A prescription tailored to your skin type & condition
Bespoke Prescription Compounded Creams
What are bespoke prescription creams?
A bespoke cream is a treatment created specifically for you and your skin. These creams contain prescription ingredients that are only available from a dermatologist and cannot be bought over the counter.
Bespoke creams are designed to target your particular skin condition. The ingredients and their concentrations are chosen to suit your individual skin type and needs.
What does “compounded” mean?
A compounded cream brings together several ingredients, both prescription and non-prescription, into one formulation. This means you only need to apply a single cream rather than several separate products.
This tailored approach allows your treatment to be both more convenient and more effective, as what works well for one person may not work for another, even with the same condition.
The formulation is created by your dermatologist in partnership with a compounding pharmacist. It can be adjusted depending on how your skin responds or whether you experience any side effects.
How do I obtain a bespoke prescription cream?
As these are prescription-strength treatments, an in-person consultation with Dr Flann is required. During your appointment, Dr Flann will assess your skin, discuss your concerns and goals, and decide on the most suitable formulation.
Once prescribed, the cream is prepared by the compounding pharmacist and sent directly to your home address.
What is the cost?
There is a one-off cost if you wish to try a bespoke cream for the first time. Each cream has an expiry date, which varies depending on the compounding pharmacist.
For patients on a stable prescription, a monthly subscription can be arranged. The cost will vary depending on the compounding pharmacist and the specific formulation used.
When you need more, contact Dr Flann to discuss whether any adjustments are needed before the next batch is prepared. She will also advise when a review in clinic is required.
