Melasma Dallas

Melasma Dallas is a division of deNovo Health, located in Suite 110 on Cedar Springs Road in Dallas. The clinic is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 am to 6 pm and is closed Sunday and Monday. All consultations and treatments are by appointment only.

Melasma is described as a common pigmentation condition that causes brown or gray patches, most often on the face. Contributing factors listed include birth control pills, pregnancy, stress, thyroid disease and sun exposure. The clinic says topical lightening creams, topical steroids, chemical peels and dermabrasion are short-acting and that melasma often returns after them.

Visitors can book a free melasma consultation online or by phone, with no commitment required. The main treatment is the StarWalker laser, a Q-switched laser that the clinic says breaks apart pigment while aiming to leave surrounding skin cells unaffected. The clinic also says StarWalker is used for other pigment concerns, including multi-colored tattoos and nevus of Ito. Results are not guaranteed and can vary from person to person, including depending on how closely a client follows the treatment plan.

Treatment can be paid through a plan that requires 30 percent of the total package before the first session, with the remaining balance split into six monthly charges to a card on file. The plan carries no interest and involves no credit check. Treatments pause if monthly payments are missed until the account is brought up to date. The team includes bilingual Spanish and English medical staff and receptionists, and the clinic states it has more than 24 years of combined experience in the aesthetic field.

The clinic offers maintenance treatments at the first sign of recurrence if needed, and recommends daily use of a high-quality sun block rather than sunscreen alone.
