About
Where trusted aesthetic providers give the highest level of treatment care
Welcome to SOKO Aesthetics & Wellness in Leawood, KS, a premier med spa located in Leawood, KS — proudly serving Overland Park and the entire Kansas City metro. Our nurse-led team of highly-trained injectors, experienced estheticians, and skincare specialists is dedicated to helping you look and feel your best. From injectables to advanced skin laser and wellness treatments, SOKO combines personalized care with clinical excellence in a space where luxury meets results. SOKO comes from the Japanese word soko (そこ), meaning “there” or “that place.” We chose it to express our goal of being The Place you trust for aesthetics and wellness. While we’re not a Japanese company, we’re inspired by Japanese design sensibilities—simplicity, natural materials, and attention to detail—which show up in our space, our treatment approach, and our clear, transparent pricing.
