About Tranexamic Acid Injections
Tranexamic acid (TXA) is a well-established treatment for melasma and resistant pigmentation. Delivered as a series of tiny intradermal microinjections, it works at the source of the problem: it blocks the plasminogen–plasmin pathway in the skin, reducing the inflammatory and vascular signals that stimulate melanocytes to overproduce pigment. By calming this cascade, tranexamic acid helps fade the brown patches of melasma and the underlying redness that often feeds it. Because melasma is a chronic, easily-triggered condition, tranexamic acid injections are typically delivered as a short course of monthly sessions and are most effective when combined with diligent sun protection and a pigment-focused skincare regimen. This approach is especially valuable for patients with stubborn or recurrent melasma that has not fully responded to topical therapy alone, and it can be safely used across a wide range of skin tones with a low risk of the post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation that more aggressive lasers can cause. Treatment is quick and well-tolerated, with only minor pinpoint redness afterward and no meaningful downtime. Your provider will assess your suitability and may combine tranexamic acid with complementary in-office and at-home pigment treatments for the best long-term control.
