Aesthetic Medicine

What Aesthetic Medicine does

Aesthetic Medicine (legally Mersio Inc., doing business as Dr. Darm on the Lake) is a physician-owned and operated aesthetic medicine clinic founded in 1995 by Dr. Jerry Darm in Lake Oswego, Oregon, a suburb of Portland. The single-location practice delivers a broad continuum of non-invasive and minimally invasive cosmetic and wellness procedures spanning injectables (BOTOX, Dysport, Jeuveau), body contouring (Vanquish Me, Emsculpt, LipoLift™), skin rejuvenation (LaserLift™, Morpheus4 RF microneedling, HydraFacial, microdermabrasion, laser treatments for hair removal, acne, rosacea, sun damage, scars, and veins), facial procedures (MiniFaceLift™, FaceTite, BodyTite), and medical-grade 4.5 ATA hyperbaric oxygen therapy. The clinical team includes two physicians (Dr. Darm and Dr. Amie Zawacki), physician assistants, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, and certified medical assistants, with 75+ years of combined experience and a stated 100,000+ laser procedures performed by the lead physician over his career.

The practice's technology stack is a multi-vendor energy-based device suite — including Palomar SlimLipo, Alma Harmony XL Pro, BTL Emsculpt and Emsella, BTL Vanquish Me, InMode Morpheus4 and BodyTite/FaceTite, and Exilis — overlaid with three trademarked proprietary procedures (LaserLift™, LipoLift™, MiniFaceLift™) developed internally. Three of these are differentiated as procedure brands exclusive to this clinic, with the practice claiming to be the nation's busiest site for both LipoLift and MiniFaceLift. Patient acquisition is consultation-driven and sales-led: prospective patients book free consultations via the PatientNow online platform or by phone, with UTM-tracked Google Ads, social channels (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok), local SEO, and an Aspire loyalty program supporting funnel activity.

Revenue is generated entirely on a fee-for-service, pay-per-treatment or multi-session package basis from individual consumer patients; the Aspire program provides a retention-pricing layer. Pricing is consultation-quoted for surgical procedures and transparently listed for injectables ($15/unit Botox, $5.50/unit Dysport, $10/unit Jeuveau) and packaged treatments (e.g., Vanquish Me 4 sessions for $1,995; skin tightening 3 sessions for $2,495). All services are delivered on-site at the single Lake Oswego clinic; no franchise, retail, e-commerce, or third-party distribution channels exist.
