How it works: get your consultation in 4 steps

Acquiring prescription-grade pigment correction does not require navigating local clinic waiting lists in Alicante. The entire clinical evaluation happens online in four distinct steps:

1. Complete the clinical questionnaire: Answer questions about your skin type, previous depigmenting treatments, and medical background.
2. Upload clear skin photographs: Provide well-lit photos of the affected pigmentation so the doctor can assess pattern, depth, and skin tone.
3. Doctor clinical assessment: An EU-licensed doctor reviews your case. When clinically appropriate, the doctor issues a valid electronic prescription in under 24 hours.
4. Collect at your pharmacy: Download the official the valid electronic prescription PDF containing a unique verification QR code. You can present the PDF on your phone or print it for any pharmacy in Alicante or across the EU.

Who qualifies

Hydroquinone is a regulated, prescription-only depigmenting agent indicated for specific hyperpigmentation disorders. A doctor evaluates every patient to verify eligibility before prescribing:

• Melasma and chloasma: Hormonal or UV-induced facial patches that have not responded adequately to over-the-counter brightening serums.
• Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH): Dark marks remaining after resolved superficial acne or minor skin trauma.
• Adults over 18: Patients must be non-pregnant and non-breastfeeding, as hydroquinone is contraindicated during pregnancy.

Hi-Doctor provides topical dermatology treatments only. Severe, nodular, cystic, or scarring skin conditions, as well as cases requiring oral isotretinoin or oral antibiotics, cannot be managed online and are referred to in-person care. In-clinic procedures such as laser, intense pulsed light (IPL), and deep chemical peels are also out of scope.

What Hydroquinone actually does

Hydroquinone acts as a potent tyrosinase inhibitor. Tyrosinase is the primary enzyme responsible for converting L-tyrosine into melanin inside melanocytes. By blocking this enzymatic pathway, hydroquinone reduces the synthesis of new pigment granules while existing epidermal melanin naturally sheds.

Depending on clinical assessment, our doctors may prescribe single-agent hydroquinone 4% cream (such as HQUIN), hydroquinone 4% gel (such as Licoforte), or a compounded melasma formula combining hydroquinone 4% with tretinoin 0.025%, kojic acid 2%, and niacinamide 4% (a modified Kligman-style formulation). Compounded formulas accelerate epidermal turnover and enhance depigmenting efficacy.

Clinical improvement typically appears between weeks 4 and 8. Full therapeutic evaluation occurs at 12 weeks of nightly use.

Melasma relapses easily when exposed to sunlight. Broad-spectrum SPF 50+ photoprotection every single day is not an optional add-on—it is the foundational treatment. Tinted sunscreens containing iron oxides provide crucial protection against visible light, which standard mineral-only filters cannot block.

Side effects and when to stop

Hydroquinone is prescribed in structured, defined courses (typically 8 to 12 weeks) rather than for indefinite continuous use. Controlled cycles minimize the risk of adverse reactions while maximizing pigment clearance.

• Expected mild reactions: Mild transient redness, skin dryness, and slight peeling often occur during the first 2 weeks as your skin adapts.
• When to pause and consult: Severe erythema, stinging, or swelling indicates contact dermatitis. Stop application immediately and message your doctor through your account.
• Exogenous ochronosis risk: Unsupervised, prolonged continuous use over many months can lead to bluish-black pigment deposition (ochronosis). Always follow the exact duration specified by your doctor.

Why Hi-Doctor vs. walking into a clinic

Securing a dermatology appointment in Alicante often involves lengthy delays at private centres or language barriers for international residents. Hi-Doctor streamlines access to clinical care while maintaining medical rigor.
