Roaccutane with Botonics

The experience I’ve had with Botonics has been great! My very first experience with a private dermatologist, and I think I’ll be keeping it this way after the time I’ve had with them.
I was initially slightly sceptical since it seemed too good to be true. I only knew of private dermatologists that you had to be with in person, or of course, through the NHS. However, because you can do most of the process online, such as the consultation and the checkups, it was highly convenient for me and helped with my busy schedule.

For a few years, I suffered from bad acne, and through the NHS, after countless months of waiting, I was able to get prescribed Roaccutane. Unfortunately, after a few years, my acne returned and having experienced the terrible waiting time with the NHS I decided to seek other providers/remedies. Luckily, I stumbled upon Botonics!
My experience with Botonics has been excellent. After an initial consultation that was booked within a week, I received the prescription within the next 2 weeks. Going through Botonics allowed me to avoid the tedious process the NHS has in place.

Since I had previously completed a cycle of Roaccutane, I was very aware of the process and what to expect. Fortunately, this time was much smoother with fewer side effects, i.e. nose bleeds and painful joints. Dr Divya informs you of everything you need to know and what you can do to make the process easier.

Dr Divya helped me through this whole process and checked on me regularly to ensure everything was going as planned. So excellent guidance is provided throughout your medication. The entire team is brilliant and everyone I have interacted with has been incredibly welcoming and helpful.

I have already recommended Botonics to a few of my friends. This is a decision I would not think twice about!

Roaccutane Experience

I found Botonics online after struggling with acne for a few years. I had tried everything - duac, epiduo, tret, doxycycline, lymecyline etc. I just can’t believe the way that the last six months has gone, I look at old pictures in shock. I feel so confident in my skin now!

I had my consultation with Dr Divya in August, who was a great listener and very informative. I always thought that my acne was in that awkward limbo state where my skin definitely wasn’t clear, but perhaps not quite ‘bad’ enough for accutane. Dr Divya assured me that everyone’s experience with the drug is different. She was right! Apart from the dry lips (which you might need tonnes of Aquaphor for), I haven’t had any negative side effects. It’s been pretty smooth, which is very different from what I’ve heard online prior to being on the drug. I think there’s a lot of misconceptions about accutane and prescribed skincare in general. I just wish I had done my own research a bit sooner, maybe I would have found Botonics earlier than I did.

For me, the purge happened around the 5th or 6th week. It wasn’t anything crazy, but I guess when I was taking a drug everyday for the past month I started to think that maybe it wasn’t working. But I have never had a breakout clear up that quick. And while I had the occasional new spot here and there over the next few months, they were no where near what they were previously. And for the past 10 weeks since finishing my course, my skin has been completely clear. I could not be happier with the results.

The entire process from start to finish has been great. I have had monthly consultations with Dr Divya, regular blood and pregnancy tests, and home-delivered prescriptions. The customer service from Botonics has honestly made the experience a lot more enjoyable.

All in all, I’m honestly so happy with my results. I don’t think I can express my gratitude to Dr Divya and the entire Botonics Team enough!

Accutane review

I first approached Botonics in July 2022 when I was really struggling with my acne and severely oily skin, my confidence was ruined and it was really effecting my mental health to the point where I never wanted to leave the house and when I did I was really self conscious. As a male in their late 20s I wasn’t surrounded by friends who struggled with their skin and this made the whole experience so much worse for me.

I approached botonics and got an appointment with Dr Divya the next day and had a lovely chat with her team on the back of the appointment too, the cost of the treatment was really fair and a no brainier for me when i was reviewing the reviews for them. I was on the medication after some blood tests that I was able to send back via post and quickly started the medication all within a week.
Dr Divya checked in on me every few weeks and helped me reach the correct dose needed to finish the treatment. It was totally worth it as it has cleared my acne completely, the support doesn’t end there either as the team have kindly prescribed me some products to keep my skin clear going forward and have made it clear that I can always email and contact them if I need any advice.
I will never be able to put into words how grateful I am to the team for helping me get my confidence back, I would very highly recommend the team. They are fantastic :)

Botonics Isotretinoin Treatment

I am writing this review to share my experience with the isotretinoin treatment from Botonics and to express my gratitude for the wonderful service I received.

I have struggled with persistent acne for many years and have tried numerous products and treatments, but nothing seemed to work effectively. That is until I discovered Botonics and their isotretinoin treatment. I had filled out my information for a free consultation and within a couple weeks i was ready to go. The one thing that made this whole process so much easier than going through my GP was that there was no 6 month waiting line for me to get on Isotretinoin.
From my first consultation, the staff was knowledgeable and informative, explaining the treatment process and answering any questions I had.

The treatment itself was incredibly effective, and I noticed a significant improvement in my skin within just a few weeks. My acne cleared up completely, and my skin was left looking and feeling smoother and clearer. I was also impressed by the professionalism of the staff, who were always available to answer any questions or concerns I had.

In addition to the amazing results I received from the treatment, the service provided by Botonics was top-notch. The staff was friendly, supportive, and went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable throughout the entire process. They were always available to answer any questions or concerns I had and were genuinely invested in my success.

Many people worry about the side effects however, as long as you follow Dr Divya's advice and are strict with your water intake as well as moisturising, you should be completely fine.

In conclusion, I highly recommend Botonics and their isotretinoin treatment to anyone looking for an effective solution for acne. The results are truly amazing, and the service provided by the staff is outstanding. I cannot thank Botonics enough for giving me the clear, beautiful skin I have always wanted.

Roaccutane transformed my skin and my confidence

Before I found Botonics, I’d had acne for 18 years on and off and had tried everything from different medications to prescription skincare - none of which had worked for me. I was on a waiting list for roaccutane for a long time with the NHS but there was a huge backlog from Covid-19 and no sign of being able to start treatment soon.

After contacting Botonics, I had a consultation within two days with a lovely, kind and understanding doctor, Dr Divya. I was able to start treatment soon after completing a home blood test kit which was really convenient. The team were so helpful in answering all my questions and explaining how the process worked. They were also extremely organised in arranging monthly checkups with the doctor - I never had to chase things up.

Initially I was afraid that the side effects of the medication would be awful but I couldn’t have had a better experience on roaccutane. I would describe my side effects as mild and they included dry lips, dry eyes, some redness on my face, occasional muscle cramps and occasional fatigue. But this was nothing compared to what I was expecting. I used Eucerin Aquaphor for my dry lips and eye drops to help my eyes. The dosage was tailored to my weight throughout, which I think really helped reduce the side effects.

The medication has completely transformed my skin and given me a confidence that I’ve never had before. It started to work in three days for me and within two weeks, 80% of my spots had disappeared which was amazing! My skin didn’t feel dry, tight or uncomfortable throughout but I did find that makeup didn’t sit as well, as it showed up some dry patches. But, in all honesty, I didn’t need makeup for most of my treatment and still don’t wear it now, as my skin is so clear!

I can’t thank the Botonics team and Dr Divya enough for giving me the skin I always dreamed of! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone who is struggling with acne.

Amazing skin transformation

I found Botonics after a long struggle with acne and they have undoubtedly transformed my skin. I have beautiful clear skin now! The entire process of starting the medication was so fast and easy and I loved the regular consultations with the doctor which are a great way of checking in and voicing any concerns. The accutane truly does work - there is no doubt about that and the customer service from Botonics really makes the whole journey super enjoyable.

My skin was really painful before, it was textured, painful pimples and I also had a picking problem which was only exacerbated by the fact that I had acne and it seemed never ending. I tried pretty much everything and the picking only scarred my skin further. As a final attempt, I found Botonics by searching for roaccutane online and got in contact immediately. They reviewed my skin and got the medicine dispatched to me immediately.

Every month you have to send a pregnancy test and pics of your skin to track your progress and based on your progress the doctor changes your dose accordingly. Personally for me the side effects weren’t even that bad. My lips were obviously extremely dry but my face skin did not dry out at sll. My eyes were really dry too but I took eye drops for that which helped mitigate the issue.My nose bleeds stopped after the first few months and I was regularly changing dose based on my needs which was great.

My only regret is that I didn’t find Botonics before!! I recommend to anyone who was struggling for so long like I was. This will truly transform your life if acne is something that is knocking down your confidence. There is also potential for skin aftercare which Botonics can offer you after your accutane journey. :)

The best service for Roaccutane! Quick & professional

The reviews for this place speaks for itself really and I wholeheartedly agree with them! I have had the most reassuring, easy and professional experience with Botonics and I now recommend them to every friend who is struggling with acne.

I had been struggling with acne since secondary school and although some antibiotics through the NHS helped, the majority of the treatments were disappointing and my acne eventually turned cystic. I found the lack of contact with a dermatologist (and the several years long waiting list to see one on the NHS!) all too much - so, I decided to google how I could get straight to a private dermatologist within the intention of going on Roaccutane. This led me to this exact trust pilot page where the clinic has raving genuine 5* reviews so I decided to take the plunge.

The initial consultation was free and Dr Divya was so kind, friendly and informative about the treatment that it really put me at ease knowing I was in good hands - I was especially nervous about the potential side effects I had read about online.

About a month in, I could already see a big difference in the texture of my skin as well as reduction in acne and although some I had some minor side effects (dry skin, muscle aches), Dr Divya was always quick to advise me on how best to manage them and I eventually got over all of them towards the end of my treatment. The dose of the medication was increased slowly to allow for this and weaned off carefully too.

Now, 2 months after completing my Roaccutane course, my skin has thankfully remained as clear as promised and I could not be more grateful to the team. This was 100% the best investment I have ever made and I will continue to come back to Dr Divya and the team for any treatments I require in the future! Thank you so so much!

Roccutane experience

I found botonics after trying many kinds of acne products and skincare lines and over the counter products that really made no difference to my skin because I didn't believe it addressed the root cause which for me was absolutely an overproduction of sebum. I knew roccutane could address this issue and was happy to go down a private route especially with the current state of the NHS.

I contacted the group and heard back within the same day to arrange a free consultation with an experienced doctor who was available for me the whole way through the process. She made sure it was the right treatment for me and arranged medication doses and delivery after an initial blood taste to ensure it was safe for me to take. Very soon after this I was on the Roccutane journey!

The doctor will talk through side effects which are normal and what to expect, for me it was dealing with lots of dryness which is typical and can be managed through moisturising and eye drops. I could feel the medication working after a couple of weeks when my skin was significantly less oily, I personally didn't purge but I know this can vary and my skin started clearing up and looking really good after a couple of months. No other skin care products had made my skin look this good and I was really happy I went for it.

I feel great about my skin now having completed treatment, I was wary to do it because of the side effects but if nothing else is working for you I'd say go for it because the side effects can be managed and the dose discussed with the doctor so that the process is as comfortable as possible.

Fantastic experience using Botonics for acne treatment

I used Botonics to treat my acne with Isotretinoin and my experience from start to finish was excellent. They are helpful, responsive and the treatment has genuinely changed my life. I had always suffered from occasional cystic spots on my chin but when I reached my early 30s it became far worse and I started getting multiple cysts at the same time, as well as painful spots all over my neck and back and shoulders. I had tried everything (antibiotics, topical treatments, herbal supplements, laser, etc) and nothing worked - my skin got so bad at one point that I didn't want to leave my flat.

I was hesitant to spend so much money in one go on acne treatment but I'm so glad I did - it's worth every penny and in the long-run has probably saved me money as I won't have to spend as much on other treatments/skin care to get rid of the acne going forwards.

My experience of Isotretinoin itself was pretty smooth - my skin did purge initially and I had incredibly dry lips throughout the treatment (for which Aquaphor ointment was a lifesaver) but other than that and some intermittent backache, I had no obvious side effects and by the third/fourth month I was completely spot free.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Botonics for this treatment, they answered any questions I had quickly and it was a really smooth process from having the initial consultation over the phone, to getting the blood tests done, receiving the medication, having regular phone check ups and eventually - six months later and with no spots whatsoever - being discharged!

If you’re sat on the fence about treatment with botonics, take that leap. You wont regret it :-)

So, let me just start by saying that I have dealt with sever acne since i was 13 (now 20) and the NHS has never failed to make things worse with a number of failed treatments and extremely long wait times which has always made me feel hopeless and unfortunately my acne only ever got worse as i aged.

In June 2022, Id had enough of waiting and started doing some research on what treatments helped compared to what treatments didnt for my acne and i stumbled across botonics.

Firstly id like to admit it that normally id just scroll google for treatments and then forget about it all as i just thought my stubborn cystic acne would always return or worsen, but botonics had a very user friendly website which helped breakdown prices and fortunately backed their promises up with many many testimonials of previous patients explaining how happy they now are with their treatment.

I decided to opt for a free call from Dr Divya to discuss treatments and voice some concerns that I’ve always had. This call really changed it all for me and following this free call i decided to just take a leap of faith and start my treatment. I started on 100mg/day of isotretinoin, from day 1 my symptoms were strong but Dr Divya and the team at botonics made sure i was always looked after and comfortable with him the levels of treatment i was receiving.

Thankfully, after month 1 my skin looked completely different and the confidence i felt within myself had exploded.

Following on from that, Dr Divya organised monthly check ups for me to monitor my health and make sure all was well and as I continued my treatment my skin gradually improved until today 12/01/23 where i can say i have never felt better and my skin is as clear as it has been since i can remember.

Ill be giving botonics 5* as the extreme professionalism and attention to detail given to me by the team at botonics has helped me change my life and feel a level of confidence ive never felt before and for that, i cannot thank them enough.

If youre thinking about taking roaccutane and are worried about symptoms, pricing and all round processes involved in this treatment, please just organise a call with botonics, all will be cleared up in your mind and on your face/body :-) great company.

Efficient accutane treatment

I have suffered with adult acne for close to a decade, and have tried the usual antibiotics and topicals to control it. The only treatment that was able to clear my skin was birth control, which was a temporary solution to a long term problem. After coming off birth control my skin was the worst it had ever been, and so I sought accutane treatment.

Having briefly been prescribed accutane via the NHS, I can say that the process of receiving treatment privately was much easier and quicker. From my inquiry I was offered a free virtual consultation within days, at a time that suited me. I was given a thorough outline of my treatment plan and there was no pressure to sign up for treatment. From being approved for treatment, the process of being sent a postal blood test and receiving my first batch of medication was super quick and efficient. I started treatment within a couple of weeks. My check ups have been easy and convenient as they are virtual, and responses to emails/calls are always informative and prompt.

I experienced an initial purge when I first began treatment, which is something I expected. I am now on my 3rd month of medication now and am only dealing with 1 or two spots and scarring from my previous acne. I still have 3 months left to go so cannot wait to see how clear my skin becomes. My only side effect has been dry skin/lips which are worth the long term results.

My acne has always been persistent and leaves behind hyperpigmentation, which is almost worse than the acne itself. Not having to worry about clearing the acne and then dealing with the hyperpigmentation will be a relief. The condition of my skin at 3 months is already so much clearer and has improved my self confidence. I’m glad I chose to start accutane treatment as it is one of the most effective long term solutions to acne. I’m happy I decided to seek treatment with Botonics as the whole process has been made so simple and easy.

Isotretinoin review

I had been suffering from bad body acne for over 5+ years and my GP would constantly only prescribe topicals and antibiotics which were not working for me. Because the area was the back and shoulders it was also very hard and time consuming to constantly apply topical treatment on there everyday and it was a losing battle

The waiting list was also incredibly long, even more so during Covid which is what directed me to search for online safe providers who provide Isotretinoin. This is where I found Botonics, and decided to go ahead after reading the brilliant reviews.

The process of getting started was very simple, I had an initial consultation with Dr Divya who was treating me throughout. Once everything was verified and they deemed me suitable for treatment after reviewing pictures and a blood test, the medication was then dispatched.

I had regular check-ins with Dr Divya who was brilliant throughout & responded to all my queries during the check in calls. Botnics also offered good email support if I had any concerns or questions regarding side effects, which I did a few times. They were quick to book a check up with me to speak to Dr Divya.

Overall, the treatment was very smooth & has been very refreshing for me not having to spend so much time constantly applying a topical all over my back and shoulders & that the medication is working from the inside out rather than just masking the issue as a short term treatment.

My treatment ends this week & i am so happy and grateful with the results! I will also be using a topical from Botonics that will help with fading the dark marks that are left over. Dr Divya also gave me some great advice on how to minimise the acne coming back where I won't need to use a topical treatment again unless it flares up.

5-star Roaccutane service

I had been dealing with acne for the past 3 years and I had exhausted all the usual oral and topical antibiotics that a GP can prescribe so I was referred to an NHS dermatologist who put me on roaccutane for 5 months but took me off too prematurely and my acne came back very quickly. I couldn't get another referral for months and I had my second year of uni coming up after summer and I was very self-conscious about my skin. So in June 2022, I found Botonics online and went through their website and keyed in some information about my history with acne. Within 30 minutes I had received an email detailing arrangements for a free consultation over the phone for a few days later. The doctor was very helpful and understanding and clearly outlined the whole process from start to finish and answered any questions I had. I was then sent out a postal blood test which was painless and very easy to do. Once I had sent that away I had my tablets sent to me within the next few days once my blood had been tested. I had regular check-ups over the phone with the doctor and they were always on time as scheduled. The only side effects I experienced was dry skin and dry lips during the initial purge phase but the purge really wasn't that bad and only lasted a few weeks. the dry lips remained for the remainder of the course but it was nothing that couldn't be handled with lip slave. My skin started looking much better within a few weeks of starting the medication and continued to improve and now I'm spot free. i did have a few questions during my treatment and all I had to do was email Botonics and I had a reply very quickly. It is now the 4th of January 2022 and I'm now a lot more confident about my skin and myself and it has made my want to go out and do more things because with acne I never really wanted to leave the house. I would 100% recommend the Botonics Roaccutane service to anyone dealing with acne as it is stress-free, simple and very well organised and you can start your treatment very quickly and don't need to wait for months on a waiting list.

A no-fuss option for those looking to get on accutane treatment asap

I have tried all manner of acne / rosacea treatments over the years - with little sustained success. Accutane felt like my last real option. NHS lead times were at >12 months, and I wasn't confident I'd even get a prescription, so I decided to go private with botonics. The initial consultation was quick and reassuring. I started treatment very soon after the consultation and blood test (quick posting of meds). The blood tests were at a lovely, professional clinic and made me feel confident that treatment was right for me. I was surprised at how quickly I started seeing results from the medication, which was a massive relief. The botonics team were on hand throughout and any questions I had were answered by the doctor to my satisfaction (though I didn't experience any unexpected side effects luckily). As expected, I experienced a lot of dryness (particularly lips) and found that not drinking alcohol was the best approach - but the medication had fewer side effects overall than expected and the team provided great product suggestions. No major purges or regressions thankfully and I feel confident that I won't need another cycle. Really glad I took this option and would recommend botonics, particularly - if like me - you are in the 'low risk' bracket (on birth control, no mental health issues in the past etc.) and just want quick results and professional guidance.

Isotretinoin Experience

After around 10 years of trying different antibiotics and topical treatments for the acne on my back, I was finally referred to an NHS dermatologist to start Isotretinoin. However, the waiting list was over a year long so I searched for a private service and came across bontonics. The online reviews were brilliant so I thought I’d give it a go.

I could book my first consultation within a few days and started my treatment within 2 weeks of the first consultation.

I can’t complain about the service that I have received at all. The team would email me each month to book in my next consultation. All consultations were done over the phone which was perfect as I work full time so could fit this in around work. Appointment were often in the evening or weekends, which worked perfectly for me.

All information and instructions that were sent via email were extremely easy to understand and answered most of the questions that I had.

I chose the postal blood test option which was an extremely easy and convenient service. The instructions on how to submit the postal blood test were extremely clear and easy to follow.

I did experience quite a few side effects such a muscle aches and hair loss, but the team were always willing to answer any questions that I had and Dr Divya always checked whether my symptoms were manageable or whether I wanted to decrease my dose. If you emailed the team, you would receive a response within a day or 2 and Bill, Michelle and Cassie were extremely kind and helpful!

I have just finished my 6 month treatment and I honestly could not be happier with my skin. My confidence has improved massively and my back is completely clear. Overall, the service that was provided was brilliant!

Do not wait any longer!

I am 26, and have suffered from acne since I was 13 - so literally half of my life. Over the years, I have been told by doctors to try different creams, I have taken antibiotics, and found that as hard as I tried to educate myself on skincare to try and self manage, I just could not get clear skin. For all of my teen years this took a massive toll on my confidence, but I thought that when I became an adult it would clear up - this was not the case. Continuing through my 20s, I tried everything possible, and no luck.

Last year, things got even worse with my skin, and after realising I had tried everything, I had almost given up. There was one more option to try which was isotretinoin. I tried to get it through the NHS, but was put on a year long wait list just to get a consultation - at this point, I had had enough. I truly had nothing to lose, and out of despair, started googling other ways to get treatment. I came across Botonics and saw that they offered free consultations which is rare. I then went straight to the reviews and read many of them, a lot of people I could relate to, and saw how positive people's experiences were.

I booked a consultation and within days, was told that I was a viable candidate for the treatment. My doctor was sympathetic and understanding in a way that I hadn't experienced with others, which made me feel like I was in safe hands. After a quick blood test, I got given the all clear and had the full supply of medication delivered to me quickly. Within two weeks of finding Botonics, I was ready to start the treatment.

I must stress that everything ran so smoothly with Botonics. I was always contacted on schedule, and any questions I had were answered super quickly and thoroughly. I really felt like I was finally on track.

I was worried about the treatment as I had seen and heard many stories of it being incredibly tough - but at this stage with my acne I was willing to take the risk. That being said, the process was great. My skin was particularly bad when I was getting ready to begin, almost as if it knew I was away to go on this treatment. Within the first week, my spots had almost completely vanished off my face. I had no purging, my skin just felt tighter immediately and all the blemishes shrunk - this was so wonderful as I was expecting the worst.

Before starting, I was informed by my doctor about the products I would need and the habits I would need to begin in order to make the next 6 months as easy as possible. I scaled back my skincare routine, wore SPF everyday, and stayed as hydrated as possible.

Throughout the process, there was the odd side effect that would appear, but they were all manageable and would subside in a day or two. When this happened, I just sent Botonics an email and got information on how to manage it that same day. The main one that persisted was dryness, but even then, it wasn't too intense when managed with the right products - all recommended to me so I didn't need to research myself. I have friends who have done isotretinoin before and they were surprised to see how manageable my experience was - I put this down to how spot on Botonics has been at analysing my body and considering my dosage.

Despite beginning during a very hot Summer in London, I didn't have any issues with sunburn or excessive dryness - instead I was able to enjoy the season and feel confident about myself in a way I haven't felt ever before. I would say that during the 6 month period, I experienced maybe 4/5 spots, and they all came and went much quicker than they would before starting treatment.

Of course I wish I had done this a lot sooner, and I put it down to all the negative information out there that put me off - it took me coming to my breaking point with my skin that I was finally willing to try it. My skin is so smooth, I have no scars or redness, no excessive oiliness. My face looks different, I feel like I look like how I am meant to look - I look back at the picture I took on day 1 and I don't recognise that person. This confidence boost has opened me up socially, and has allowed me to come out of my shell in ways I didn't expect.

Botonics have truly changed my life in a very quick 6 month period and I could not recommend them more. If you are in a similar position to where I was - sick of trying everything, and just want rid of your acne once and for all - please do yourself a favour and book a consultation because it is worth it. The transformation you will undergo, not just on the outside, but internally too, is priceless.

I’ve suffered with acne for 10 years…

I’ve suffered with acne for 10 years now, I have tried all cosmetic you can think of that’s on the market, I’ve had prescription creams as well as antibiotics and spent tons of many on facials that we’re supposed to be cure my acne after a few visits. After many fails and no change at all I’ve decided to go for Accutane. With Botonics I very much enjoyed that I didn’t have to attend any consultations in person which saves A LOT of time and I was able to start the treatment basically immediately. Their customer service team was available also during the weekends so the communication was very smooth. I was very lucky with no side effects apart from dryness, which is a very small price to pay for spotless skin. The purging stage lasted roughly 2 months but I wouldn’t say that my acne was worse during that time, it just kept “happening”, however, i knew that it is part of the journey and it will eventually stop. As it did. My nails were also much more delicate during my accutane journey and my skin was more prone to scratches. But that is, once again, part of the process. I think it was somewhere between the 3rd and 4th month when my skin got completely acne free to the point when I wouldn’t even get a hormonal breakout before my period (which would absolutely not be the case before). Now it’s been a month that I’ve been off the treatment and my skin is completely acne-free! I don’t get breakouts even when I’m on my period and honestly I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. And it goes without saying my mental health has improved so much as well since I feel much more confident now. It is a pricey treatment but it’s 100% worth it.

My successful experience with Botonics

I was acne prone since my teenage but I managed it well with a diligent skincare routine. However, after the Covid Vaccine, I had an adverse reaction and an uncontrollable acne attack. I tried several rounds of antibiotics and topical creams and lotions prescribed by my GP, nothing worked. My self esteem was affected and I felt desperate. At this point, I was unwilling to wait for a specialist appointment on the NHS. So I contacted Botonics.
My photographs were assessed by the doctor and after an in depth telephone conversation, I was prescribed Isotretinoin.
The medication was posted to my home and the doctor called me regularly to check on my progress. In addition, I was well supported by the other members of the team via email and I was welcome to call them anytime for clarification.
I felt assured that I was on the correct medication because the acne began to clear up after two weeks. I completed the course at six months and I am now completely acne free.
Botonics is a professional, caring team who have restored my confidence. My only regret is that I wish I had contacted them sooner!
I highly recommend Botonics to anyone who is in need of immediate and efficient help.
Thank you Botonics for taking care of me medically and emotionally.

Roaccutane

I have suffered on and off with skin issues for a number of years, and tried a number of over the counter products with mixed but ultimately little success.

Via a google search I cam across Botanics and made an initial enquiry with regards to Roaccutane medication. The initial consultation was made very quickly following this and I had a call with a very knowledgeable and friendly doctor who talked me through all the information and steps required. Following this I was provided with a no obligation price, which I took up.

Within around 1 – 2 weeks of my initial enquiry I had received my prescription and began taking the medicine and prescribed dosage, so the process was incredibly quick. The prescription arrived with clear instructions of how many tablets to take, advice, possible side effects etc.

Whilst I am only part way through my treatment, I am very pleased with the results so far and given how easy the whole process has been, do wish I had started sooner. I have been having regular check ups with the doctor via the telephone once they have reviewed update photos, and the general response to any questions has been very quick throughout, and the whole team are very friendly. Botanics have been very responsive and I haven’t had to chase them for anything, if anything it has been the other way around which has all been very positive. All appointments have gone ahead as planned and started exactly on time.

The treatment has been very positive, and as mentioned I have been very pleased with the results. I personally have suffered very little side effects other than dry skin, however daily moisturising and lip balm has meant this has not become an issue, and completely worth it for the results. Botanics have also provided lots of advice to stay on top of this and any other potential side effects it may cause.

I certainly feel better since taking Roaccutane and would highly recommend Botanics to anyone thinking of it to at the very least make an inquiry, but the whole experience has been a positive one.

Botonics have been amazing from start…

Botonics have been amazing from start to finish. I have suffered with acne on and off since being a teenager and when I had my most recent flare up, I went to my local doctors for support. I left feeling extremely deflated and let down, having being told I couldn’t get accutane, unless I tried all the other options via the gp first. I asked how long this might be, and they mentioned it could be upto a year before a referral to a dermatologist. I knew this wouldn’t work, as I have tried everything before and it did nothing at all. I couldn’t bare the thought of having to wait a year and imagine how bad my skin could be by then.

Instead I decided to Google how I could get accutane privately. After being recommended Botonics by a friend and seeing such amazing reviews, I decided to enquire. It was an amazing experience from start to finish. I got a reply from my enquiry almost instantly and had an initial consultation around 2 days later. Everything is done online / via WhatsApp video call, which makes everything easier and more accessible. Within the first call I was given thorough details on the treatment, cost and options. Within a couple of days, I received my blood test kit through the post and a couple of days later I received my accutane treatment. No trips to the hospital for blood tests or regular check ups. Everything can be done from the comfort of your home.

I had a few checks in via video call during my treatment, where I could ask questions and update on my journey. Within a couple of weeks, my skin was considerably better. Then a few weeks later it was completely spot and blemish free. I have now come to the end of my treatment and I couldn’t be happier. My skin is the clear and the best it’s ever been and my confidence has come back.

Thanks Botonics for your amazing customer service and for helping me achieve clear skin!!!
