Advanced solutions for clearer, healthier-looking skin

Clearer Skin Starts Here

Breakouts, inflammation, and uneven skin texture can impact the skin’s clarity and overall appearance. Acne often requires more than a one-dimensional solution, especially when multiple factors contribute to its development.

Our approach focuses on treating acne at different levels of the skin while maintaining its overall health.

With lasers and devices like BBL and Halo, we customize each treatment plan to target active acne, reduce redness, and improve texture. The result is clearer, more balanced skin that continues to improve over time.

Acne Treatment at The L.A.B.

We offer a range of advanced treatments designed to address active acne, inflammation, and post-acne concerns. Each option is selected based on your skin type and specific needs.

BBL (BroadBand Light)

BBL uses targeted light energy to reduce acne-causing bacteria and calm inflammation within the skin. This helps minimize active breakouts while improving overall skin clarity and tone over time.

Halo

Halo is a hybrid laser that addresses both active acne concerns and post-acne damage. By stimulating collagen and resurfacing the skin, it helps improve texture, reduce the appearance of acne marks, and support long-term skin renewal.

TRL (Tunable Resurfacing Laser)

TRL is a resurfacing treatment that removes damaged outer layers of skin, helping to improve acne scars, texture, and deeper imperfections. It promotes new skin regeneration, resulting in smoother, clearer skin.

ClearSilk

ClearSilk is a gentle, non-ablative laser that helps reduce redness and calm inflamed acne-prone skin. It supports overall skin balance while improving tone and promoting a smoother appearance with minimal downtime.

Aerolase

Aerolase targets acne at its source by reducing bacteria, inflammation, and excess oil production. Its deeper penetration allows for effective treatment of active breakouts while supporting clearer, healthier skin over time.

Care Guidelines

Supporting acne-prone skin before and after treatment is essential for achieving clear, balanced results. These guidelines help minimize irritation, control breakouts, and promote overall skin recovery.

Pre-Care Guidelines

Preparing acne-prone skin properly helps reduce sensitivity and ensures treatments can effectively target breakouts. These steps are designed to keep the skin calm and ready for optimal results.

Pause Active Skincare

Discontinue retinols, exfoliants, and other active ingredients a few days before treatment.

Keep Skin Clean

Arrive with clean, product-free skin to ensure optimal treatment conditions.

Limit Sun Exposure

Avoid direct sun and tanning to reduce sensitivity and lower the risk of complications.

Post-Care Guidelines

After treatment, your skin may be more reactive as it works to clear and renew. Following these guidelines helps reduce inflammation, prevent new breakouts, and support a smoother recovery process.

Avoid Heat and Activity

Limit heat exposure and intense workouts for at least 24 to 48 hours.

Protect with SPF

Use daily sun protection to prevent irritation and protect your results.

Keep Skin Hydrated

Use gentle, non-irritating products to support the healing process.

Karin Book

My wife suffered a severe adverse reaction to Radiesse injections at a different aesthetic spa. We were recommended to urgently seek the assistance of LAB Med Spa in Southlake. Sonya & Stephen were eager to help her & got confirmed her appointment very quickly. From the moment that we entered their location; the attentiveness & concern was notable. The entire staff dedicated themselves to helping her & resolving the issues. They sat with us in an interview & documented all of the previous issues & associated treatments previously provided. From this information, they developed a remediation plan to resolve the issues that resulted from the adverse reaction to the injection. She is currently in the step-by-step remediation plan that was agreed upon. The results have been spectacular. Every visit involves a complete evaluation of the treatment progress & initiation of the next step. We could not be more pleased & grateful to Sonya Ellis, Dr. Stephen Ellis & their entire staff. We would highly recommend LAB Med Spa for any facial aesthetic treatments that you would require. Thank you again for helping us through this difficult situation!

I had such a wonderful experience at the L.A.B. Med Spa. This was my first visit and it was warm and welcoming from the minute I walked in. The space is beautifully decorated, clean and well organized. I was a little nervous at first as this was my first experience with Botox injections. Everyone was kind and comforting and quickly put me at ease. Alyssa was my provider and she made me feel comfortable, took time to listen and explained everything clearly and thoroughly. Her energy was kind, calming, confident and professional throughout the process. Most importantly, my results were amazing! I am beyond happy with how everything turned out and sincerely appreciate the care and attention to detail she provided. I highly recommend this med spa to anyone looking for professional service, a clean and inviting environment, and fantastic results! I will definitely be coming back!

The Lab MedSpa is superb. From lasers to Botox and facials, every facet of the business exceeds expectations.

Highly recommend!

Sonya is a top notch educator! I appreciate her kindness and knowledge in technique and rheology. As a newer injector, she made me feel so comfortable and was able to explain things to me that was easy to understand. Thank you so much for your hospitality and knowledge. It was so worth traveling to train with her and her team! She did a great job to making us feel like we were apart of her team that day and she is also hilarious! You can really tell how passionate about her patients and the work she does. Shelby was also as amazing. She really inspires me with how knowledgeable she is. I love the dynamic her and Sonya have created together. They really share both perspectives on what works for them and it allowed me to feel like they cared about my learning without any bias.
