Al Di Là Bella

Al Di Là Bella is a medspa and wellness clinic in the Memorial area of Houston. It was founded in 2018 by nurse practitioner Melissa Beccario and combines medical aesthetics with functional medicine and hormone therapy. The business describes itself as an exclusive, luxurious medspa and says it offers concierge-style care without inflated pricing.

Visits are by appointment only, and patients must live in Texas to be seen. New patients can book a free 15-minute discovery call first. Before an appointment, patients complete a medical and lifestyle intake form and a Medical Screen Questionnaire through the online portal. An initial functional medicine appointment runs 60 to 90 minutes and costs $500, with a $250 deposit due when scheduling. Monthly follow-ups and monitor visits every three to six months are $350 for up to an hour. Diagnostic testing is billed separately from visit fees.

The aesthetic menu covers Botox for frown lines, forehead lines, crow's feet, neck lines, platysmal bands, gummy smile, lip flip, hyperhydrosis, TMJ pain and enlarged masseters. Dermal fillers are offered for creases and wrinkles, facial contouring, scars, tear troughs, temple hollowing, volume loss, cheeks, lips, perioral lines, nasolabial folds and marionette lines. Kybella is used to reduce fat under the chin and along the jowls. The VI Peel, a medical-grade chemical peel, is offered for aging skin, fine lines, acne and acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and skin tone and texture. SkinPen microneedling is offered for complexion, wrinkles, skin tone, pores, texture and acne scars. The business states that SkinPen is the only FDA-approved microneedling device and that Kybella is the only FDA-approved injectable for submental fullness.

Functional medicine care includes a full history, physical exam, a personalized health plan and lab testing. Hormone therapy is offered under the Hormone Harmony name using bio-identical hormones, which the practice prefers for hormone replacement. Patients can receive medical-grade nutraceutical recommendations through the Full Script dispensary, and the clinic sells SkinMedica skincare.

Functional medicine here is personalized and aimed at disease prevention, health promotion and identifying the root causes of symptoms. Bio-identical hormones are the preferred method for hormone replacement.

The clinic is described as a beautiful, clean and elegant office.
