How it works: get your consultation in 4 steps

Getting your acne treatment evaluated in Madrid is entirely digital. There are no video calls, appointments, or clinic waiting rooms.

1. Complete the medical questionnaire: Answer focused clinical questions about your skin history, current symptoms, and previous treatments.
2. Upload clear photos: Provide high-resolution photographs of the affected skin areas so the doctor can evaluate lesion type and severity.
3. Doctor review: An EU-licensed doctor reviews your clinical profile and determines whether a topical retinoid combination is safe and appropriate.
4. Receive your valid electronic prescription: If approved, an official Spanish private digital prescription is issued in under 24 hours, downloadable as a PDF from your account.

Who qualifies

Online consultations are designed for adults dealing with mild to moderate facial or body acne. Because safety is paramount, treatment is strictly topical.

• Eligible: Adults with comedonal acne (blackheads, whiteheads), inflammatory papules, or pustules who are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Photo requirement: You must provide clear photographs of the skin to allow proper clinical grading.
• Out of scope: Severe nodulocystic acne, deep conglobate lesions, and active scarring cannot be treated online. Patients requiring oral isotretinoin or oral antibiotics are referred to in-person dermatologists.

What Differin actually does

Differin contains adapalene, a third-generation topical retinoid that modulates cellular turnover and prevents microcomedones from forming inside hair follicles. However, Hi-Doctor's doctors prescribe adapalene 0.1% formulated in combination with benzoyl peroxide 2.5% (the formulation found in Epiduo and Acniduo) rather than adapalene alone.

Adding benzoyl peroxide provides rapid antimicrobial activity against Cutibacterium acnes without triggering bacterial resistance. This dual mechanism addresses both hyperkeratinisation and bacterial proliferation simultaneously.

Topical retinoid therapy requires patience. Mild retinoid purging, redness, and flaking are common between weeks 2 and 6 as cellular turnover accelerates. Noticeable clinical improvement is assessed at 12 weeks of continuous once-nightly application.

Side effects and when to stop

Local irritation is common during the initial weeks of adapalene application. Applying a non-comedogenic moisturiser and daily broad-spectrum SPF helps minimise skin barrier disruption.

• Expected initial effects: Mild dryness, localised peeling, erythema, and transient stinging upon application.
• Managing sensitivity: You may buffer application by applying moisturiser first or reducing frequency to alternate nights during the first two weeks.
• When to stop: Discontinue use immediately and contact a healthcare provider if you experience severe burning, swelling of the face or eyelids, hives, or intense blistering.

Why Hi-Doctor vs. walking into a clinic

Securing a dermatology consultation in Madrid through traditional channels can take weeks or involve expensive private clinic fees. Hi-Doctor provides a direct, fully compliant alternative for non-emergency dermatological care.

Your consultation costs a flat €40 with zero financial risk: if the reviewing doctor determines that topical treatment is clinically inappropriate, your fee is refunded in full. When approved, your prescription is generated via Spain's official the valid electronic prescription electronic system (Receta Médica Privada Electrónica).

You receive an official PDF with a verifiable QR code inside your patient dashboard and via email. In Spain, any pharmacy can scan the valid electronic prescription QR code to verify it against the central registry; across the EU, under Directive 2011/24/EU (with prescriber and product details structured under Commission Implementing Directive 2012/52/EU), pharmacists review the prescription and may dispense the medication or a locally authorised equivalent.

A doctor reads your photos, not a quiz result.

Complete the online questionnaire and add photos of the affected skin. An EU-licensed doctor reviews both and, if a topical treatment is clinically appropriate, issues a valid electronic prescription in under 24 hours. If no prescription is issued, the €40 fee is refunded in full.
