Hair Loss
Hair loss is natural, but we offer solutions to help restore your confidence and promote growth.
Our compounds treat a multitude of conditions including:
Bleaching Creams
Bleaching creams are skin-lightening products that treat age spots, acne scars, discoloration related to hormones, and other skin discolorations. Bleaching creams, also known as Tri-Hydro-Ret, usually contain triamcinolone, hydroquinone, and retinoic acid, along with hydrocortisone or other steroids.
Hydroquinone is the active skin-lightening component of bleaching creams. Retinoic acid helps fade hyper-pigmentation of skin, stimulates collagen to keep skin elastic, and helps skin stay hydrated. Triamcinolone reduces redness and relieves skin irritation, itching, and dryness.
Formulation Compounding Center has hundreds of variations of this popular skin whitener. Percentages of hydroquinone in our skin whitening products range from 2% up to over 12%. We can also include kojic acid, green tea, and other skin lighteners in compounded preparations, depending on your doctor’s requirements.
Acne Preparations
A large number of acne preparations are available. The most common acne preparations are compounds that use retinoic acid, benzoyl peroxide, steroids, clindamycin, erythromycin, azelaic acid, dapsone, and clotrimazole. Compounding pharmacies can custom blend these preparations to address each patient’s specific type of acne.
Formulation Compounding Center works closely with dermatologists to formulate each patient’s preparation for optimal results. Compounding pharmacists can even include multiple drugs in one compound for patients who have acne in addition to other skin conditions. Compounded acne treatments can also address the inflammation that often accompanies acne.
In many cases, the cost of our compound is far below the cost of commercial acne preparations available on the market. Call us today to find out if it’s possible to include multiple drugs in a single compound.
Non-Antibiotic Acne Treatments
Doctors who want to provide non-antibiotic acne treatments often look for formulas that use a niacinamide/lipoic acid cream or gel. Niacinamide helps preserve microscopic structures in the skin and acts as an antioxidant that fights free radicals. Lipoic acid, also known as alpha-lipoic acid or ALA, has anti-inflammatory effects and reduces visible redness and blotchiness.
Clinicians also look for formulas containing ascorbic acid, also known as vitamin C, for the treatment of acne. Ascorbic acid is an anti-inflammatory, and it promotes wound healing and prevents hyper-pigmentation that often follows inflammation.
Compounds that contain 4% niacinamide combined with ascorbic acid provide prompt acne relief. Compounded acne therapies that contain beneficial bacteria, known as probiotics, are also highly effective. Probiotics such as Lactobacillus Acidophilus, displace the bacteria that can cause acne.
Anesthetics (Numbing Compounds)
Anesthetics numb the skin. Formulation Compounding Center makes a number of numbing compounds, such as benzocaine, lidocaine, prilocaine, and tetracaine (BLT). All products are available in different concentrations and forms to block skin pain. Numbing the skin is helpful for the treatment of certain skin conditions but is particularly important during medical procedures.
We utilize a variety of bases to enhance the penetration of the active ingredients. This improves the effectiveness of these active ingredients during laser therapy and other dermatological procedures. Doctors can work with our team to determine the best type of base for specific procedures.
Scar Formulations and Scar Prevention
Pracasil-Plus and Copasil are making a significant difference in the lives of people with various types of scars. Pracasil-Plus and Copasil feature a highly effective proprietary blend of active ingredients that are ideal for skin healing.
PracaSil-Plus benefits skin conditions including:
- Appropriate for new or older scars
- Rich in lipids and fatty acids
- For use with or without active ingredients
- Formulated without dye, gluten, casein, parabens, or other allergens
- Anti-Aging
Wound Management
Wound management is an important aspect of dermatology, as proper wound care prevents infection and other complications. Wound care also speeds up healing while reducing the risk of scarring. Formulation Compounding Center in Lewisville offers a number of compounds with a wide variety of active ingredients, including:
- Phenytoin
- Gentamicin
- Misoprostol
- Sucralfate
- Aloe Vera
Hair Loss Medications
Medication can be an effective solution for hair loss, helping to slow thinning and even promote regrowth. Treatments like minoxidil and finasteride work by stimulating hair follicles and preventing further loss. With consistent use, these medications can improve hair density and boost confidence. However, results vary, and consulting a doctor is key to finding the best option.
