The rise of Teledermatology in 2025

Teledermatology is rapidly transforming how dermatologists deliver care. Over the past few years, the emergence of online dermatology companies like Apostrophe, Nurx, Curology, Hims & Hers, and Agency has redefined patient expectations. These platforms offer quick, affordable, and direct access to skin care treatments — often without ever stepping into a clinic.

While these services have successfully captured a large share of patients seeking solutions for acne, anti-aging, hair loss, and more, they’ve also raised some questions about clinical depth, and dermatologist involvement. Traditional dermatology practices have felt the impact — some seeing a drop in patient volume, particularly among younger, tech-savvy demographics.

In response, a new wave of board-certified dermatologists is embracing telehealth platforms built specifically for private dermatology practices. At the forefront of this evolution are leading dermatologists like Dr. Anna Chacon, Dr. Ryan Trowbridge, and Dr. Amit Om, who are using the Miiskin platform to build thriving, flexible, and clinically rigorous virtual dermatology practices.

These dermatologists are not competing with direct-to-consumer brands, they’re offering something better: expert-led, evidence-based teledermatology that combines convenience with medical expertise without locking patients in a subscription model by allowing them to buy their medication on-demand at a pharmacy of their choice.

Besides via the Miiskin platform, they can prescribe Skin Medicinals customized formulas which is exactly what young tech-savvy patients are looking for.

Why Teledermatology works for modern practices

Dermatology is uniquely suited for telehealth. Many skin conditions can be diagnosed and managed using high-resolution images and patient-reported symptoms — without an in-person visit. This is the foundation of teledermatology, and platforms like Miiskin have made it easier than ever.

Dr. Anna Chacon, a board-certified dermatologist licensed in all 50 U.S. states, and owner of Anna Chacon Dermatology, a fully virtual clinic, highlights this advantage:

“I’ve reviewed thousands of patient cases asynchronously through Miiskin, and each one reinforces how powerful this model is. The platform allows me to deliver high-quality dermatologic care regardless of where the patient lives — whether it’s a remote rural town or a busy urban center. I can work across time zones without the constraints of a traditional schedule, and that flexibility is not only beneficial for me as a physician, but also transformative for patients who might otherwise wait weeks or months to be seen. With Miiskin, we’re making expert care accessible, efficient, and genuinely patient-centered.”

The Miiskin Teledermatology platform: A dermatologist’s telehealth ally

What sets Miiskin apart in the teledermatology landscape is its specialized design for dermatologists. Unlike generic telemedicine platforms, Miiskin offers:

• High-resolution photo upload and PDF uploads
• Asynchronous consultation workflows
• Secure patient communication
• Prescribing capability
• HIPAA-compliant
• Legit script Certified
  

Dr. Ryan Trowbridge, owner a fully virtual practice called Bridge Dermatology that offers care to patients in California, Connecticut, Illinois, and Nebraska notes:

“What drew me to Miiskin wasn’t just the technology — it was the way it understands the way dermatologists actually work. Asynchronous teledermatology gives me the flexibility to review cases thoroughly, on my own time. The platform is intuitive, secure, and purpose-built for dermatology, which means I’m not wasting time adapting to a generic system. Miiskin supports real continuity of care — I can monitor patients’ progress over time, respond quickly when needed, and maintain a level of efficiency that just isn’t possible in a traditional in-office setup. It’s a smarter way to practice.”

These features make it ideal for dermatologists looking to grow a digital-first or hybrid practice in 2025.

Growing patient demand for Teledermatology services

The demand for teledermatology has never been higher. Patients expect fast access, digital convenience, and quality care — especially for chronic conditions like acne, eczema, and hair loss. 

Dr. Amit Om, explains: “I’ve found that teledermatology offers an effective way to extend care to patients who have less access. What I appreciate about Miiskin is that it does not try to replace traditional dermatology but enhances it. The platform allows me to treat patients asynchronously across different locations without compromising quality or connection. I can see more patients, provide quicker responses, and follow up more efficiently—all through a secure, dermatology-focused interface. It’s empowering for both physicians and patients.”

Flexibility and work-life balance for dermatologists

One of the biggest advantages of teledermatology is the freedom it provides physicians. Dr. Chacon describes it as “a way to practice medicine on your own terms,” while helping prevent physician burnout:

“Burnout is a growing issue in our specialty — the administrative load, packed clinic schedules, and lack of flexibility can take a real toll. Miiskin offers a solution by letting me practice more efficiently and on my own terms. I can review cases asynchronously, set boundaries around my time, and still deliver exceptional care. That control over my schedule has helped me stay energized and engaged in my work. It’s not just better for me — it’s better for my patients too.”

Teledermatology isn’t just about patient access — it’s about sustainable, flexible practice for doctors too.
