How Online Skincare Treatment Works
Telehealth skincare has grown rapidly over the past few years. For common conditions like acne, anti-aging concerns, melasma, and rosacea, a licensed physician can review photos of your skin, evaluate your history, and prescribe treatments β often including custom-compounded formulas that combine multiple active ingredients like tretinoin, hydroquinone, niacinamide, or antibiotics into a single cream or gel.
For suspicious moles, growths, or conditions that need biopsy or in-person examination, telehealth isn't appropriate β you'll need to see a dermatologist in person. A good telehealth physician will refer you when that's the case.
