Use tranexamic acid for skin whitening, knowing its effects and side effects!
Tranexamic acid is a synthetic compound widely used in the medical and cosmetic industries, known especially for its anti-inflammatory and antithrombotic properties. Recently, it has gained attention as an effective ingredient for skin whitening and improving pigmentation, being included in various skin care products. This article will discuss in detail the definition, effects, and side effects of tranexamic acid.
1. What is tranexamic acid?
Tranexamic acid is a synthetic compound that is an antifibrinolytic used to control bleeding and blood clotting. This compound prevents fibrin from breaking down, reducing bleeding and being used to reduce the risk of thrombosis in medical settings. However, recently, tranexamic acid has been widely used in skin care due to the discovery of its skin whitening and pigmentation improvement effects.
Tranexamic acid has a chemical structure similar to aminocaproic acid and has been mainly used as a drug for antithrombotic therapy and bleeding control. However, the discovery of tranexamic acid's anti-inflammatory properties, melanin synthesis inhibition ability, and antioxidant action has led to a significant focus on the cosmetic industry.
2. Tranexamic acid effects
Tranexamic acid provides a variety of skin benefits. Here are the main reasons why tranexamic acid is used in skin care and a description of its effects.
2.1 Pigmentation improvement
Tranexamic acid has the ability to inhibit melanin synthesis, which makes it effective inimproving pigmentation problems such as melasma, freckles, and dark spots. Melanin is the pigment that gives skin its color, and excessive production can lead to pigmentation. Tranexamic acid inhibits melanin production, helping to brighten and even out skin tone.
2.2 Anti-inflammatory effect
It has anti-inflammatory properties that reduce skin inflammation and help soothe the skin. This is effective in relieving inflammatory skin problems such as acne or rashes. The anti-inflammatory effect reduces skin redness and flushing, and can prevent pigmentation caused by inflammation.
2.3 Antioxidant action
It prevents skin damage caused by free radicals through antioxidant action. Free radicals are produced by environmental pollution, UV exposure, stress, etc., and can accelerate skin aging and cause problems such as wrinkles and dark spots. Tranexamic acid inhibits the action of these free radicals, helping to slow down skin aging and maintain healthy skin.
2.4 Other effects
It has antithrombotic properties, which can help improve blood circulation and reduce skin swelling. It also contributes to strengthening the skin barrier and maintaining skin moisture.
3. Tranexamic acid side effects
Tranexamic acid is generally safe to use, but side effects can occur in some people. Here are the side effects and precautions to be aware of when using tranexamic acid.
3.1 Skin irritation
Tranexamic acid can irritate the skin. Especially when used at high concentrations or on sensitive skin, it can cause skin redness, itching, and dryness. In such cases, you should discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.
3.2 Allergic reaction
Some people may have an allergic reaction. Symptoms of an allergic reaction include rash, swelling, and difficulty breathing. If these symptoms occur, you should immediately stop use.
3.3 Drug interactions
Tranexamic acid is used as an antithrombotic agent, so it can affect blood clotting. Therefore, people with blood clotting problems or risk of thrombosis should consult a healthcare professional before using tranexamic acid. You should also consider the possibility of interactions with other medications.
