Tranexamic Acid

Use Tranexamic Acid (topical or oral treatment) as prescribed to help treat melasma by reducing pigment production pathways involved in abnormal melanin activation.
Tranexamic Acid is a synthetic amino acid that reduces pigmentation by interfering with the pathways that trigger melanin production. It is effective for melasma and sun-induced hyperpigmentation.
Individuals with melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, or sunspots can benefit from Tranexamic Acid, especially if other treatments have not been effective.
Results may take 8–12 weeks of consistent use, with gradual improvement in pigmentation and skin tone.
Tranexamic Acid may be prescribed for adults with melasma, particularly in cases that are persistent or recurrent. It should be used under clinician supervision, especially when taken orally, and may not be suitable for individuals with a history of blood clotting disorders. See pricing details here.
