Located in the heart of Town Center Plaza, 4Ever Young Leawood is redefining what it means to age gracefully. This modern med spa, which opened last August, offers a comprehensive approach to wellness and aesthetics, blending cutting-edge treatments with personalized care to help clients feel and look their best.
For Barry Kentopp, the owner of 4Ever Young Leawood, choosing Town Center Plaza was about creating greater access to high-quality anti-aging treatments. The plaza is a central gathering place where people come for shopping, dining, and professional services. Kentopp saw it as the ideal setting to serve the community, ensuring that more people could take charge of their health and well-being.
“It was the perfect choice for our med spa, right in the heart of Johnson County,” he says.
4Ever Young prides itself on being more than a med spa. It’s a place where science meets self-care, and where clients can take charge of their aging process in a way that feels natural and empowering. Unlike traditional aesthetic services that focus solely on external beauty, 4Ever Young takes a holistic approach, offering treatments that restore vitality from the inside out.
Taking a Personal Approach
Aging is a natural process, but that doesn’t mean people have to accept fatigue, weight gain, or loss of skin elasticity as inevitable. 4Ever Young believes in listening to patients and addressing their concerns with customized treatment plans that prioritize both aesthetic enhancements and internal health. Every new client receives a complimentary consultation, with the team taking the time to develop a comprehensive health profile. This process includes bloodwork, a physical assessment, and an in-depth discussion about the client’s wellness goals.
From the moment clients walk in, they experience a high level of care and attention to detail. Open communication is key, and 4Ever Young ensures that clients have direct access to the team for any follow-up questions. The clinic also prides itself on being affordable and accessible, making it easier for people to invest in their well-being without breaking the bank.
“We believe that feeling good shouldn’t be a luxury,” Kentopp says.
Our vision is to help people. After years of researching the best treatments and techniques, we wanted to share what we’ve learned with others.

Skin Care at Top of the List
One of the primary reasons clients visit 4Ever Young Leawood is to rejuvenate their skin and enhance their natural beauty. The clinic offers a wide range of noninvasive and minimally invasive aesthetic treatments, designed to smooth wrinkles, restore lost volume, and improve skin texture. Popular services include Botox and Dysport, which help reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and dermal fillers such as Juvéderm and Restylane, which restore facial volume and provide subtle, natural-looking enhancements.
For those struggling with uneven skin tone, acne scars, or dullness, treatments like microneedling and chemical peels offer long-term improvements in skin texture and clarity. Hydrafacials have also gained popularity among clients seeking deep hydration and exfoliation while enjoying a relaxing, spalike experience.
According to Jordan Knox, a staff member at 4Ever Young Leawood, the Hydrafacial is one of the most popular treatments.
“It’s not only hydrating and exfoliating but also incredibly relaxing,” she says. “Clients love how refreshed and smooth their skin feels afterward.”
Other treatments address concerns such as hyperpigmentation, acne scars, and double chin reduction, ensuring that clients have access to the latest advancements in aesthetic medicine.
A Look at Inner Wellness
While looking great can boost confidence, true wellness starts from within. 4Ever Young integrates medical science with personalized care to address age-related changes, hormone imbalances, and nutrient deficiencies that affect energy levels, metabolism, and overall well-being. Many of the symptoms that people attribute to “just getting older” such as low energy, brain fog, decreased libido, and stubborn weight gain, are often linked to hormonal imbalances or nutritional deficiencies.
“Hormones play a critical role in how we age,” Kentopp says, so bloodwork and diagnostic testing are key components of the clinic’s approach. By analyzing hormone levels, nutrient deficiencies, and metabolic markers, the team creates targeted treatment plans that support long-term vitality.
Many clients at 4Ever Young opt for bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, which can help restore energy levels, improve mental clarity, and support overall wellness. The clinic also offers testosterone replacement therapy for men experiencing low energy and decreased muscle mass, as well as medically assisted weight loss plans that help clients shed stubborn pounds safely and effectively. Intravenous vitamin therapy, an increasingly popular service, provides essential nutrients that are quickly absorbed by the body to boost immunity, hydration, and overall well-being.
“We see so many people who come in thinking they just have to live with feeling tired all the time,” Kentopp says. “But once we identify the root cause, we can help them get back to feeling like themselves again.”
