How it works — get your consultation in 4 steps

Consulting an EU-registered doctor online in Vigo is straightforward, private, and entirely asynchronous.

1. Complete the clinical questionnaire: Answer questions about your skin type, pigment history, current routine, and health status in under 5 minutes.
2. Upload clear photographs: Provide well-lit photos of the affected facial or body areas so the doctor can accurately grade pigment depth and distribution.
3. Doctor review: An EU-licensed doctor assesses your case within 24 hours to determine clinical suitability.
4. Receive your REMPE prescription: If approved, your downloadable REMPE PDF is delivered to your secure patient portal and sent by email.

Your REMPE prescription carries Spain's official private digital signature. Under Directive 2011/24/EU and Commission Implementing Directive 2012/52/EU, cross-border prescriptions contain all required practitioner and product identifiers. You can present the printed PDF or show the digital file at any community pharmacy in Vigo or across the EU, where the pharmacist reviews the document and may dispense the medication. Pharmacists retain the professional discretion to refuse dispensing.

Who qualifies

Hi-Doctor's dermatology consultations are designed for adult patients dealing with localized epidermal hyperpigmentation. To qualify for consideration, you must:

• Be an adult (18+) residing in Spain or another EU Member State.
• Have diagnosed or visible melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), or solar lentigines.
• Not be pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding (hydroquinone is contraindicated in pregnancy).
• Have no active skin infections, open lesions, or suspected malignant cutaneous growths in the treatment area.

Hi-Doctor strictly provides topical dermatology treatments. Severe, cystic, or scarring skin conditions requiring oral isotretinoin or oral antibiotics are not treated online and are referred to in-person clinical care.

What Hydroquinone actually does

Hydroquinone is the gold standard topical depigmenting agent. It acts as a competitive inhibitor of tyrosinase, the rate-limiting enzyme responsible for converting L-tyrosine into melanin inside melanocytes.

Treatment Option	Active Formulation	Target Indication	Typical Cycle
Hydroquinone 4% Cream / Gel	Hydroquinone 4%	Localized melasma, epidermal PIH	8 to 12 weeks
Compounded Melasma Formula	Hydroquinone 4% + Tretinoin 0.025% + Kojic Acid 2% + Niacinamide 4%	Resistant mixed melasma, uneven texture	8 to 12 weeks
Daily Photoprotection	Broad-spectrum SPF 50+ (tinted iron oxides)	UV and high-energy visible light protection	Continuous / Indefinite

Depigmenting results develop gradually. Noticeable pigment lightening typically begins around week 4 to 6 of nightly application, with peak benefits seen at week 8 to 12. Melasma is a chronic, relapsing condition driven by hormones, UV radiation, and visible light. Depigmenting agents lighten existing pigment, but daily broad-spectrum SPF 50+ is an absolute clinical necessity to prevent immediate relapse.

Side effects and when to stop

Topical hydroquinone requires careful, timed application cycles. Treatment should generally be paused after 3 to 4 months to minimize risks.

• Expected mild reactions: Mild erythema, transient stinging, localized dryness, or subtle flaking during the first 2 weeks.
• When to reduce frequency: If moderate irritation occurs, reduce application to alternate nights and apply a bland barrier moisturizer.
• When to stop immediately: Severe burning, blistering, swelling, or signs of exogenous ochronosis (a rare blue-black darkening associated with continuous, prolonged misuse).
