Randomized Controlled Trial
A prospective randomized controlled study of oral tranexamic acid for preventing postinflammatory hyperpigmentation after Q-switched ruby laser.
Postinflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) is the most common skin complication in Asians after invasive cosmetic treatments. ⋯ Although oral TA has been reported to have depigmentation effects, it may not be effective for preventing PIH after QSRL. Considering the dosage and duration of treatment, an optimal protocol may be needed to induce the efficacy of this treatment to achieve the PIH-preventing effect of oral TA.
