THE TREATMENT

Treating Melasma with Tranexamic Acid Injections

Melasma Treatment Information

Melasma is a complex condition to manage, and treatment outcomes can differ from person to person. Common options such as Hydroquinone creams and Microdermabrasion focus on the top layers of skin and pigment cells, but stopping these treatments often leads to recurrence.

Laser treatments may carry a risk of exacerbating Melasma, especially if excessive heat is applied. While treatments like Fraxel Laser and chemical peels might provide mild improvement, they typically address only superficial layers of the skin.

A newer approach involves Tranexamic Acid, which has shown potential in managing Melasma. Though the exact mechanism is not fully understood, it may work by influencing melanin production. This treatment involves small injections into the dermal layer of the skin. While it shows promise, results vary, and complete resolution of Melasma is not guaranteed.

What is Melasma?

Melasma is patchy discolouration and hyperpigmentation that occurs on the face. The areas most commonly affected by this skin disorder include the forehead, cheeks and upper lip. The exact cause is unknown but the condition is associated with sun exposure and pregnancy (i.e. hormonal changes).

Are there any risks with this treatment?

Like any medical treatment, Tranexamic Acid injections come with potential risks and side effects. These may include:

Injection Site Reactions: Swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site, which is typically temporary.
Skin Irritation: Some patients may experience itching or mild discomfort in the treated area.
Hyperpigmentation or Hypopigmentation: Rarely, uneven skin tone changes can occur.
Allergic Reaction: Although uncommon, sensitivity to the treatment can result in an allergic reaction.
Rare Systemic Effects: While Tranexamic Acid is generally safe, there is a very low risk of systemic side effects such as headaches or nausea.

Can I get this treatment while pregnant?

Tranexamic Acid injections are not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. While the treatment is typically considered safe for non-pregnant individuals, there is insufficient data to confirm its safety for pregnant or breastfeeding women.
