Filter by:Melasma is a prevalent chronic facial pigmentation condition affecting Asian women of childbearing age, attributed to genetic predisposition, sunlight exposure, and hormonal changes. Treatment methods include phototherapy and medication, notably tranexamic acid, which inhibits melanin production. Ultra-pulsed shockwave therapy is a non-invasive approach that boosts skin cell vitality and collagen synthesis. Currently, there is a lack of comprehensive research on the effectiveness and safety of using ultra-pulsed shockwaves to deliver tranexamic acid for melasma treatment. This study will involve a non-randomized, self-half-face, pre-post controlled prospective clinical trial. This design aims to evaluate the depigmenting effects and safety profile of tranexamic acid delivered via ultra-pulsed shockwaves.
Microneedling radiofrequency technology has been shown in clinical studies to improve skin quality, tone, pigment, and to treat various skin conditions related to aging. The purpose of this study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of Sylfrim X device for the treatment of melasma.
This interventional, randomized, investigator blinded, controlled study conducted in one centre consists in a 4-month evaluation period within the same season avoiding sunny season on 140 subjects with facial epidermal melasma.
Melasma is a refractory skin disease due to its complex pathogenesis and difficult treatment. Studies have found that human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (hUCMSC-Exos) could serve as a novel cell-free therapeutic strategy in regenerative and aesthetic medicine. It could potentially treat melasma, but the skin barrier is a challenge. This study aims to explore the safety and efficacy of hUCMSC-Exos in the treatment of melasma and means to promote its percutaneous penetration.
Melasma is a common refractory acquired hyperpigmentation of the skin having a serious impact on patients' quality of life. Melasma is challenging to treat. Treatment is often a multimodality approach. Due to the attached psychological and social stress, it is important to counsel patients with melasma adequately about the chronicity of the disease, the importance of photoprotection, and the role of hormones in disease persistence before embarking on therapeutic correction. So in this study, we are exploring the efficacy of oral isotretinoin for treating melasma.
This research is a clinical study with a single-blind randomized clinical trial design (randomized controlled trial) in multicenters at two Dermatology and Venereology Education centers in Indonesia. This study aims to determine the effectiveness and safety of PSP as adjuvant therapy for melasma. This research will be attended by 33 research subjects
Melasma is an acquired hyperpigmentation disorder with a multifactorial etiology and complex pathogenesis that can significantly diminish the quality of life for affected patients. As of now, melasma therapy remains challenging due to its high recurrence rate and the common occurrence of treatment-related side effects. The use of depigmentation agents is a crucial component in managing melasma. Hydroquinone stands as the first-line depigmentation agent for melasma; however, its use often leads to adverse effects. Therefore, alternative depigmentation agents are needed. Curcuma xanthorriza Roxb., a native plant of Indonesia, operates by inhibiting the tyrosinase enzyme, reducing MITF transcription, and inhibiting α-MSH. Despite these potential benefits, Curcuma xanthorriza Roxb. has not been utilized as a depigmentation agent. Research on the effectiveness of Curcuma xanthorriza Roxb. as a depigmentation agent in melasma treatment has not been conducted. Therefore, it is essential to conduct research to determine the effectiveness of a 10% Curcuma xanthorrhiza Roxb. cream in reducing MASI scores and enhancing skin brightness in epidermal-type melasma.
The study is conducted to determine if image-based computer grading can of acne, melasma, rosacea and seborrheic dermatitis correlate well to expert based clinical severity grading.
The primary objective of our study is to determine the efficacy of combined topical cysteamine cream with a 1927 diode non-ablative laser (Clear + Brilliant Permea®; Solta Medical, Inc.), compared to topical cysteamine (Cyspera) alone in the treatment of melasma. The main questions it aims to answer are - If melasma treatment with topical cysteamine cream is more effective when used with the Clear & Brilliant® Permea laser - The safety & efficacy of melasma treatment in various skin types using the Clear & Brilliantt® Permea laser in combination with topical cysteamine. Participants will - Come into our office for an initial screening appointment to determine if participant is eligible for the study - Come in for 3 laser treatments, 4 weeks apart, on 1 side of the face - Use the study provided Cyspera topical cream every day on the entire face for the 12 weeks on the study. Researchers will compare the side of the participants face not treated with laser to the side of the face treated with laser. The participants will be using Cyspera on both sides of their face.
Melasma is an acquired disorder of melanogenesis leading to hyperpigmentation and manifested by symmetrical brown to gray-black macules and patches with serrated irregular edges . It occurs especially in sun-exposed areas and affects young to middle-aged women. It is most commonly seen on the face and less commonly on the neck, arms, and chest . Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is defined as a small volume of autologous plasma that contains a high concentration of platelets obtained by centrifugation of autologous blood and subsequent suspension of platelets
