      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: In the group treated with tranxamic acid: Prior to treatment, local anesthetic treatment, a 2.5% lidocaine hydrochloride plus 2.5% prilocaine for 20 to 20 minutes will be applied on site. for injection an insulin syringe 30 Gage will be used Injections will be done at intervals of 1 cm at a volume of 0.05 cc at each point , at concentrations of 4 mg per cc , weekly for 12 weeks in each area. Intervention 2: Intervention group: In the laser treatment group, forty-five to sixty minutes prior to treatment local anesthetia  (a combination of 2.5% lidocaine and 2.5% prilocaine) will be applied on face to protect the eyes from the laser  , eye shield is applied to the eye, and single-pulse laser with these specifications is done for the patients.Lasers are performed at intervals of four sessions for patients.Low fluence fractional Q-switch Nd yag laser: fluence:1.3j/cm2 – energy:500- spot size:7mm-frequncy:5Htz.</i_freetext>

      <results_IPD_description>What will be shared:
All of the above is publicly available, Except for cases where patients are identified

When:
Start the access period 4 months after printing the results

To whom:
Researchers working in academic institutions

Conditions:
This data will be provided to researchers only for the purpose of allowing future studies and planning of future studies,In the case of direct use of data in future studies, the Center's intellectual property rights should be maintained

Where to obtain:
Secretariat of the skin and Stem Cell Research Center 02122215558

How to obtain:
In order to access the patients' data, coordination with Mrs. Mahmoodbeig should be carried out and a letter asking for access to the data be delivered to them, so that, after coordinating with the head of the research center, this work is feasible

Method of measurement: clinicaly by the physician. face is divided into four parts: forehead, right malar, left malar and chin , and the degree of severity of melasma is measured based on three criteria. The percentage of area ( from zero to six points) and the degree of darkness are also categorized from zero to four points.</prim_outcome>
