Dermatology-related medications
These are medications created and made available by acquiring deeper scientific and technical knowledge about human skin. In this context, the term "dermatology" has two meanings, which are explained below.
I. Treatment for which the skin is the target organ
Medical treatment focusing on the skin
II. Treatment for which the skin is the site of application for medication
Administering medication via the skin
In other words, "dermatology-related medications" refers to medications for treating the skin, and also to medications for which external application is the format and delivery-route.
Boutique company
In its general sense, the word "boutique" means a small specialist store handling high-class womenswear, accessories and other items: it denotes a store which specializes in order to supply customers with high-quality merchandise.
A "boutique company", which is what Maruho aspires to be, is a high-quality specialist company: a specialist company supplying high-quality products in order to make a high-quality contribution based on a strategy of specialization.
