Prescription Treatments

Many skin conditions cannot be managed with over-the-counter creams alone. Dermatologists are experts in prescribing specialist skin treatments — from topical therapies to advanced systemic medications. At DermLab, we provide tailored prescription treatments based on your condition, skin type, and medical history, ensuring both effectiveness and safety.
