Prescription Medication
Prescription medications offer targeted solutions for managing severe skin conditions such as acne, rosacea, and hyperpigmentation. These treatments are tailored to address the underlying causes of your skin concern, delivering lasting results.
At The Clinica, our dermatological specialists ensure you receive the most effective prescription medications for your condition, monitored closely for optimal outcomes.
What is it?
Prescription medications are specialised treatments designed to address specific skin conditions that cannot be effectively managed with over-the-counter products. These may include topical creams, oral medications, or a combination of both.
For acne, options like topical retinoids, antibiotics, or oral isotretinoin (Accutane) are commonly prescribed. Rosacea may require anti-inflammatory creams, oral antibiotics, or treatments that target redness and flushing. Hyperpigmentation often involves prescription-strength creams containing hydroquinone or retinoids to lighten dark spots and even skin tone.
