Official Title: The Boosting Effect of Hyaluronic Acid on Tranexamic Acid Microneedles in Melasma Patients: A Split- Face Study
Brief Summary:
Topical tranexamic, a hydrophilic molecule, can't pass the lipid barriers of the stratum corneum and it's also not retained in adequate amount in the epidermis to enter the melanocytes, so there's a difficulty in the effective delivery of tranexamic acid into the melanocytes .Hyaluronic acid was proved to improve the effective delivery of tranexamic acid through loosening corneocyte packing and helping TXA entering the melanocytes and minimizing its epidermal diffusion .
