Usually fine online

  • Fine lines and rough texture from sun exposure and age.
  • Starting and adjusting a prescription retinoid without too much irritation.

Go in person instead

  • Neuromodulator injections, fillers, lasers, microneedling and chemical peels are in-clinic procedures.
  • Any rough, scaly patch that doesn't heal, or a spot that bleeds: have it examined, since sun damage also raises skin cancer risk.

What an online visit involves

  • Photos of your face in even daylight, front and both sides.
  • Questions about your current routine, sun exposure, sensitivity and whether you're pregnant or planning to be.
  • A plan, typically a retinoid started slowly, with sunscreen and moisturizer.

Photo tips: Keep the same expression in every photo, relaxed, so changes are comparable. More in how to take good photos.

Where Nolla Derm fits

Nolla Derm lists wrinkles among its concerns: a prescription formula, reviewed by a licensed provider and adjusted monthly. It doesn't offer injectables, fillers or lasers.[4]

Services that treat it

  • Nolla Derm: asynchronous, ai-assisted care with clinician review.
  • Curology: subscription prescription skincare with a licensed dermatology provider.

Judge any of them with the six-point checklist. The AAD recommends every platform offer an in-person option when you need one.[5]
