Opsin Receptors in Melasma

NCT04417348

RandomizedParallel-groupOpen-labelBasic science

Summary

Melasma is a hyperpigmentation disorder that is probably exacerbated by visible light. Opsin receptors (OPN 1, 2, 3, 4 y 5) were described in the skin, being capable of activating melanogenesis induced by visible light. The aim of this study was to evaluate the expression of OPN in melasma skin and its changes following treatment with UV-Vis filter and 0.05% retinoic acid for 12 weeks.
