What Aestheticare does

AesthetiCare Medspa + Wellness is a privately held, founder-owned medical spa founded in 2001 by Matt Taranto in Kansas City. The company operates four clinical locations across the Kansas City metropolitan area (Ward Parkway/Missouri headquarters, Liberty/Missouri, Lenexa/Kansas, and Overland Park/Kansas), delivering a portfolio of more than 70 FDA-approved aesthetic treatments spanning body contouring (CoolSculpting Elite, Emsculpt Neo, Kybella, Avéli, Sculptra Butt Lift), skin rejuvenation (Halo Laser, Moxi, BBL, HydraFacial, chemical peels, microneedling, Genius, Sofwave, Ultherapy, Plasma Pen), injectables (Botox, Dysport, Daxxify, dermal fillers, Sculptra, PRP, Skinvive), and wellness services (hormone therapy, weight loss, NAD+ therapy, sexual wellness, gut health). In 2025, the practice added plastic surgery services via board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Richard Korentager. Clinical staff includes 39 licensed aestheticians and registered nurses with 450+ combined years of experience, supported by $60,000 in annual continuing-education investment and a medical advisory board that includes nationally known dermatologists and plastic surgeons.

The company's go-to-market is direct-to-consumer across the Kansas City metro, supported by in-person and virtual consultations, an online retail storefront for medical-grade skincare (Revision Skincare and others), and a multi-channel marketing mix (organic social, influencer partnerships, bridal programs, community events, and earned media in outlets including Vogue, Elle, Allure, and Good Morning America). Pricing is quote-based, with a free initial consultation and CareCredit consumer financing. A second revenue stream operates through Mint Aesthetics, a wholly-owned national training facility founded in 2014 that has trained over 2,500 clinics across North America on devices and practice management. AesthetiCare holds top-tier vendor status with Sciton (Diamond Level; #1 global Halo and Moxi provider), Allergan Aesthetics (Top 1% account across 42,000+ U.S. practices), HydraFacial (Top 10 Icon Account in North America), CoolSculpting (#1 Midwest), Revision Skincare, and miraDry. The company has reported 17 consecutive years of double-digit growth and has been recognized as a Top 10 Med Spa in the US by the American Medical Spa Association and as a World's Leading Clinic.
