Microneedling with tranexamic acid for red stretch marks
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether microneedling combined with tranexamic acid is safe and effective for treating red stretch marks. Microneedling uses tiny needles to help the medicine and your skin's own repair process improve the marks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a new approach to treating red stretch marks by combining two treatments: a procedure called microneedling (using tiny needles to help skin heal) and a prescription vitamin A cream (tretinoin). The goal is to see if this combination works better than either treatment alone to reduce the appearance of stretch marks.
This trial tests a treatment called deep skin abrasion for stretch marks. It may help improve the appearance of stretch marks by gently sanding the top layers of skin.
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.
This study compares three types of treatments — two lasers and microneedling — to improve depressed acne scars on the face. It is for people with a range of skin tones who have not had recent facial treatments or used certain medications.
This trial tests two injectable treatments for melasma (dark patches on the face): platelet-rich fibrin, which uses your own blood cells to promote healing, and tranexamic acid, a medication that may reduce pigmentation. The study will compare which works better for women with mild to moderate melasma.
This study tests whether a medicine called tranexamic acid, taken as a pill or used on the skin, can help fade melasma in women with darker skin types. It aims to find a safe way to improve skin color and is relevant to those looking for new melasma treatment options. The trial compares the treatment to another study treatment without medicine. 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.
