A skin treatment for facial melasma in women
Treatments studied
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests whether taking tranexamic acid (a medicine that helps reduce pigmentation) along with a skin treatment called microneedling is more effective for treating melasma than microneedling alone. It aims to help women with facial melasma achieve clearer, more even skin tone.

Participation is open to women aged 30 to 60 with darker skin tones who are not pregnant and are not using certain other skin or hormone treatments.
