The consultation process is entirely digital and asynchronous. There are no video calls, waiting rooms, or appointment slots.

  1. Complete the clinical questionnaire: Answer focused questions about your rosacea symptoms, flare triggers, past treatments, and current medications.
  2. Upload clear photos: Provide high-resolution photographs of your affected facial areas so the reviewing doctor can assess inflammatory lesions, erythema, and barrier health.
  3. Doctor review within 24 hours: An EU-licensed physician evaluates your submission. If clinically appropriate, the doctor issues an official valid electronic prescription.
  4. Present your prescription: Download the prescription PDF directly from your secure account inbox. The prescription can be presented at any EU pharmacy, where the pharmacist reviews it and may dispense the medication or a locally marketed equivalent.

Who qualifies

A doctor evaluates whether topical rosacea therapy matches your specific subtype and medical history. Telemedicine treatment focuses strictly on mild to moderate facial rosacea managed with topical formulations.

Editorial still life illustrating Who qualifies
Who qualifies
  • Eligible: Adults diagnosed with or experiencing persistent central facial redness, papules, and pustules typical of papulopustular rosacea.
  • Formulary transparency: Soolantra is a brand name containing ivermectin 1% monotherapy. Hi-Doctor's medical team does not prescribe standalone Soolantra or monotherapy ivermectin. Instead, when clinically appropriate, doctors prescribe a targeted compounded papulopustular gel (ivermectin 1% + metronidazole 0.75% + niacinamide 2%) or azelaic acid 15% gel, combining complementary anti-inflammatory and anti-parasitic pathways.
  • In-person referrals: Ocular rosacea, rhinophyma (tissue hypertrophy), severe scarring disease, and cases requiring oral isotretinoin or oral antibiotics require direct physical examination and are not treated online.

What Soolantra actually does

Soolantra uses ivermectin 1% to reduce the inflammatory lesions of rosacea through a dual mechanism: reducing the density of microscopic Demodex folliculorum mites inhabiting facial follicles and inhibiting inflammatory cytokine cascades. However, rosacea is a chronic inflammatory disorder that is controlled rather than cured, requiring sustained long-term management.

Active Ingredient Clinical Target Expected Timeline
Ivermectin 1% (Standalone brand: Soolantra — not prescribed) Demodex mite overgrowth, inflammatory papules Initial response in 4–8 weeks; peak at 12 weeks
Compounded Gel (Ivermectin 1% + Metronidazole 0.75% + Niacinamide 2%) Demodex density, bacterial pathways, skin barrier repair Inflammation decreases in 3–6 weeks; ongoing maintenance
Azelaic Acid 15% Gel (Finacea / Skinoren) Follicular hyperkeratosis, papulopustular inflammation Noticeable reduction in 4–8 weeks

Lifestyle adjustments remain essential alongside pharmacotherapy. Sun exposure, heat, alcohol, spicy foods, and emotional stress trigger vascular dilation and can cause flare-ups regardless of the topical agent applied.

Side effects and when to stop

Topical rosacea medications are generally well tolerated, but localized skin reactions can occur during the first few weeks of application.

  • Common mild reactions: Transient burning, stinging, skin dryness, mild peeling, or localized pruritus. These typically subside as the skin barrier adapts.
  • When to pause and contact your doctor: Severe facial swelling, spreading contact dermatitis, intense persistent erythema, or eye irritation.
  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Topical ivermectin formulations are not recommended during pregnancy. You must disclose potential pregnancy during the questionnaire review.

Why Hi-Doctor vs. walking into a clinic

In Germany, seeing a dermatologist in an in-person clinic often involves waiting weeks or months for an appointment. Hi-Doctor provides a structured, asynchronous alternative for ongoing dermatological conditions.
