TRANEXAMIC ACID FOR MELASMA (PILLS, CREAMS, INJECTIONS)| DR DRAY

#MELASMA #HYPERPIGMENTATION #SKINCARE #DRDRAY
HEY GUYS! TODAY I TALK ABOUT TRANEXAMIC ACID FOR MELASMA, INCLUDING ORAL, INJECTION, AND CREAM FORMS.
THIS VIDEO IS NOT SPONSORED. Links below contain affiliates.
Sunscreens for melasma I recommend are mineral only with iron oxides, as these protect against blue light that, in addition to UV, can worsen melasma.

[@Firkant2]

Since the research seems not to support the effectiveness of TA in a gel-formula and suggests that it could even cause irritation, and the inkeylists tranexamic acid is in a gelformula, my guess is she wouldn’t recommend it. But, I’m tempted to try it still, since I don’t have access to better affordable options and people seem to like it, so would love to know for sure. What I understand from the research she’s citing, is that possibly an emulsion/cream at 2-5 % might be effective and safe, but it’s yet to be determined.

Happy Tuesday! The placebo treatment always surprises me when I see the results of a scientific study. Asians always seem to be ahead of other countries. Is it reality or just an impression, I don't know! But you are here to share with us everything that is being done on a scientific basis. Very reassuring to see that there are specific studies to find a product for melasma. I'm still a little skeptical about the oral treatment. But the other approaches seem very promising for the future. One day, we will surely see a positive result from these studies. Very informative this video!

[@DrDrayzday]

[@firnheledien]

The oral treatment is the only thing that works for me. I am using aggressive sun protection and my melasma persists without the pills.

[@21972012145525]

Unfortunately/fortunately Asians have severe issues with being tanned or having pigmented skin. Fair skin = beautiful and vice versa. I’m sure many people have damaged their skin in hopes of getting it lighter. I know I have-I’m indian. Maybe due to the history of colonialism. 🤷‍♀️That’s probably rooted why they may be leading in skin “brightening” meds. Of course, the west is the opposite where a tan is seen as healthy.

Just discovered your videos today and have spent the last couple of hours catching up on the wonderful information you have to offer us. I was hoping to see a video on Keratosis but have not found it yet. I am 65 years old and a few years ago I starting see these brown spots on my back. As this condition became prominent, I saw a Dermatologist who told me it was quite common with age and that there was nothing that could be done about it. Now there is hardly an area that is not effected, even on my scalp. This has effected my life greatly. I will no longer wear a bathing suit, clothes that do not cover most of my body and, I have completely stopped dating. I find it very embarrassing and God forbid I become involved with a man who would want to have a sexual relationship with me. I live alone. No children or family. I had hoped to meet a gentleman, fall in love and grow old with him. I now feel destined to grow old alone and become a recluse. Can you offer any advise? Is there treatment?

Araceli: The KZbin search bar is a great tool to find existing videos on a lot of topics. Just type “Dr Dray mosquito” and you will get results on what you’re asking her about.

Is the Tranexamic is over the counter? Or we need a prescription from the doctor?

[@susannakeller5398]

Hi! I love ur channel so much and all the skincare videos, but I was wondering if you could make one on sensitive-skin-safe makeup / makeup that actually has some skin benefits.

[@DrDrayzday]

Susanna Keller no makeup 😊

[@jt8142]

Susanna: Dr Dray does not wear makeup so she chooses to not review/recommend those types of products. She just wears sunscreen (tinted & non-tinted) and mascara, plus lip protectant sunscreen.

Can you do a video on Jaclyn Hill and her brand Jaclyn Cosmetics, specifically her recent lipstick launch?

[@DrDrayzday]

Rachelle Kramer I don’t wear makeup

[@mskramer]

It’s not about the makeup. It’s about how she’s selling expired lipstick with holes due to bacterial growth, imbedded hairs and various other foreign contaminants. There’s all sorts of controversy over this and hopefully the FDA will force a recall. I was just hoping you would shed some light on the cautions on wearing expired product such as this. Also, you have such an amazing channel with a highly educated and honest view point. Your unbiased would definitely be beneficial, and it’ll certainly help expose you to new viewers.

[@jt8142]

Dr Dray doesn’t wear makeup so chooses to not review/recommend those types of products. And I doubt she would get involved in any brand or YT influencer controversies.

[@mskramer]

I agree, and would make sense.

Please review Dr Sam's NEW night Serum and give alternatives as the product is too expensive.

Is the risk of stroke mentioned in these studies? Discontinued use, patient failing to take Lysteda as prescribed could result in hemorrhage? Are these patients also followed by hematology?

Wealth of information! Thanks Dr.Dray 😅😂😘

Dr Dray, so can we use Tranexamic acid together with tretinoin at night? At side effects happens?

[@mingming4435]

@Muñeca Quitapenas since 1980 Tret and Tranex n the same routine?

[@oldandstillhere]

This seems dumb, but would this work for regular hyperpigmentation or would something else be better? Thank you!!😘😘

[@DrDrayzday]

it likely will as it is thought to inhibit solar induced hyperpigmentation

[@oldandstillhere]

Dr Dray Thank you!😘

[@raymonddiep1483]

Thanks Dr Dray. Does It fade hyperpigmentation?

will you let us know about this cysteamine formula cream ? does it really work or not ?

[@suzieth94]

What about serums with tranexamic and azelaic acid? Sesderma has one, a review on that one would be interesting

[@headishome8452]

Never heard of this brand..I am very poor. I use sunscreen before makeup and in my makeup. I will look item up to see if I can afford it.

[@AnaRocio2001]

XxheatherxX oh ok, I’m not wealthy either, Credentials is not a pricey brand, i think is from Spain
