Rosacea and Pigment

Science-backed care for redness and uneven tone

Personalized Treatments for an Even Skin Tone

Redness, rosacea, and uneven pigmentation can be difficult to manage with skincare alone. These concerns often reflect deeper activity within the skin, from vascular inflammation to excess melanin production.

Here at The L.A.B. Med Spa, we take a more advanced approach, using targeted laser and energy-based treatments to address the source of the issue while improving overall skin clarity and resilience.

We have different lasers and devices that can help, such as:

  • BBL
  • Moxi
  • Halo
  • ClearSilk
  • Aerolase
  • ProFractional
  • TRL

Our technology allows us to customize your treatment based on your skin’s unique needs, whether you are experiencing persistent redness, visible vessels, sun damage, or uneven tone.

Each plan is designed to restore balance, strengthen the skin, and deliver natural-looking results over time.

Rosacea and Pigment Treatments at The L.A.B.

We provide a variety of innovative treatment options to help improve redness, rosacea, and uneven pigmentation. Each solution is carefully chosen and tailored to your skin, allowing us to address multiple concerns with precision and intention.

BBL (BroadBand Light)

BBL uses targeted light energy to address excess pigment and uneven tone within the skin. It works by gently heating the upper layers, allowing the body to break down discoloration and restore a clearer, more radiant complexion over time.

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.

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.

ClearSilk

ClearSilk is a non-invasive laser treatment designed to gently heat the skin and reduce visible redness. It helps calm inflammation while promoting a smoother, more even appearance with little to no downtime.

Aerolase

Aerolase uses advanced laser energy to target redness, rosacea, and inflammation without damaging the surrounding skin. It works by penetrating deeper layers to reduce vascular activity and improve overall skin clarity.

ProFractional

ProFractional is a targeted resurfacing treatment that creates micro-channels in the skin to stimulate collagen production. It is often used to improve texture and more advanced skin concerns while supporting smoother, healthier-looking skin.

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.

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. Shelby has a very calm demeanor that made me feel at ease with learning from her. Thank you so much to the LAB team and educators. It makes me excited to learn more from them in the future!

Their techniques, focus on safety, and attention to detail made the trip from St. Louis absolutely worthwhile! I left feeling confident and ready to apply what I learned.
