Melasma and Hyperpigmentation

Reducing melasma and discoloration with precision technology

Target Uneven Pigmentation at the L.A.B.

Melasma and hyperpigmentation can create uneven skin tone, dark patches, and a lack of overall clarity. These concerns are often influenced by factors such as sun exposure, hormones, and skin sensitivity, making them more complex to treat.

Here at The L.A.B. Med Spa, we take a careful, targeted approach to improving discoloration while maintaining the health and integrity of your skin.

Using advanced treatments like Halo, Moxi, and TRL, we are able to address pigmentation at different depths. This allows us to gradually brighten the skin, improve tone, and create a more even, refined appearance over time.

Melasma and Hyperpigmentation at The L.A.B.

We offer a selection of advanced treatments designed to safely and effectively address melasma and hyperpigmentation. Each option is chosen based on your skin’s condition, the depth of pigment, and your overall goals.

Halo

Halo is a hybrid fractional laser that treats both surface-level and deeper skin concerns. By combining ablative and non-ablative wavelengths, it improves discoloration, refines texture, and supports long-term skin renewal.

Moxi

Moxi is a gentle, non-ablative laser that refreshes the skin by creating controlled micro-injuries. This process stimulates cell turnover and helps improve early signs of pigmentation while enhancing overall tone and texture.

TRL (Tunable Resurfacing Laser)

TRL is a customizable resurfacing laser that removes damaged outer layers of skin with precision. It helps improve tone, reduce deeper pigmentation, and reveal a more refined, even complexion as the skin heals.

Focused on safe, effective, and lasting results

What Our Patients Say

This was my first visit. I'd been going to another med spa. I had my first consult with Sonya and was really impressed! Not only did we talk about what would be best for me, but she shared a lot of tips based on her vast knowledge, that I can implement, to make my current beauty regime work better.

Sharon H

Possibly one of the best trainings I have attended. Sonya and Shelby are two phenomenal trainers. As a new injector, I felt like she taught my group and I at a level that I understood but also at a level that an advanced trainer gained benefits from. Shelby, had immense knowledge of RHA product and had great advice on technique and placement. Sonya had a warm personality and is so patient and understanding. She made me feel comfortable while injecting and was very validating. The office staff are friendly and courteous. All and all, I give this experience a 20/10. I will be back for more!

Samantha Hoke

I went to the Bishop Arts location on a lunch break and saw Shelby for a quick consultation and Dermaplane. I love how the suite is right around the corner (prime location for Bishop Arts/Oak Cliff). Shelby was amazing! We started off talking about long term goals and finished with a Dermaplane that left me feeling refreshed and glowing.

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.

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.
