Example conversation. Names and scores are illustrative. Maya is a skin expert, not a physician. Diagnosis and prescriptions come from your dermatologist.
Hi Cindy, it's Maya, your Thea skin expert. I reviewed your baseline scan this morning. The pattern across both cheeks is the one we look for in melasma, so I've submitted your referral for a free visit with a licensed Thea dermatologist. Your booking link is on its way.
Thank you! Is there anything I need to do before the visit?
Just one thing. Take a bare-face photo in natural light and upload it in the app. The dermatologist will review it alongside your scan before your visit.
Your November scan is in. Your left cheek score is down 18% from baseline and the right cheek is close behind. Keep the treatment going at night and sunscreen every morning, even on cloudy days.
I can see it in the mirror now.
May scan is in, Cindy. Your score is 41% below your September baseline. This is the May we planned for. I've flagged the result to your dermatologist so your plan moves to maintenance for the summer.
Melasma follows the calendar, and so does our guarantee. Your September scan sets your baseline. Your May scan measures the result. If your May score has not improved, your second year of membership is free.
The guarantee applies to your membership fee and is not a guarantee of medical results. Requires a baseline scan within [14] days of joining, monthly scans, and use of treatment as prescribed. [Full terms.]

The scan measures pigment. It does not provide a diagnosis. Diagnosis and prescriptions come from a licensed dermatologist at your free visit.
Wait time and copay are typical figures for an in-person dermatology visit in the US and vary by location and insurance.
You answer a few medical questions and send a bare-face photo in natural light. Your melasma expert reviews your scan and photos first. If the pattern calls for prescription treatment, she refers you to a licensed dermatologist through Thea telehealth, who confirms whether it is melasma and, if appropriate, prescribes a treatment plan with the phases and breaks set. There is no waiting room and no office fee.
Yes. You can begin with the protection phase right away. Prescription treatment begins after pregnancy and breastfeeding, and your dermatologist will explain what is safe to use in the meantime.
Yes. Melasma is most common on medium to deep skin tones, and your plan is built with that in mind, including which actives require a break and why.
No. Maya is a trained skin expert, not a dermatologist. When your plan needs a prescription or a medical decision, a licensed dermatologist through Thea telehealth makes it.
Progress is gradual. Your monthly scan usually shows measurable change before you notice it in the mirror, which is why members who track their scans tend to stay with the plan.
Your plan shifts to protection before summer begins, so you are maintaining your results instead of starting over.
