How it works — get your consultation in 4 steps

Accessing care for photoageing is handled entirely online without waiting rooms or live video calls.

1. Complete the medical questionnaire: Answer focused clinical questions about your skin type, medical background, current skincare routine, and previous retinoid exposure.
2. Upload skin photographs: Provide clear photos of the target treatment area so the doctor can accurately grade skin texture, photoageing, and barrier tolerance.
3. Clinical evaluation: An EU-licensed doctor assesses your case within 24 hours. If treatment is clinically indicated, they generate an electronic prescription using Spain's official REMPE (Receta Médica Privada Electrónica) standard.
4. Prescription download: Access and download the prescription PDF directly inside your secure patient dashboard and email notification. You can print the document or show it on your mobile device at any community pharmacy in Hamburg or across the EU.

Who qualifies

Hi-Doctor provides evaluations for adult patients experiencing visible signs of skin ageing, fine lines, uneven texture, or mild photo-damage. A clinical photo upload is mandatory to ensure the prescriber has sufficient diagnostic clarity before formulating a plan.

• In-scope treatments: Topical solutions only, primarily Tretinoin 0.05% cream (Retirides) or compounded topical formulations containing tretinoin for hyperpigmentation.
• Absolute contraindications: Pregnancy, actively planning pregnancy, and breastfeeding. Tretinoin is strictly contraindicated in these groups due to teratogenic risks associated with retinoids.
• Out-of-scope conditions: Severe cystic acne, nodular skin disease, deep scarring, or systemic dermatological disorders. These conditions require hands-on physical examination, laboratory workups, and in-person medical care.

What Tretinoin actually does

Tretinoin (all-trans retinoic acid) is the gold standard topical retinoid with decades of clinical evidence in treating photoageing. Unlike over-the-counter cosmetic retinols that require metabolic conversion within the skin, prescription tretinoin directly binds to nuclear retinoic acid receptors (RARs).

This direct pathway accelerates epidermal turnover and stimulates fibroblasts to produce new type I collagen in the dermis. Because cellular remodelling requires multiple epidermal turnover cycles, visible skin structural improvements develop across a predictable clinical timeline:

Phase	Timeline	Expected Biological Effect
Retinisation	Weeks 2–6	Accelerated cell shedding, flaking, dryness, and temporary barrier sensitivity.
Epidermal Renewal	Week 12	Smoother surface texture, refined stratum corneum, and more uniform tone.
Dermal Remodelling	Months 6–12	Increased collagen I synthesis resulting in visible reduction of fine lines.

Side effects and when to stop

Most patients encounter mild retinoid dermatitis during early treatment. To manage irritation, apply a pea-sized amount of Tretinoin 0.05% cream at night onto completely dry skin, starting two to three nights per week before increasing frequency.

Tretinoin thins the outermost stratum corneum and increases photosensitivity. Applying a daily broad-spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen is mandatory throughout treatment to protect new cells from ultraviolet radiation.

Stop application and seek clinical guidance if you experience severe blistering, facial swelling, persistent burning, or contact dermatitis. Hi-Doctor does not prescribe oral isotretinoin or oral antibiotics; severe adverse reactions should always be evaluated in person by a local physician.
