Telemedicine concerning skincare has become popular as Dermatologists are encouraging their patients to use virtual consultations as in-person visits are only limited to emergencies. Most of these consultations use FaceTime, Skype, and Zoom.
Virtual visits require dermatologists to assess a patient’s skin, followed by a recommendation for treatment. To prepare for a consultation, patients will need to take pictures of their condition. Pictures should be taken in good lighting and be clear when zoomed in. Before a virtual appointment, ensure skin is clean and free from make-up, making it easier for the dermatologist to understand the condition.
Listing out a few questions that are affecting your condition, for example, lifestyle, stress levels, nutrition, allergies, exercise habits, and skincare products, will provide for a better diagnosis. Dermatologists prefer when patients use their phones for a consultation as phone cameras are clearer than laptops while being easier to maneuver.
Virtual skincare appointments are best for the following conditions.
Routine skin issues – acne, rashes, dryness
Specialized care for skin issues – rosacea, psoriasis, and eczema
Cosmetic consultations – melasma, sunspots, wrinkles, and acne scarring
Virtual skincare appointments can help patients reach a dermatologist in the comfort of their home, without the added hassles, risks, and costs associated with in-person visits. However, dermatologists prefer when virtual appointments are combined with in-person care as some conditions will require a hands-on approach for an accurate diagnosis.
