Tranexamicum – Give a brighter look to your skin! - Anti Age Magazine

Tranexamic acid is a synthetic derivative of the amino acid lysine. It inhibits the breakdown of fibrin through the reversible blockade of lysine binding sites on plasminogen molecules. It was originally designed as a drug to reduce blood loss after surgery.

Tranexamic acid has more recently demonstrated a curative effect towards melasma and ultraviolet-induced PIH in Asian countries.

In a recent Clinical Trial: Melan-a cells and human melanocytes were cultured with fractional CO2 laser-treated keratinocyte-conditioned media. Melanin content and tyrosinase activity were evaluated in cells treated with or without tranexamic acid. Protein levels of tyrosinase, tyrosinase-related protein (TRP)-1, and TRP-2 were evaluated in melan-a cells. Signaling pathway molecules involved in melanogenesis in melanoma cells were also investigated.

Tranexamic acid-treated melanocytes exhibited reduced melanin content and tyrosinase activity. Tranexamic acid also decreased tyrosinase, TRP-1, and TRP-2 protein levels. Conclusion

Tranexamic acid may be an attractive candidate for skin lightening and the treatment of PIH.

How May Procell Improve….?

Hyperpigmentation, Sun Damage & Brown Spots

Not only can the Procell device be used to enhance the penetration of skin bleaching and melanin inhibiting topicals. But the physical interaction with melanosomes as they actively deposit melanin is believed to improve communication between the melanocyte and the melanosome, reducing the appearance of many types of pigmentary irregularities.

In fact, Procell may be the best modality available to improve the appearance of Melasma, because when used in a noninvasive fashion, Microchanneling creates a minimal inflammatory environment that won’t aggravate the condition.

And unlike LASER, IPL, microneedling and other more invasive and energy-based devices that damage melanin with heat or physical trauma in order to remove it, Procell works at a holistic level so that once the pigment is reduced, one weekend in the sun will not bring it all back!

And Procell’s Microchannel Delivery Serum, Post Care #1 Cellular Renewal Serum and #2 Healing Accelerator contain the complete array of peptides, growth factors and cytokines specific to regeneration and collagen production in human skin. The post care contain anti-oxidants including vitamin C, niacinamide, ceramides Capric/Caprylic, Chondrus Crispus Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Candelilla/Jojoba/Rice Bran, Iris Florentina Root Extract (Iris Isoflavones), Tasmannia Lanceolata Fruit Extract, Syzgium Leuhmanii Fruit Extract, Kunzea Pomifera Fruit Extractand a touch of retinol that can help reduce and balance pigment and help other topicals to penetrate better while reducing evaporation.
