Ordering some of our physician recommended products
When you order our physician recommended skin care products, such as Ela-MAX® or NeoStrata™, you will be required to submit a brief Rx questionnaire with each transaction to complete your order. Because of our site technology and authroization requirement by our board physician, existing customers will need to re-submit their questionnaire with each transaction to verify that the information is up to date. We plan to update this process in the future to make it more convenient for our returning customers.

The questionnaire is used only to evaluate these products for approval of home use and is kept completely confidential on our SSL (Secure Socket Layer). There is a PREVIEW of the questionnaire on product pages where required. A LINK to this Rx questionnaire will appear at the end of your ordering process. Simply complete the questionnaire and click the SUBMIT button.

This questionnaire must be updated and submitted with each purchase. Your order will not be processed without the completion of the Rx questionnaire.

To make changes to your questionnaire, click the Update Personal Information link at the bottom of the tomigion.com Home page. NeoStrata and Ela-MAX orders are limited to a maximum of 2. Our NeoStrata products cannot be sold outside of the US.
