Orchid Aesthetics and Wellness in Lee’s Summit believes that true transformation starts from within. Through personalized bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), Orchid helps clients reclaim energy, clarity, and confidence by addressing the root causes of hormonal imbalance, all within a professional, physician-led environment.
Founded by Dr. M. Aaron Mehrer, a board-certified anesthesiologist with over a decade of experience in aesthetics, Orchid Aesthetics and Wellness opened in late 2019 with a mission to combine advanced aesthetic services with a personalized, medical approach to whole-body wellness.
“As a physician, I’m drawn to providing hormone therapy because I’ve seen firsthand how hormone imbalances can silently impact nearly every aspect of a person’s well-being, from energy levels and sleep to mood, weight, and even relationships,” says Dr. Mehrer. “Bio-identical hormone therapy allows me and my staff to offer a personalized, science-based approach that doesn’t just treat symptoms, but helps restore balance and quality of life. I’m passionate about helping patients feel like themselves again. That kind of transformation is incredibly rewarding to be part of.”
As we age, our natural hormone levels decline. For some, this happens gradually, but for others, the effects can be overwhelming. Common symptoms of hormone imbalance include fatigue, weight gain, poor sleep, brain fog, declining sexual health, and mood swings. Unfortunately, many people accept these changes as inevitable — or worse, go undiagnosed.
That’s where BHRT comes in. Using hormones that are chemically identical to those produced by the body, Orchid’s team provides customized treatments that restore balance safely and effectively. Unlike synthetic hormone therapies, bio-identical hormones are typically better tolerated and offer a more natural solution to hormone-related issues in both men and women.
"We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. Every treatment is based on comprehensive lab testing, a deep dive into your symptoms, and your personal health goals. We only use bio-identical hormones that are chemically identical to the body’s own that are safer and better tolerated than synthetic alternatives.”
Orchid’s team doesn’t stop at hormones. Clients also receive education and support around nutrition, stress management, weight loss, and fitness, all designed to maximize the benefits of BHRT and support long-term wellness.
“All treatments are guided by experienced medical professionals. We track your progress and adjust your therapy regularly to ensure your body stays in balance. We offer lifestyle education to maximize hormone therapy results by combining BHRT with nutrition coaching, stress management, weight loss plans, and fitness recommendations.”
The benefits of hormone optimization are often life-changing. Clients report deeper sleep, improved mood, better focus, weight loss, and renewed motivation. Others find relief from hot flashes, night sweats, or erectile dysfunction. Some have even had serious medical conditions uncovered during their care and treated early, thanks to Orchid’s thorough approach.
“From private, judgment-free consultations to prompt communication and follow up care, we prioritize our client’s comfort, convenience and results. Many of our clients have had life-changing responses to our treatments and remain dedicated clients to this day."
