Acne Treatment and Medication

Our telehealth prescription refill solutions provide a fast and cost-effective way to get evaluated for acne medications. If you meet the eligibility criteria, a board-certified doctor online will review your request and renew your prescription or start you on a new acne treatment regimen. Avoid unnecessary visits to the doctor’s office and enjoy greater convenience.

PonteVita Rx offers a convenient online prescription refill service for patients on routine and simple maintenance medications. However, not all conditions are appropriate for 1-year refills. If you need help with acne and skin care, we conduct an initial evaluation first and provide an online acne treatment prescription only if clinically appropriate and indicated.

Rather than the usual 90-day refill cycle, we offer a full year of prescription refills for patients taking simple and routine medications. PonteVita Rx can send prescription(s) to any pharmacy in the U.S. Whether you’re traveling, moving or forgot your medications, you can always have access to your medicine during your service with us. Send a message anytime to receive immediate online acne prescription refills to any location in the country.

PonteVita Rx offers a tier-based subscription model based on the medications you need to refill. You can choose from these plans: 

• $10/month to refill 1-2 medications. 
• $15/month to refill 3-4 medications
• $20/month to refill 5 medications

We collect the full-year payment upfront when you sign up for our service. Based on the plans above, your access to a full year of service today will be: 

• $120 for 1-2 medications
• $180 for 3-4 medications
• $240 for 5 or more medications

This means you won’t have to worry about making payments every month, and you can enjoy uninterrupted access to our services. 

If you want to start a new acne medication you haven’t taken before, please note that an initial evaluation with a healthcare provider for a new prescription costs $30.

PonteVita Rx makes prescription management hassle-free for eligible patients by offering a convenient and efficient online prescription refill service. With this, you can refill your acne medication online for up to a year. Our goal is to help patients like you stay on top of your skincare routine more easily through readily available prescriptions.

PonteVita Rx understands the importance of timely prescription access for patients, so we’ve made the prescription renewal process online as easy and efficient as possible. Once you’ve completed the renewal process, your online doctor will immediately send an electronic prescription for your acne to your chosen pharmacy. This can usually be picked up within the next 20 to 30 minutes.

PonteVita Rx healthcare providers offer evaluations for various conditions, including skin care concerns. They can provide new prescriptions to help manage conditions like acne, scar management, anti-aging, sun damage, photo-aging and wrinkle prevention if appropriate.

There are many effective methods of acne treatment available. However, the best treatment for you will depend on the cause and type of acne. Treatment approaches generally include a combination of topical medications, oral medications and lifestyle modifications. 

• Topical Treatments: For mild to moderate acne, topical medications such as retinoids and benzoyl peroxide can be effective. We can also use prescription-strength face washes like Sulfa-based antibiotic face wash or topical antibiotics like Clindamycin Lotion. These treatments help reduce inflammation, clear clogged pores and improve hyperpigmentation. 

• Oral Medications: In cases of more severe acne or when topical treatments are insufficient, oral medications like oral antibiotics or spironolactone may be necessary. These are typically used to fight bacteria and reduce the production of oils in the skin or to offset hormones that are driving acne changes. 
• Combination Therapy: For many patients, a combination of topical and oral medications yields the best results. PonteVita Rx evaluates your unique situation and may recommend a customized combination therapy. 

PonteVita Rx is here to help you determine the best combination and prescription strength for your skin type and acne condition.

There are a lot of different prescription medications available to treat acne.  Meeting with a doctor at PonteVita Rx can help come up with a plan that works for you.

Here are the most common categories and prescription-strength products used to treat acne:

It’s common for acne to naturally improve as you age, particularly after the teenage years when hormone levels begin to stabilize. However, some continue to experience acne into adulthood. 

Acne can naturally disappear within a week to a month, but it depends on the severity of the condition. Mild acne can go away with proper self-care, but persistent or severe acne requires medical treatment to prevent it from getting worse and causing scarring. An online doctor can prescribe medication, if appropriate, to help with not only severe acne but also acne scars and dark spots.

Squeezing, popping or picking pimples can leave behind acne scars, like deep pits, dark spots or wavelike textures. Topical treatments containing ingredients like retinoids, hydroquinone and alpha hydroxy acids can sometimes help with mild acne scarring by promoting cell turnover, skin lightening and improved collagen production. 

In some cases, you may be prescribed medication to tackle more persistent acne scars. Treatments like tretinoin cream or hydroquinone can benefit certain types of scars, though results can vary from person to person.

We recommend scheduling a consultation with our PonteVita Rx healthcare providers to discuss the specifics of your acne, scarring and wrinkle concerns and determine the most appropriate online acne and skin care treatment for you.
