What patients say about Miiskin

Very happy with this service. Quick and easy. With someone with not the greatest insurance and super busy. This was perfect. Got my prescription next day and great advice for my condition.

I had a great experience with Miiskin – I was able to get my prescription very quickly and their app is easy to use. It was very convenient and their team is very responsive. I highly recommend them and will likely use them in the future for other skin issues.

What a technology! I was very impressed by the speed of communication with a doctor using the Miiskin app. Losing my hair has been my biggest concern, but I didn’t have the courage to reveal my bald spot to a doctor in person. Miiskin solved all my issues instantly. I just took a photo in my own room, uploaded it, and wrote about my concerns. That’s it. The best part is that without insurance, the consultation fee was much lower than any health insurance. I submitted my photo at midnight and received a prescription the very next morning. The doctor at Miiskin was very professional and empathetic, which really helped ease my emotional distress. Although I’m just at the beginning stage of my treatment and haven’t seen significant results yet, I feel reassured and supported. I will definitely upload my progress in 3 to 4 months to show my appreciation for the prescription from Miiskin.

My dermatologist was extremely quick, reviewed my consultation request within 2hrs and I had my Rx the next day! The Miiskin team also responds within minutes and are very polite and communicated concisely. I’ll never make a in person appointment again after experiencing this outstanding and affordable telehealth service!

Quick response from the dermatologist — I wanted a fast turnaround for a skin concern that would be more immediate than going through health insurance, making an appointment, traveling to the doctor.

Frequently asked questions about topical finasteride and minoxidil solution

What does it mean if a medication is compounded?

Compounded medications are custom-made by licensed pharmacies, based on a prescription from a healthcare provider for an individual patient. These medications are not reviewed or approved by the FDA.

How are compounded drugs different from FDA-approved medications?

FDA-approved drugs go through extensive FDA review to confirm their safety, effectiveness, and quality. Compounded medications, on the other hand, are not FDA-approved and do not undergo FDA review. They are prepared when a provider decides a patient may benefit from a personalized formula.

Can every pharmacy make compounded medications?

No. Only certain pharmacies are licensed and equipped to prepare compounded medications. If your provider prescribes one, they will work with an authorized compounding pharmacy.

How do patients receive compounded medications?

If prescribed, the medication is prepared by a compounding pharmacy and then dispensed to the patient, often shipped directly to their home.

Why would a doctor prescribe a compounded medication?

Sometimes an FDA-approved option may not meet a patient’s needs. In those cases, a provider may decide that a compounded preparation is appropriate. This decision is always made based on professional judgment.

How are refills handled?

If your dermatologist decides a refill is appropriate, they can issue a new prescription, and the compounding pharmacy will prepare it for you.
