Microneedling-assisted delivery of metformin versus tranexamic acid in treating melasma: a randomized controlled study
Microneedling with topical TXA demonstrated superior efficacy and patient satisfaction compared to metformin and Kligman's formula. While topical metformin showed some potential, its formulation and clinical utility require further study. Microneedling offers a promising approach to improve treatment outcomes in melisma.
