are injected directly into the skin where hair loss is present. These are typically used for patients with Alopecia Areata, Lichen Planopilaris, Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and Discoid Lupus. Kenalog injections help slow the progression of hair loss in individuals whose immune system attacks their hair follicles. They are not effective for treating conditions such as male or female pattern hair loss, Telogen Effluvium, or advanced Traction Alopecia.

For those seeking a more permanent solution, KMC offers the ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplant, a cutting-edge procedure that combines robotic technology with precision to deliver natural-looking results. Unlike traditional hair transplants, ARTAS leaves no linear scars, and patients can expect minimal downtime and discomfort. This advanced technology ensures healthier grafts and improved hair density, making it an ideal choice for individuals looking to restore their hairline and boost their confidence.

PRP Injections Across Multiple Locations

In response to the growing demand for PRP therapy, Kansas Medical Clinic has expanded their PRP services to multiple locations. This expansion ensures that more patients across Kansas and Missouri can access this effective treatment for both hair loss and dermatological issues. With a team of highly qualified providers trained in PRP, KMC continues to offer patients the latest in regenerative medicine.

Building Long-Lasting Patient Relationships

At Kansas Medical Clinic, the focus is not just on delivering exceptional medical care but also on building long-lasting relationships with patients. KMC’s board-certified dermatologists strive to make every patient feel comfortable and well-cared for during each visit. Their dedication to professionalism and providing positive bedside manners are key characteristics of KMC’s approach to patient care.

By fostering trust and maintaining open communication, KMC ensures that patients feel confident in the care they receive. This commitment to patient well-being is reflected in the clinic’s long-standing reputation for excellence and their continued efforts to provide top-tier healthcare services.
