What to know before your consultation

Who the consultation suits

The online skin consultation is for adults with a common skin concern that a doctor can assess from a questionnaire and clear photos. It is not the right route for severe or scarring skin problems, symptoms affecting the eyes, a dark spot that is changing, or anything that needs a physical examination. Pregnancy and breastfeeding are checked in the questionnaire, because they change what a doctor can safely suggest. If online care is not suitable, the doctor tells you and points you to in-person care.

How the consultation works

You answer a short medical questionnaire about your skin, your history and anything you already use, and add photos taken in daylight. An EU-licensed doctor reviews your answers personally and writes to you in the private chat in your account if anything is unclear. If a treatment is appropriate, the doctor issues an electronic prescription, and you collect the treatment at your own pharmacy and pay the pharmacy for it; each pharmacy decides whether it can dispense it. If the doctor cannot help online, the consultation fee is refunded in full.

Follow-up with your doctor

Skin care of this kind works gradually, so the doctor sets a review point in your plan. At the end of a course you start a follow-up consultation with new photos, and the doctor decides whether to continue, adjust or stop, and nothing renews automatically. You can write to the doctor in the private chat if something does not feel right or your circumstances change. Sudden swelling of the face or difficulty breathing needs emergency care on 112, not a chat message.

FAQs

Your questions answered

Skin treatment9 questions
Which skin conditions can you treat online?
Mild to moderate acne, rosacea, melasma and signs of skin ageing, with topical prescription treatments.
They help the doctor confirm the diagnosis. You can add them in the questionnaire or send them later in the chat.
The doctor tells you honestly, for example for severe cystic acne or eye involvement, and we refund the €40 fee.
Some treatments aren't suitable. The questionnaire asks, and the doctor chooses accordingly.
The consultation is for adults. You choose the pathway that matches your concern, answer a 5-minute questionnaire and add photos where needed. An EU-licensed doctor reviews everything in under 2 hours on average and may ask for more detail in the private chat. If treatment is appropriate, you get an e-prescription with a written routine and a review point, and you collect the medicine at the pharmacy you choose; each pharmacy decides whether it can dispense it.
In the first weeks, dryness, redness, peeling or stinging are common, especially with renewing creams, and some gels can bleach towels and pillowcases. Several treatments make skin more sensitive to the sun, so daily sunscreen is part of the plan. The doctor explains how to build up gradually, and persistent burning or swelling is a reason to message them in the chat.
For mild concerns, a gentle cleanser, a non-comedogenic moisturiser and daily sunscreen can be enough, and the doctor may tell you so. Some options are not offered online, such as oral acne treatments, chemical peels, lasers and other clinic procedures. If one of these suits you better, the doctor recommends seeing a dermatologist in person instead.
Topical treatments act slowly, so a course usually runs about three months, longer for fine lines. Mild irritation at the start is common, so keep going unless your doctor says otherwise. The review point decides the next step.
Nothing renews automatically. At the review point, you start a follow-up consultation at the same one-off price of €40 and send new photos. The doctor then decides whether to continue, adjust or stop. Rosacea and melasma often come back without maintenance, so the doctor may suggest a lighter routine and continued sun protection.
