CLNICAL STUDY
Background
Melasma is a disorder of symmetrical hypermelanosis that involves sun-exposed areas of the skin. Although multiple therapeutic treatments have previously been tried, successful & effective treatment for melasma have been few.
Objective
To compare the therapeutic effectiveness of topical tranexamic acid (TXA) with microneedling versus microneedling alone in the treatment of melasma.
Patients & Methods
This study was conducted on 42 patients with melasma, randomly divided into 2 groups. In group I, each patient was subjected to a series of six sessions of skin microneedling & TXA application. In group II, six sessions of microneedling alone were performed, with 2 week interval.
Results
The Melasma area and severity was significantly decreased in both groups with significant higher reduction in group I compared with group II.
Conclusion
Although Microneedling alone produced significant lightening effects, topical Tranexamic Acid combined with microneedling achieved more satisfactory results.
