Microneedling with Tranexamic Acid
Microneedling with Tranexamic Acid combines the collagen-stimulating benefits of microneedling with the powerful depigmenting effects of tranexamic acid. This dual-action treatment creates micro-channels in the skin that allow tranexamic acid to penetrate deeply, effectively targeting and reducing hyperpigmentation, melasma, and dark spots while simultaneously improving skin texture and firmness.

How Microneedling with Tranexamic Acid Works
Understanding the dual-action approach to pigmentation reduction
1. Micro-Channel Creation
Fine needles penetrate the skin, creating thousands of microscopic channels. These micro-injuries trigger the body's natural healing response, activating fibroblasts (cells that produce collagen) and initiating the wound healing cascade.
2. Tranexamic Acid Infusion
Tranexamic acid is applied to the skin and penetrates through the micro-channels deep into the dermis. This allows the active ingredient to reach the cells responsible for melanin production, where it can work most effectively.
3. Pigmentation Inhibition
Tranexamic acid works by inhibiting the enzyme plasmin, which plays a key role in activating melanocytes (pigment-producing cells). By blocking this pathway, tranexamic acid reduces melanin production at the source, preventing new pigmentation and allowing existing pigmentation to fade.
4. Dual Benefits
While tranexamic acid works to reduce pigmentation, microneedling simultaneously stimulates collagen production, improving skin texture, firmness, and overall quality. Over weeks and months, this dual action leads to visible improvements in both pigmentation and skin texture, providing comprehensive skin rejuvenation.
