We Protect The Skin You’re In

Our certified physicians will meet with you over video conferencing to address your skin complaints and goals of treatment.

You may also provide pictures of your skin to better allow the physician to assess your concerns. From there, the team can help to formulate a treatment plan with lifestyle recommendations, and medications if necessary.

Pillway is able to provide all Health Canada approved medications (both over the counter and prescription) for treating your dermatological conditions. Some of the common medications dispensed include oral and topical antibiotics for acne, corticosteroid cream and ointments for eczema and psoriasis, and antifungal creams for topical infections..

Acne
An inflammatory skin disorder that presents with redness, swelling and sometimes pus. Acne can be caused by build up of oily sebum and/or bacteria within pores.
‍
Eczema (atopic dermatitis)
An inflammatory skin disorder that is characterized by skin dryness, redness, scaling and itchiness that leads to peeling skin.

‍Psoriasis
An immunological skin disorder that is characterized by increased skin cell shedding and formation. This is an ongoing condition that can affect all parts of the body.

Creams are easily absorbed into the skin and are non-greasy. They provide rapid onset of action. Creams are preferred for their aesthetic benefits since it does not form an oily barrier like ointments.
‍
Ointments are oil-based and help to trap moisture in the skin. They are beneficial for skin areas that are very dry and scaly. Ointments are absorbed at a slower rate, which delays onset of action but prolongs the therapeutic effects because medication remains on the affected skin area for a longer period.

For scalp lesions and hair-bearing areas, lotions are the recommended base for medications.
