Tranexamic acid: functions and benefits for melasma

Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Wang Xiaoyan

Tranexamic acid, as an antifibrinolytic agent, competitively inhibits the adsorption of plasminogen onto fibrin, thereby preventing its activation and reducing fibrin degradation, achieving a therapeutic effect on melasma. By suppressing the activity of melanocytes, it reduces melanin production and deposition, thus lightening melasma.

Use under the guidance of a physician is recommended.
