Our service ensures that you are safely monitored by a GMC registered doctor for a fully inclusive fixed price. Enjoy 5 star service from the UK’s largest and most established specialist in Roaccutane treatment. We’ve treated thousands of delighted acne patients since 2009, and we were the first to pioneer and perfect the online model for treatment.
Patients choose us to buy their Roaccutane treatment because the process is fast, easy and safe.
Accutane is one of the most effective treatments available for adult acne. It is a prescription only medicine that helps to dry oil glands and get your active adult acne under control.
When under the professional supervision of an appropriate prescriber, it is perhaps the fastest, most effective and longest-lasting treatment available today for adult-onset acne.
While the makers of Roaccutane do not claim it to be a cure and we can offer no warranty or guarantee, many patients are effectively cured in the long term, or enjoy several years to permanent relief from acne.
Getting a referral from a GP and waiting to see an NHS Dermatologist can take 6 months or more. While it may be cheaper, what is the value to you of enjoying those 6 months free of embarrassing adult acne that saps your confidence and self-esteem?
If your acne is causing scarring, then waiting for an NHS appointment may be causing permanent damage. At botonics, no GP referral is required and you are in charge of the pace of your treatment.
Video appointments to see the prescribing doctor and blood tests are generally available within several days, allowing you to have acne treatment quickly and at your convenience.
Whilst under the care of your Botonics doctor, we’ll also help build you a routine with potentially other products that are only available via prescription. Depending on your circumstances.

Many patients transfer in to us from copycat services once they discover the low prices initially quoted for the pay-as-you-go service quickly add up, or the service is slow and impersonal.
Roaccutane can have some serious side affects such as damage to internal organs, depression and can cause birth defects. This is why it is critically important to undertake a course of Roaccutane only under the professional supervision of an experienced doctor, do not buy roaccutane online without a prescription.
Prescribing the correct dose for you depends on numerous factors such as the severity of your adult acne and your body weight. Since it is strictly illegal to dispense Roaccutane without being under the care of a doctor in the UK, by definition if you’re buying online without a prescription, you are purchasing from a company that is already breaking the law.
The first step toward treatment is a video consultation with your botonics doctor. If assessed to be suitable for treatment, you can either do your first blood test at our lab in Harley Street (out of hours appointments available), or via postal kit. If applicable, you will need to do monthly pregnancy tests. Once all records are in your file, you will be prescribed your first course of Roaccutane subject to your blood and pregnancy tests.
Most courses of Roaccutane last 5 – 7 months during which time the skin may become red and dry. Often, acne becomes a little worse before improvement occurs. It is required that during the 5 – 7 months you will be required to take Roaccutane and for several months after, you do not become pregnant.

Risks & complications
Roaccutane can cause severe and long lasting damage to a patient’s health, which is why blood tests are critical and why the dosage must be prescribed by an experienced doctor. For women, Roaccutane causes birth defects so they must not become pregnant while taking the medication and for several months after finishing it. The medication can cause changes in mood, and causes dryness to the membranes (skin, mouth, eyes, lips, etc.) and sensitivity to light. It can also cause serious health issues such as a spike in cholesterol, drop in Gamma GTs indicating you've developed a neutropenia, etc. Therefore, the dose must be balanced to keep these side effects bearable during the 5 - 7 month treatment cycle. Because of these risks and inconveniences, Roaccutane is a treatment of last resort when a patient has exhausted other options such as over the counter treatments, oral and topical antibiotics. The key advantage of Roaccutane is that it has an extremely high success rate in resolving acne that cannot be helped in any other way. Patients who complete the course tend to enjoy benefits lasting from several years to the rest of their lives.

Common questions
£1,200 for men and £1,600 for women, as one fixed fee for the whole course, with three payment plans on both. That covers your consultation, both blood tests, every assessment, pregnancy tests where applicable, and all repeat prescriptions. The medication itself is bought separately from a pharmacy on prescription.
Your consultation is usually within a few days. From there it is typically less than a week to your first tablet, once your baseline blood test is done.
No. There is no referral and no waiting list, and you set the pace of your own treatment.
Most courses run 5 to 7 months. Skin often becomes red and dry along the way, and acne can get slightly worse before it improves.
The first phone call with our team is free and carries no obligation. It is there to check that Roaccutane is likely to be right for you. The video consultation with your prescribing doctor is the first step of treatment and is included in the fixed price.
The common ones are dryness of the skin, lips, mouth and eyes, and sensitivity to light. Acne often gets slightly worse before it improves.
Isotretinoin can also cause severe and long-lasting harm if it is not properly supervised, which is why blood tests are non-negotiable and why your dose is set and adjusted by an experienced doctor. It can affect mood. It can raise cholesterol and change liver and blood markers, which is what your regular tests are checking for. It causes birth defects, so you must not become pregnant during treatment or for several months afterwards.
This is why Roaccutane is a treatment for acne that has not responded to other options such as over-the-counter products and oral or topical antibiotics. Its advantage is a very high success rate where nothing else has worked.
Many patients are effectively clear for the long term, and some for life. Others relapse and take a second course. No clinic can guarantee a permanent result, and we do not claim one.
Yes. The service is entirely online and available anywhere in the UK. Blood tests can be done at the Harley Street lab or by postal kit, and medication is delivered discreetly.
