Biologics are highly-targeted medicines that contain molecules from living organisms. Topicals include creams, ointments or gels applied to the skin.
What is it?
Biologics and topicals are advanced treatments used to manage a variety of skin conditions, from inflammatory disorders to chronic conditions.
Biologics are a class of medications derived from living organisms that work by targeting specific components of the immune system to reduce inflammation. They are typically prescribed for more severe or chronic skin conditions that don’t respond well to other treatments. Biologics are often administered via injection or infusion and can offer long-term relief by controlling the underlying immune response. These are often used for conditions like psoriasis, eczema and other autoimmune-related skin diseases.
Topicals are creams, ointments or gels applied directly to the skin to treat a wide range of conditions. They are used as part of a daily skincare routine to manage conditions such as acne, eczema and rosacea. Topical treatments are often prescribed to address specific symptoms and can be easily incorporated into your lifestyle. These can include corticosteroids, retinoids and moisturizers, which help manage symptoms, reduce inflammation or promote healing.
Both biologics and topicals are tailored to your individual needs, and our dermatologists will work closely with you to determine the most effective treatment plan for your skin.
