Background: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of tranexamic acid mesotherapy in the treatment of melasma in the Moroccan population. Materials and Methods: All the patients received an intradermal injection of tranexamic acid (5 mg/mL). No other local or general treatment was administered. The patients were kept under external photoprotection only. Pre- and post-treatment photographs were taken and analyzed with the Visioface® RD hardware. The evaluation was employed the MASI score. Results: All patients had a dark skin phototype. The average duration of melasma evolution was 3.67 years. The pre-treatment average MASI was 7.6. The post-therapeutic average MASI was 6. The Visioface® RD hardware estimated a 25% reduction in the surface area attained at month five. No serious side effects were reported. Conclusion: Tranexamic acid was proven to be an essential tool in treating melasma.

A Prospective Study

Thirty-six adult patients with 44 trigger fingers of less than four months' duration entered a prospective study on the efficiency of treatment with local injections of a combination of corticosteroids and lidocaine. From this study it may be concluded that the short-term success rate (93%) of one to three injections of methylprednisolone and lidocaine 2% (Depo-Medrol®) is comparable to that achieved by surgical or percutaneous tenolysis. At one year of follow-up, this success rate still amounted to 86%. In our hands, this therapy is without complications or side effects.
