Skin Spot Injections We recommend the treatment of
Injected directly into the dermis.
Helps You Achieve a Radiant Complexion
A skin-brightening injection is a treatment in which a medication containing tranexamic acid is injected directly into the dermis using a syringe to address conditions such as melasma, dullness, and hyperpigmentation. By delivering tranexamic acid to the deep layers of the skin—where oral or topical medications have difficulty reaching—this treatment helps promote a brighter complexion.
Tranexamic acid is an ingredient that targets the inflammatory responses involved in melanin production and is used in treatments for melasma and other conditions. It is used to improve skin condition while taking into account changes in skin health caused by stimuli such as UV rays and friction.
However, even though dark spots may appear similar at first glance, there are various types, such as melasma, senile lentigines, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Melasma, in particular, can be difficult to diagnose and treat, and there are cases where it worsens due to inappropriate treatment. Therefore, it is important to first accurately identify the type and cause of the dark spots and select a treatment method tailored to each individual’s skin condition.
Careful, hands-on treatments and plans that are easy to stick with
Tranexamic acid injections for dark spots are not intended to produce dramatic results after a single session; rather, they are a treatment designed to even out skin tone through regular, ongoing sessions.
By undergoing approximately three treatments at intervals of 2 to 4 weeks, you can expect to see improvements in melasma and dullness. At YAYOI CLINIC, in addition to single-session treatments, we also offer a 3-session package designed to make it easier for you to continue your treatment.
In addition, our experienced cosmetic dermatologists perform the injections manually. We provide customized treatments to address your concerns, such as melasma and dull skin. Furthermore, we use topical anesthesia to ensure the procedure is as pain-free as possible.
POINT02
An option for those who want to minimize downtime or have difficulty taking oral medications
After a skin spot injection, mild redness or swelling may occur at the injection site immediately following the procedure, but these symptoms usually subside within 1 to 2 days. Even if bruising occurs, it typically fades gradually over 7 to 10 days. With relatively little downtime and the ability to apply makeup 12 hours after the procedure, this skin spot treatment is easy to incorporate into the daily routine, even for those with busy schedules.
In addition, while tranexamic acid is sometimes used as an oral medication for the treatment of melasma, oral administration may not be suitable for some individuals depending on their physical constitution, medical history, or other medications they are currently taking. Since the melasma injection involves administering tranexamic acid directly into the skin, it may be a viable option even for those who have difficulty taking oral medication. Please feel free to consult with us.
POINT03
Designing Injection Treatments for Age Spots and Melasma Based on Skin Analysis
Skin-brightening injections are used not only to improve melasma and dullness but also to reduce post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation following laser treatment. Furthermore, when combined with skin-rejuvenating injections such as “REJURAN®” and “Pluryal® Densify,” they help support both skin brightness and hydration. These treatments are expected to improve firmness and elasticity in skin showing signs of aging.
It should be noted that while melasma is typically characterized by symmetrical patches on the cheeks and forehead, it is not uncommon for it to coexist with other types of spots, such as senile lentigines. For this reason, a combined approach—including treatments for other types of spots, oral medications, and skincare—may be necessary.
At YAYOI CLINIC, under the supervision of Dr. Miyuki Iwama of Tokyo’s “BIANCA CLINIC,” we utilize skin analysis data from “VISIA®” to propose treatment plans tailored to the type of dark spots you have, your lifestyle, and your budget. If you’d like to achieve your ideal skin, please feel free to come in for a consultation.

Q&A
Frequently Asked Questions
Q
Do skin spot injections hurt?
A
Skin spot injections can be painful when the needle is inserted. For this reason, YAYOI CLINIC recommends the use of a topical anesthetic to alleviate the pain.
Q
How often should I get injections for age spots?
A
We recommend undergoing three sessions of pigmentation treatment, with each session scheduled once every 2 to 4 weeks. By continuing with these treatments, you can expect your skin tone to gradually improve. We offer personalized treatment plans tailored to each individual’s specific pigmentation concerns and lifestyle, so please feel free to consult with us.
Q
What are the ingredients in skin spot injections?
A
YAYOI CLINIC's skin spot injections use tranexamic acid as their main ingredient.
Tranexamic acid is sometimes used as an oral medication for the treatment of melasma; it is an ingredient that targets the inflammatory responses involved in melanin production. In skin-brightening injections, the solution is injected directly into the areas of concern to address melasma, dullness, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, with the goal of achieving a brighter complexion.
Q
How is the treatment for dark spots going?
A
While results after pigmentation-reducing injections vary from person to person, many patients report noticeable improvements in skin tone, reduced dullness, and changes in melasma after completing a series of three treatments, while monitoring their skin condition and progress with their doctor. The dark spot treatment uses tranexamic acid to suppress melanin production and aims to improve dark spots while balancing the skin’s condition. As you continue with the treatments, you will gradually notice changes in your skin’s texture.
Q
What is the difference between injections for dark spots and laser treatment?
A
Injection therapy and laser treatment take different approaches to treating dark spots. Dark spot injections involve injecting tranexamic acid into the skin’s deeper layers to target melanin production and inflammation, with the goal of reducing conditions such as melasma, dullness, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. On the other hand, laser treatment uses heat generated by the laser’s reaction with melanin to directly target the dark spots themselves.
For this reason, skin-lightening injections may be suitable for melasma and widespread dullness, while laser treatment may be appropriate for dark spots with clearly defined borders, such as senile lentigines. At YAYOI CLINIC, we carefully assess the type of dark spot and recommend the treatment best suited to each individual.
Q
Will injection marks turn into dark spots?
A
Bruising at the injection site may temporarily appear as a dark spot. However, this is usually a normal part of the healing process after the procedure, and the bruise tends to fade gradually over time. If the symptoms persist or you have any concerns, please consult the clinic.
Q
Where can I find a clinic in Hiroshima that offers skin spot injections?
