The treatments

What we prescribe

A full menu of prescription-strength, compounded skincare actives. Your provider helps you choose the right treatment — and the right combination — for your skin and goals.

How it works

Your routine, in three steps

1

A provider matches your actives

A licensed provider reviews your skin, history, and goals, then selects the prescription-strength actives that fit your concern.

2

Compounded into one routine

Your actives are compounded by a U.S. 503A partner pharmacy into a simple routine built for your skin — no guesswork, no juggling products.

3

Results over 4–12 weeks

Skin turns over gradually. Most people see meaningful change over the first several weeks of consistent use, with continued improvement over time.

Every skin concern is different. Tretinoin, brightening agents, acne actives, and peptides each target a different layer — which is why a provider tailors the combination to your skin rather than a one-size-fits-all product.

Questions, answered

Skin & Aesthetics FAQ

What is tretinoin? +
Tretinoin is a prescription-strength retinoid — the anti-aging gold standard. It speeds up skin-cell turnover and stimulates collagen, which over time smooths texture, softens fine lines, and helps with breakouts and uneven tone. Because it's stronger than over-the-counter retinol, it's prescription-only and reviewed by a licensed provider.
Is it compounded and custom? +
Yes. Rather than a one-size-fits-all product, a licensed provider selects the actives and strengths that fit your skin, and a U.S. 503A partner pharmacy compounds them into a single routine — for example, tretinoin paired with niacinamide and hyaluronic acid to reduce irritation.
How do I fade dark spots? +
Brightening actives like hydroquinone and kojic acid target hyperpigmentation, sun spots, and melasma by interrupting excess pigment production. They're often combined with a retinoid to speed results. A provider reviews your skin and recommends an appropriate brightening approach.
What about acne? +
Topical antibiotics like clindamycin or erythromycin clear active breakouts at the source, and are frequently paired with a retinoid to keep pores clear over time. Your provider tailors the combination to how your skin actually behaves.
How do I use it, and what about purging? +
Most topical routines are applied at night to clean, dry skin, starting a few times a week and building up as tolerated — always with daily sunscreen. Some people notice a short "purging" or dryness period in the first few weeks as skin adjusts; your provider explains how to start slow and manage it.
How long until results? +
Skin turns over gradually, so give it time. Many people see meaningful change over roughly 4–12 weeks of consistent use, with continued improvement beyond that. Results vary by person and concern.
