Over the past few years, telehealth has transformed how we care for skin. With more than 15,000 virtual dermatology visits completed, we've seen firsthand how effective this model can be — when done thoughtfully.

What began as a short-term solution during the pandemic has become a permanent, patient-centered way to deliver expert care. And for many skin concerns, it’s just as effective as an in-person visit.

Why Teledermatology Works So Well

1. Dermatology Is Visual by Nature

While all medical specialties rely on physical examination, dermatology is uniquely dependent on visual detail — and that makes it particularly adaptable to telehealth. With clear photographs or real-time video, many conditions can be accurately diagnosed and managed without requiring an in-person visit.

2. Access Without Delay

Telehealth removes barriers — no commute, no time off work, no waiting rooms. Most patients are seen within 24–48 hours, often sooner.

3. Ongoing Support for Chronic Conditions

For long-term concerns like acne, eczema, or melasma, telehealth makes it easy to follow up, tweak prescriptions, and track progress — without disrupting your routine.

What Can Be Treated Virtually?

A wide range of concerns can be addressed through teledermatology:

Acne
Rashes
Eczema
Psoriasis
Rosacea
Hair thinning or loss
Cold sores and perioral dermatitis
Hyperpigmentation
Prescription questions and medication reactions

If an in-person procedure or full skin exam is needed, we’ll guide you through next steps — but for many patients, a virtual consult is the best starting point.

How to Prepare for a Virtual Visit

Take clear, well-lit photos of the area (natural daylight is best)
Use a quiet space with good Wi-Fi and lighting
Bring a list of current products or medications
Jot down any symptoms or questions beforehand

Bottom Line

Virtual dermatology isn’t a shortcut — it’s a streamlined, effective way to receive thoughtful, expert-led care. Whether you’re managing a flare-up, starting a new treatment, or just need answers fast, telehealth can help you get there — from anywhere.
