AESTHETICARE MEDSPA: Kansas City’s Premier Medspa

For 24 years, AesthetiCare Medspa has been an indisputable leader in innovation in the Midwest’s aesthetic and wellness industry. What began as a modest 1,100-square-foot office in Shawnee, Kansas, has flourished into a thriving enterprise with a 20,000-square-foot facility with 37 treatment rooms at their primary location on Ward Parkway and two satellite clinics in Liberty and Lenexa. Their team has grown to 70+ professionals who are committed to their craft. AesthetiCare is not only one of the largest Medspas in the country, but also a leader in cutting-edge treatments, education, and comprehensive care.


The pride and joy of AesthetiCare is their amazing staff. They believe in creating a work environment that is so positive that no one wants to leave. Their first nurse, hired nearly 25 years ago, is still with them.
At the center of AesthetiCare’s success lies its commitment to staying ahead of industry trends. Through state-of-the-art technology, expert staff, and a patient-first philosophy, they’ve ensured that Kansas City residents have access to advanced aesthetic solutions that rival and exceed those found in cities like New York or Los Angeles.


Welcoming Expertise: Dr. Richard Korentager Joins AesthetiCare
Most recently, AesthetiCare’s forward momentum continues with the addition of Dr. Richard Korentager, a board-certified plastic surgeon with decades of experience. Formerly the Chief of Plastic Surgery at KU Med, Dr. Korentager brings unparalleled expertise in both reconstructive and cosmetic procedures. His approach seamlessly combines science with artistry to deliver natural yet transformative results for patients seeking anything from subtle enhancements to significant changes.


“I was drawn to AesthetiCare because of their commitment to excellence, education, and innovation. Their patient-first philosophy and focus on cutting-edge treatments align perfectly with my own values as a surgeon. I’m excited to bring my expertise in surgical procedures to a team that is already highly respected in the field of aesthetics.” – Richard Korentager, M.D.


Dr. Korentager expands AesthetiCare’s broad menu of services by offering a range of laser, energy based and surgical treatments at AesthetiCare, including laser resurfacing, eyelid lifts (blepharoplasty), neck lifts, nano fat grafting, brow lifts, lipoma removal and small-area liposuction. He also provides consultations for facelifts, breast augmentations/lifts and tummy tucks, ensuring that clients have access to both surgical and non-surgical options tailored to their individual needs.


Bringing Global Innovations to Kansas City
The aesthetics industry evolves rapidly, but AesthetiCare consistently leads by adopting groundbreaking technologies early. This proactive, early adoption approach ensures that clients in Kansas City benefit from the advanced treatments but without the hassle and time expense of travel to larger cities.
Fortunately, aesthetic treatments have become more accepted and accessible due to advancements in technology, increased education, and social media transparency. More people realize that looking your best isn’t about vanity—it’s about confidence and self-care. More than ever, people from all walks of life are turning to aesthetic treatments to help them live the life they have wanted, unreservedly.


Advanced Non-Surgical Treatments
AesthetiCare offers over 60 non-surgical procedures designed to deliver exceptional results with minimal downtime. Some of the newest technologies include:
RF Microneedling: Combines radiofrequency energy with microneedling to tighten skin and improve texture by stimulating collagen production deep within the dermis.
Sofwave Tissue Tightening: The latest advancement in ultrasound technology for lifting and tightening skin on the face and neck without surgery or injections.
Halo Laser Resurfacing: A hybrid fractional laser that targets both surface-level imperfections and deeper skin concerns simultaneously—perfect for achieving radiant skin with reduced downtime.


Regenerative Services
AesthetiCare is also at the forefront of regenerative services, including:
Exosome Therapy: These extracellular vesicles accelerate healing, improve skin quality, and reduce inflammation after procedures like microneedling or laser resurfacing.
PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin): A next-generation treatment derived from the patient’s own blood to stimulate collagen production and rejuvenate skin naturally.
Biostimulatory Injectables: Products like Sculptra encourage the body to produce its own collagen over time, resulting in long-lasting improvements in skin elasticity and volume.

The practice has always prioritized safety in the delivery of superior services, meticulously vetting every treatment, and the excellent results they see solidify their dedication to outstanding patient care.


Comprehensive Care: Where Wellness Meets Aesthetics
AesthetiCare isn’t just about aesthetics; their wellness services are equally robust. Led by Medical Director Dr. Amy Carter, their
offerings include hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), medical weight loss programs, NAD+ therapy for anti-aging benefits, and
much more.

By combining wellness services with aesthetic treatments, they create holistic plans that address both internal health and external appearance. For example:
● Clients undergoing weight loss programs can pair their journey with Sculptra injectables or tissue-tightening devices to maintain skin elasticity.
● NAD+ therapy supports overall cellular health while complementing anti-aging treatments like exosome therapy or PRF.
This integrated approach ensures clients achieve lasting results that enhance both their confidence and overall well-being.


Education as a Cornerstone:
The Impact of Mint Aesthetics Education is deeply ingrained in AesthetiCare’s DNA—not just for their staff but for the entire industry. Through their sister company Mint Aesthetics, they’ve trained over 2,200 clinics worldwide on best practices in aesthetic medicine.
“Our clients deserve providers who prioritize safety and natural-looking results,” said Matt Taranto, co-owner of AesthetiCare. “By investing in education beyond our own team, we’re helping create a better industry overall.”
This focus on education elevates industry standards while ensuring that every client receives care from highly skilled providers who understand both the art and science of aesthetics.


Wellness Virtual Event
As part of their commitment to wellness education, AesthetiCare is hosting a Women’s Wellness Virtual Event on Wednesday, May 14th at noon during Women’s Health Week. This event will focus on hormone health and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), offering attendees an inside look at how these therapies can restore balance and vitality.
Marketing Director, Karen Cobb shared her excitement about the event: “We’re celebrating Women’s Health Week in a big way! One lucky attendee will receive a year of free hormone therapy! If you’ve been struggling with low energy, brain fog, weight changes, or other hormonal imbalances, this event is for you.” Those interested in this can’t-miss event can RSVP now at greatskinkc.com.



Trends Shaping the Future: Prejuvenation & Combination Treatments
One of the fastest-growing trends in aesthetics is prejuvenation—the idea of starting treatments early to prevent signs of aging before they appear. More clients are beginning procedures like Botox or laser facials in their 20s or 30s as part of proactive skincare routines.
Another major shift involves combination treatments that maximize results by addressing multiple concerns simultaneously:
● Pairing lasers like Halo with injectables for enhanced skin rejuvenation.
● Combining microneedling with exosome therapy for faster healing and improved outcomes.
These approaches reflect AesthetiCare’s dedication to tailoring treatments specifically for each client’s unique goals.


Advice From Industry Leaders
For other medspas looking toward long-term success, Matt Taranto offers straightforward guidance: “Invest in education; hire great people who believe in a great work environment; never compromise on technology or patient safety.” These principles have guided AesthetiCare since its inception and will undoubtedly continue driving its growth moving forward.
For patients seeking aesthetic treatments Matt Taranto advises: “Choose providers who prioritize safety above all else.
