We use telemedicine technology to connect you with a Canada licensed doctor to provide nightly defense for skincare conveniently and affordably.
It starts with your online doctor visit. Your doctor needs to know about your general health and your skincare concerns.
They also need an unedited photo of you and your ID (that shows your picture and birthdate) so they know who they will be helping. A photo of your face is also helpful to evaluate your skin. They review everything, determine if you’re a candidate for telemedicine, and whether treatment is right for you, and if so, they will send you a personalized treatment plan.
Their treatment plan will include a great deal of information about age spot skincare. It is important that you take the time to read it all to be informed and better prepared to take care of your skin.
If you qualify, your doctor will prescribe the right course of treatment to help you take control of your skincare.
