A Rapid Assessment involves an electronic response (no live appointment) directly from a Dermatologist to a patient, in 24 hours guaranteed. Provincial healthcare does not insure this type of service. ​

​

Sometimes your skin concern just can't wait for months or years. We offer this service for individuals looking to get high-quality, on-demand care from a Dermatologist within 24 hours.

If you desire a live video appointment instead, please choose that option here

All Rapid Assessments are performed only by a Canadian Board-Certified Dermatologist with a minimum of 9 years of medical training. (French Dermatologists available upon request)

Yes, a receipt can be provided with every Rapid Assessment

Below are some examples of when patients have used this service: ​

• Get a new prescription for pimples

• Switch away from current benzoyl peroxide medication/skincare

• Get an acne prescription refill

• Get a prescription cream for a minor facial rash

• Get skincare product/regimen advice

• Get a topical prescription for hair loss

Please note: Rapid Assessments cannot provide prescriptions for oral medication that requires ongoing monitoring, such as ‘Accutane’, nor can it address other concerns that require in-person care

For Accutane, please book a video appointment here

You will be refunded minus a 6% external credit card fee.

For monthly subscriptions, you can submit an alternative skin/hair concern for that month. Or, you can cancel anytime before the Dermatologist provides their assessment to you that month.
