Regarding the question of what effects melasma injection may have, improvement in pigmentation and more uniform skin tone may be expected, though results vary by individual.
According to a 2023 study in Acta Clin Croat, tranexamic acid is an ingredient used in dermatological treatments for improving pigmentation (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov). A 2024 systematic review in J Dermatolog Treat also covered tranexamic acid as a treatment option for managing melasma (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov).
Treatment results and recovery may vary depending on the individual and the treatment area. The timeline shown is for general reference only.
