Who We Are - AesthetiCare Medspa + Wellness AesthetiCare Medspa + Wellness

Our Story

Since 2001, AesthetiCare Medspa + Wellness has been transforming lives through advanced aesthetic treatments and comprehensive wellness services. Founded by Matt Taranto with a vision to bring world-class medical aesthetics to the Kansas City area, we’ve grown from a single location into one of the largest and most respected aesthetic centers in the country. Today, our three locations in Kansas City, Liberty and Lenexa serve thousands of clients each year with an unbroken streak of double-digit growth for 20 consecutive years.

Matt Taranto entered the field of aesthetics in 1996, opening Aesthetic Consulting Group as an independent representative for non-surgical aesthetic equipment. His expertise quickly established him as a leader in the industry, with his Midwest territory consistently ranking in the top three regions nationwide for aesthetic equipment sales. Drawing on decades of experience as an aesthetic trainer and consultant, Matt opened AesthetiCare MedSpa in 2001 with a commitment to delivering results-driven care backed by the latest technology and clinical expertise.

What began as a single clinic in the early 2000s has since evolved into a comprehensive aesthetic and wellness destination. We’ve built our reputation on a foundation of clinical excellence, personalized care and an unwavering commitment to helping each client achieve their unique aesthetic and wellness goals.

Our Commitment to Patient Care

At AesthetiCare, we believe that exceptional results demand exceptional care throughout every aspect of the patient’s experience. From your first consultation on, our team is committed to making you feel heard, understood and supported. We take time to understand your concerns, explain your options thoroughly and create customized treatment plans designed specifically for you.

Our approach combines cutting-edge technology with a personal touch. While we invest in the latest FDA-cleared devices and stay current with emerging treatment modalities, we never lose sight of the fact that each client is a unique human being with distinct concerns, motivations and goals.

We’re committed to transparency in everything we do. Our team will provide honest recommendations about which treatments are most likely to help you achieve your goals, explain what you can realistically expect from each procedure and support you throughout your healing and maintenance journey. Your trust is something we earn every day, and we take that responsibility seriously.

Our owners serve as active members at Rose Brooks’ charitable events, acting as Presenting Partners at their annual gala and donating treatment packages at event auctions.
