Precautions regarding tretinoin and hydroquinone
In recent years, with the increase in personal imports of tretinoin and hydroquinone, skin problems due to incorrect use are increasing.In fact, many such cases have been reported, and our hospital is currently receiving an increasing number of inquiries about rashes, redness, vitiligo, etc. caused by misuse of imported products.
Tretinoin and hydroquinone contain more powerful ingredients than general cosmetics, and in Japan, they are medicines that require consultation and prescription from a doctor.When using this product, be sure to follow your doctor's instructions and follow the dosage and directions for use.
At our clinic, our doctors provide counseling each time, and prescribe the product after determining the concentration and frequency of use according to each patient's skin condition.
Tretinoin/hydroquinone therapy
At our clinic, we also offer treatments that combine light therapy and laser therapy.By combining multiple treatments, higher effects can be expected due to synergistic effects.
*Tretinoin and hydroquinone are uniquely formulated at our hospital.As long-term storage is not effective, please be sure to use it within one month and discard it at home after that.
[Tretinoin]
<Side effects> A retinoid reaction (skin dryness, peeling, redness, itching) may occur, but the reaction will gradually subside as your skin becomes accustomed to it.
