Sumario: | The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of photo rejuvenation combined with tranexamic acid and hydroquinone cream in the treatment of complex facial pigmentation. A total of 108 patients with complex facial pigmentation between October 2019 and October 2021 were included in this retrospective study and divided into 2 groups according to the treatment that they received, with 54 cases in each group. The control group received treatment with tranexamic acid and hydroquinone cream. On the basis of the control group, the observation group was treated with photo rejuvenation combined with tranexamic acid and hydroquinone cream. The effectiveness of the treatments in both groups was determined through photographs and melasma area severity index score. The skin conditions were also compared before and after treatment. The effective rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (98.15% vs 83.33%, P = .025). The melasma area and severity index score in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group after treatment (1.58 ± 0.14 vs 2.96 ± 0.13, P < .001). Before treatment, there was no significant difference in the skin elasticity and skin water content between the observation group and control group (P > .05). After treatment, the skin elasticity and skin water content were significantly higher than that in the control group (P < .05). Photo rejuvenation combined with tranexamic acid and hydroquinone cream has a significant curative effect on patients with complex facial pigmentation, which can significantly improve skin elasticity, increase skin water content, and reduce the degree of skin lesions. |
