What is melasma?
Melasma is a skin condition characterized by dark, discolored patches, often on the face.
How does roller microneedling work?
Roller microneedling creates micro-injuries in the skin, promoting healing and enhancing product absorption.
What is tranexamic acid?
Tranexamic acid is a medication that helps reduce pigmentation by inhibiting melanin production.
Is the treatment painful?
Patients may experience mild discomfort, but topical anesthetics are often used to minimize pain.
How many sessions are required for optimal results?
The number of sessions varies by individual, but multiple treatments are typically recommended for best results.
