Tranexamic Acid in Tijuana
Clinically proven topical and oral tranexamic acid protocols for melasma, hyperpigmentation, and stubborn dark spots. Even skin tone from the inside out.
What is Tranexamic Acid?
Tranexamic acid (TXA) is a synthetic amino acid derivative originally developed to control bleeding in surgical and trauma settings. Its mechanism of action—blocking the conversion of plasminogen to plasmin—has proven remarkably effective at interrupting the inflammatory cascade that triggers excess melanin production. When used topically or orally for skin, TXA reduces the activity of melanocytes without cytotoxic destruction, making it one of the safest and most versatile depigmentation agents available.
At Vive Med Spa, we deploy tranexamic acid across multiple delivery systems to treat melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), and resistant dark spots that have not responded to hydroquinone, kojic acid, or chemical peels alone. Our protocols combine TXA with tyrosinase inhibitors, broad-spectrum sunscreen, and in-clinic technologies like Spectra laser toning and IPL for synergistic clearance.
Tranexamic Acid Protocols Available
Topical Tranexamic Acid Serum 5%
Daily-use serum with tranexamic acid 5%, niacinamide 4%, and kojic acid 1%. Penetrates the epidermal barrier to suppress melanogenesis.
Oral Tranexamic Acid 250 mg
Compounded oral capsule for refractory melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Typical dose: 250 mg twice daily for 8-12 weeks.
Mesotherapy Tranexamic Acid Cocktail
In-clinic microneedling infusion of tranexamic acid, glutathione, vitamin C, and peptides for accelerated depigmentation.
Combined Brightening Protocol
Full 12-week depigmentation program: oral TXA + topical serum + chemical peel series + SPF 50 maintenance.
Contraindications and Safety
Tranexamic acid is contraindicated in patients with active thromboembolic disease, history of deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, stroke, or known coagulopathies. Oral TXA must be used with caution in patients on combined hormonal contraceptives, hormone replacement therapy, or tamoxifen. Topical tranexamic acid has an excellent safety profile but should be discontinued if irritation occurs. Our physicians perform a complete medical screening before prescribing oral regimens.
All protocols are designed in accordance with NOM-241-SSA-2020 clinical research guidelines and supervised by board-certified physicians. Daily broad-spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen is mandatory throughout any TXA protocol to prevent recurrence.
