Melasma & dark spots

Tranexamic acid protects human dermal fibroblasts from D-galactose-induced senescence via the GPR30/MAPK pathway.

Annals of medicine · 2026

BACKGROUND: Tranexamic acid (TXA) is widely used for pigmentary disorders, but its anti-ageing potential remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate whether topical 3% TXA improves early periorbital wrinkles in women with facial melasma and to investigate whether TXA protects human dermal fibroblasts from D-galactose-induced senescence via the GPR30/MAPK pathway. METHODS: Fifty women with… Read on PubMed →

Melasma & dark spots

Exploring the mechanism of differential responses to combination therapy in melasma: pigmentary versus mixed pigmentary-vascular types-a clinical study based on interaction analysis.

The Journal of dermatological treatment · 2026

BACKGROUND: Melasma shows clinical heterogeneity, but the role of vascular components in treatment resistance remains unclear. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study included 75 melasma patients stratified by severity (mild/moderate/severe, n = 25 each) and classified into pure pigmentary (M-type, n = 42) and mixed pigmentary-vascular (M + V-type, n = 33). All received low-fluence Q-switched… Read on PubMed →
