iBright™, a combination laser therapy for Melasma

Successful treatment of Melasma requires years of experience. Dr. Ghohestani and his research team at Texas Institute of Dermatology have recently developed iBright, a revolutionary laser system for Melasma. iBright™ is a composed of several state-of-the art lasers and innovative skin treatments for successful treatment of Melasma.  iBright™ utilizes Dermabrasion , Spectra Q switched laser, and Fractional CO2 laser to address effectively Melasma.

  • Dermabrasion – mechanically removes the top layer of skin using a small titanium tip similar to fine-grained sand paper. Dermabrasion opens the door to laser beams to penetrate deeply into skin, thus it improves the efficacy of the Spectra and Fractional CO2 laser,
  • Spectra Q-switched Laser – can specifically target and neutralize unwanted pigmented spots,
  • Fractional CO2 Laser – light penetrates the deeper layers of the skin and target the melanocytes which are responsible for Melasma

Before development of iBright, people had to use topical Hydroquinone cream 2-4%, Azelaic Acid, Tretinoin, cryotherapy or a chemical peel without noticing a significant improvement.

Chemical peels and lasers, if not used by an experienced dermatologist or plastic surgeon, may cause a number of potential side effects such as scar formation or hyper pigmentation.  Strict Sun avoidance and using a sunblock that contains Titanium or Zinc Oxide is highly recommended before, during and after treatment specially if you live in San Antonio or other areas in South Texas.
