Frequently asked questions

How does the Advanced Acne Video Consultation work?
This service is best suited to those who want to explore all options out there for their acne.
Your video consultation will be held online via a video conferencing platform just like Zoom or MS Teams, except you do not need to register or create an account. You will be sent a link to it and will be able to access it on your personal computer (PC), laptop, tablet, or smartphone. It’s super easy.
You can click the link anytime, but we would advise doing so a few minutes before your appointment to check everything is working for you and to get comfortable.
When you click the link, you enter a virtual ‘waiting room’ where you will be held until the doctor is ready to see you. Don’t worry, you may feel like you are all alone, but your doctor will know that you are waiting.
When your doctor begins the video call, expect them to check your ID so please have it ready. All you need to do is hold it up to the camera and the doctor will check it against our records.
Assuming all is well, you and your doctor can start addressing your skin concerns. Take your time explaining what has been happening with your skin.
At the end of your consultation, your doctor will guide you through the next steps.
How does the Advanced Acne Photo Upload Service work?
This option is best suited for those with mild acne, looking for a quick or gentle treatment option.
You will be asked to complete a comprehensive questionnaire that has been specifically designed to obtain the same information that a dermatologist would typically ask you in a clinic.
Afterward, you will be provided a space to upload photographs of your skin issue. When you log in to your account there are guides available via the Resources section on how to make sure you take good quality photos. Remember, the better the photos the more the doctor can help you.
With your questionnaire answers and photographs, a consultant dermatologist should be able to address your case, create a clinical letter and arrange a prescription if needed. They can also provide you with additional education material.
Occasionally more information is required, and your doctor will reach out to you. Don’t worry, this does not cost extra.
How does the Advanced Acne Spironolactone Service work?
This option is best suited for those with hormonal acne, looking for specific skin therapy. It is for females only.
You will be asked to complete a comprehensive questionnaire that has been specifically designed to obtain the same information that a dermatologist would typically ask you in a clinic.
Afterward, you will be provided a space to upload photographs of your skin issue. When you log in to your account there are guides available via the Resources section on how to make sure you take good quality photos. Remember, the better the photos the more the doctor can help you.
With your questionnaire answers and photographs, a consultant dermatologist should be able to address your case, create a clinical letter and arrange a prescription if needed. They can also provide you with additional education material and you will need to sign a consent form.
Prescriptions typically require renewal every 2-3 months so a 'follow up' will be authorised for you, meaning refills can be requested by booking the same service again. For follow ups, your questionnaire will be much more streamlined than the first time you booked.
Occasionally more information is required, and your doctor will reach out to you. Don’t worry, this does not cost extra.
What will happen if I decide to stop the treatment before the recommended course ends?
Choosing to stop treatment is your choice but it is highly advisable to inform your doctor before you do as it is well known that stopping early is associated with a higher chance of your acne returning just as bad as it was before.
What happens if my blood tests show abnormalities during the treatment?
Your doctor will review your blood test results as soon as they have been received and if there are any significant abnormalities, they will contact you with advice. Occasionally there will be minor (insignificant) changes but if you have concerns, please contact us.
What happens after my treatment course ends? Will I need further treatment or follow-ups?
Once you and your doctor decide that the treatment course is almost over then you may need one more appointment, but usually not. It would depend on how much treatment you still need and how much can be safely prescribed to see you to the end of the course.
