The UK's First Online Dermatologist Service Has Arrived
If you're struggling with a skin flare-up but can't find the time to see a dermatologist, then a new website could provide the solution. You can now get expert and most importantly regulated tailored advice from Dermatica, the UK's first online dermatologist service.
The site provides guidance for conditions such as acne, as well as other skin concerns like premature ageing and pigmentation, before delivering customised medicinal products to your door, chosen specifically for your complexion. In some cases, you may even get your selected products the very next day.
What's more, the service is designed so that you always receive your next set of products before you are likely to finish your existing ones, meaning your regime doesn't suffer from that annoying gap you often get as you wait to find time to restock your prescription or shop-bought skincare regime.
So how does it work?
Sign up for a free consultation on the website.
2. Then, choose your main skin concern and where it affects you (your body or your face). This will generate new questions about your skin's characteristics, from its moisture levels, tone and the nature of your problem, including whether you suffer from scarring or any hyper-pigmentation.
3. Next, enter any prescription creams or tablets you have taken previously and whether they were effective or had side effects for your skin like excess dryness. This section also contains queries about whether any skincare products have had an adverse effect on your skin in the past.
4. You can also submit a picture of your skin to document the appearance of particular issues should you wish. A qualified dermatologist can then use this as the basis for a telephone consultation, before providing you with your personalised medically-approved treatment plan.
5. Now you'll discover your recommended skincare and have it delivered to your door.
The service starts from £19.99 per month, which is pretty reasonable compared to a private dermatology appointment.
Just like with any skincare, we'd also recommend that you're cautious when using new prescription products, by building up your use of them gradually and always applying as per the instructions. Not to do so could mean you suffer from skin sensitisation or even a worsening of your condition. If you're worried, you could check with a dermatologist in person before starting the new regime.
That said, if you are looking for a quick and convenient way to address your skin concerns without a random Google search, the site is worth a visit - even if it is just to tide you over until your next face-to-face dermatologist visit.
