If you are looking to get Soolantra online in Essen, you need a medical evaluation for papulopustular rosacea. While Hi-Doctor does not prescribe the standalone brand-name Soolantra, EU-licensed doctors evaluate your skin online and can prescribe targeted topical formulations containing ivermectin, metronidazole, or azelaic acid when clinically appropriate. You complete an asynchronous questionnaire with photo upload from home, pay a 40 € one-off consultation fee, and a doctor reviews your case within 24 hours. If approved, your REMPE electronic prescription can be presented at any EU pharmacy, where the pharmacist reviews it and may dispense the medication.

Who qualifies
Telemedicine dermatology is designed for adult patients dealing with mild to moderate facial rosacea. Doctors evaluate symptoms based on diagnostic criteria established in European dermatological guidelines.
- Eligible conditions: Persistent facial redness (erythema) and inflammatory papules or pustules on the central face.
- Topical scope: Treatments prescribed through Hi-Doctor are exclusively topical formulations.
- Out-of-scope conditions: Ocular rosacea, rhinophyma (tissue hypertrophy of the nose), and severe cystic lesions require in-person specialist assessment and are not treated online.
- Systemic drugs: Oral isotretinoin and oral antibiotics are not prescribed through this service.
Over 50,000 patients have accessed asynchronous medical consultations through Hi-Doctor, receiving clinical decisions under EU data protection standards.
What Soolantra actually does
Soolantra is a branded topical cream containing 1% ivermectin. It acts via an anti-inflammatory mechanism and reduces the density of Demodex mites, which reside in hair follicles and trigger immune responses in rosacea-prone skin.
Hi-Doctor does not prescribe Soolantra monotherapy. Instead, when inflammatory rosacea is diagnosed, our doctors may prescribe a compounded papulopustular gel containing:
- Ivermectin 1%: Targets Demodex proliferation and dampens local inflammatory pathways.
- Metronidazole 0.75%: Provides broad antimicrobial and antioxidant action against inflammatory lesions.
- Niacinamide 2%: Strengthens the epidermal barrier, reduces trans-epidermal water loss, and calms redness.
For primary persistent redness without bumps, doctors may alternatively prescribe azelaic acid 15% gel or a compounded erythema cream containing metronidazole 0.75%, niacinamide 4%, micronised azelaic acid 10%, and allantoin 0.5%.
Side effects and when to stop
Topical antiparasitic and anti-inflammatory therapies are generally well tolerated, but transient local reactions can occur during the first 2 to 4 weeks of application.
- Common reactions: Mild stinging, transient burning, localized dryness, and temporary skin irritation.
- Initial flare: Some patients experience a temporary increase in bumps during weeks 1–2 as Demodex populations decline.
- When to stop: Discontinue use immediately and seek urgent medical care if you develop signs of severe contact dermatitis, facial swelling, hives, or difficulty breathing.
