Melasma is a chronic acquired disorder of facial hyperpigmentation that significantly affects quality of life. Both intralesional tranexamic acid and mandelic acid chemical peels are effective treatment options with favorable safety profiles in darker skin types. However, comparative evidence in South Asian populations is limited. This study aims to compare the efficacy, safety, quality of life outcomes, and patient satisfaction of intralesional tranexamic acid versus mandelic acid peel in patients with facial melasma treated at Combined Military Hospital Abbottabad.
