Melanin Aesthetics & Laser Center™ operates as a member-exclusive service, meaning membership is required in order to see one of our experts. However, we understand that some individuals may have an established history with our experts. In recognition of those prior relationships, we reserve the right to offer special introductory membership rate or waive the membership requirement entirely for any patient who has previously seen one of our experts. Our aim is to balance our exclusive membership approach while still accommodating valued patients who have trusted our dermatologists with their care in the past.

The Melanin Foundation Membership is ideal for individuals with skin concerns that can be evaluated virtually or for those who value the convenience of virtual appointments. It’s well suited for conditions such as melasma, acne, or anyone seeking expert guidance on general skincare and skin health. Members may choose to come into the office for procedures, and all post-procedure follow-ups are included and do not count toward the virtual follow-up visits.

The Melanin Precision Membership is designed for individuals seeking targeted, results-driven care for specific skin and hair concerns: from hair loss and acne to hyperpigmentation, facial balancing, and full-face rejuvenation. This membership emphasizes personalized treatment plans using advanced technologies to achieve visible, measurable results, ideal for those not yet ready to commit to broader wellness offerings such as yoga and nutrition.

The Melanin Signature Membership is our most popular offerings and is designed for individuals seeking holistic, comprehensive, results-driven care that goes beyond aesthetics. This membership integrates advanced skin and hair treatments with wellness, nutrition, preventive screenings, and ongoing physician access to support long-term skin health, hair restoration, and overall rejuvenation.

Our transparent, patient-focused approach includes accepting a variety of payment options at the time of service, including cash, debit cards, all major credit cards, Health Spending Accounts (HSAs), Flex Spending Accounts (FSAs) and CareCredit. For CareCredit, please visit their respective websites to apply online.

Membership dues are non-refundable. Members can pause their membership for the year or cancel at any time.

We kindly request that you notify us at least 24 hours in advance if you need to reschedule your appointment. Failure to do so will result in a cancellation administrative fee.

Members have the option to utilize their insurance coverage for pathology fees, bloodwork, and prescriptions.

All treatments, with the exception of aesthetician services, are performed by our board-certified dermatologists or plastic surgeons.

Absolutely. While our expertise focuses on skin and hair care in skin of color, our board-certified dermatologists are trained to care for ALL skin types. We proudly welcome patients of every background, and our memberships are designed to deliver personalized, high-quality care for each individual. Diversity and inclusivity are core values of our practice.
