Why some develop Melasma is uncertain, increase in sex hormones especially during pregnancy and after taking oral contraceptive pills re among the most common cause of Melasma. Melasma in South Texas (San Antonio, Boerne) is more common in Hispanic, Idian and Asian skin types. In addition to sex hormones, sunlight is also implicated.

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.
