Matt Taranto

Matt Taranto, CLT, is a certified laser technician, aesthetic trainer, and the co-founder and co-owner of AesthetiCare MedSpa and MINT Aesthetics in Kansas City. He has been in the aesthetic industry for nearly 30 years. Matt entered the field in 1996, opening Aesthetic Consulting Group as an independent rep for nonsurgical aesthetic equipment, developing a Midwest territory that was consistently in the top 3 regions nationally. In 2001, he opened AesthetiCare MedSpa, which has grown from a 1,000 square foot space with two employees to a medspa empire with four locations across the Kansas City metro (Ward Parkway, Leawood, Liberty, and Lenexa), over 40 employees, and more than $16 million in annual revenue. AesthetiCare has experienced double-digit growth for over 20 consecutive years and has been named one of the top 10 medspas in the United States by the American Medical Spa Association. The practice was the first in the world to offer the Sciton Halo Laser and has performed more Halo and BBL treatments than any other clinic globally. AesthetiCare is an Allergan top 1% account nationwide and the number one provider of Botox, Dysport, dermal fillers, and CoolSculpting in the Kansas City area. In 2014, Matt and his wife Kathy transformed their consulting business into MINT Aesthetics, a full-service training and consulting firm that has worked with over 2,000 clinics in North America. Matt and Kathy have presented at hundreds of aesthetic conferences and are recognized nationally as leaders in medspa business development and laser training. AesthetiCare owns over 70 FDA-approved treatment devices, more than any other medspa in the Midwest.
