# Compounded Skin Care

> Karpa Health gives clinics and entrepreneurs a turn-key platform to offer compounded skin care programs including tretinoin, azelaic acid, topical peptides, and custom formulations. Karpa handles intake, licensed prescribing through our 50-state network, pharmacy fulfillment, and patient follow-up, so you focus on growing your brand.

## Who this is for

- Entrepreneurs launching a cash-pay skin care clinic
- Aestheticians and estheticians expanding into prescription-grade products
- Med spas adding compounded skin programs to their menu

## The Compounded Skin Care Opportunity

The prescription skin care market is growing rapidly as patients seek alternatives to over-the-counter products. Compounded formulations with tretinoin, niacinamide, azelaic acid, and topical peptides offer personalized, medical-grade results that generic products cannot match. Clinics offering these programs enjoy strong patient retention and high lifetime value.

## How it works

### 1. Patient Completes Skin Assessment

Patients complete a branded intake form covering skin type, concerns, current products, and photos. Karpa captures everything a licensed provider needs to formulate a personalized plan.

### 2. Licensed Provider Reviews and Prescribes

A provider from our 50-state network reviews the case and issues a prescription for a custom compounded formulation. No medical license required on your end.

### 3. Compounded Formula Ships to Their Door

The prescription routes to one of our licensed compounding pharmacies. The custom formulation is prepared and shipped directly to your patient, branded as your product.

## Frequently asked questions

### Do I need to be a dermatologist or esthetician to offer this?

No. Karpa's 50-state provider network handles all prescribing. You run the business and the patient experience. A licensed provider from our network reviews each case and issues the prescription on your behalf.

### What skin care compounds can my brand offer?

Common formulations include tretinoin, azelaic acid, niacinamide, topical peptides like Sermorelin and GHK-Cu, hydroquinone blends, and custom combinations. The exact formulary depends on the compounding pharmacy.

### Can I brand the products as my own?

Yes. The patient experience, intake forms, and communications are all white-labeled under your brand. The pharmacy ships the product in packaging you configure.

### How do refills work?

Karpa automates refill reminders and the re-order workflow. Patients are notified when it is time to reorder, and the provider can approve refills quickly from the dashboard.

### Can I combine skin care with other programs?

Yes. Many partners offer skin care alongside weight loss, peptide, or hormone programs. Patients can be enrolled in multiple programs from the same Karpa account.
