About dermatology telehealth
What is dermatology telehealth?
Telehealth in dermatology, also known as teledermatology, allows patients to connect with dermatologists remotely using technology, typically a HIPAA-compliant platform for the diagnosis and treatment of skin diseases. This approach saves patients time and money as these services are usually more affordable than in-person dermatology consultations. Besides, in some states the waiting time to see a dermatologist in person can take up to 30 days, while with asynchronous telehealth consultations, patients only need to wait 1-2 days to get a response from the dermatologist.
How do dermatology telehealth consultations work?
Dermatology telehealth consultations allow you to get expert skin care without visiting a clinic. You start by submitting clear photos of your skin concern along with a short medical questionnaire through a secure platform or app. A dermatology provider reviews your case, provides a diagnosis, and recommends a personalized treatment plan. If needed, prescriptions can be sent directly to your chosen pharmacy. Most consultations are completed within 1–2 business days, making it a fast, convenient, and effective way to manage skin issues from home.

Is dermatology telehealth reliable for the diagnosis and treatment of skin conditions?

Are dermatology telehealth consultations cheaper than in-person visits?
Yes, dermatology telehealth consultations are typically cheaper than in-person visits. Telehealth eliminates costs related to clinic overhead, travel, and time off work—making it a more affordable and convenient option for many patients. While in-person dermatology visits can range from $100 to $250 or more (especially without insurance), telehealth consultations often cost significantly less.
For example, with services like Miiskin, a new dermatology consultation costs just $69, and a medication renewal is $39—much lower than traditional in-office pricing.
Are all dermatology telehealth visits conducted by board-certified dermatologists?
Not all dermatology telehealth visits are conducted by board-certified dermatologists—this depends on the provider.
Some telehealth platforms (like Miiskin) ensure that consultations are always handled by board-certified dermatologists, meaning doctors who have completed specialized training and passed rigorous exams in dermatology.
However, other services may use a mix of providers, including nurse practitioners (NPs), physician assistants (PAs), or general practitioners with dermatology experience, especially for more routine cases.
If seeing a board-certified dermatologist is important to you, it’s a good idea to check the provider’s qualifications on the platform before booking.
