The problem with traditional teledermatology

Online dermatology is here to stay, but not all platforms are created equal. Most direct-to-consumer services—like Curology, Hims & Hers, and Nurx—employ a mix of dermatologists, physician assistants (PAs), and nurse practitioners (NPs) to deliver care under their brand. Providers often work within rigid corporate processes, with little autonomy over treatment decisions, follow-up care, or patient relationships.

How Miiskin is different

Miiskin flips the model. Instead of hiring providers, we empower independent, board-certified dermatologists to run their own virtual-first practices with complete clinical freedom. Physicians set their own consultation fees, control treatment plans, prescribe without restrictions, and maintain direct, ongoing relationships with their patients. It’s teledermatology designed for specialists—not a generic telehealth template.

Key features at a glance

• Dermatologist-only care – No PAs or NPs, every patient consults a board-certified dermatologist.
• Patient choice – Patients choose their dermatologist and keep them for all future visits.
• Asynchronous flexibility – Review cases and respond when it works for you.
• High-resolution imaging – Capture and assess skin conditions with clarity.
• HIPAA-compliant and LegitScript-certified – Secure messaging, PDF and lab uploads, and e-prescribing.
• No forced medication subscriptions – Patients choose the pharmacy and the price.

Why Miiskin works for online dermatologists

Miiskin isn’t just another telehealth tool — it’s a purpose-built teledermatology platform designed with and for dermatologists. The platform supports asynchronous consultations, high-resolution image uploads, secure messaging, PDF uploads, and seamless prescribing — all within a HIPAA-compliant and LegitScript-certified environment, making it an ideal solution for modern telehealth dermatologists.

Dr. Anna Chacon, who operates MiamiDerm: Anna Chacon MD PA, a fully virtual practice licensed across all 50 U.S. states, shares:

“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.”

Miiskin also supports the prescription of compounded formulations to an online pharmacy  that ships nationwide, giving physicians even more control over patient treatment — without burdening patients with the constraint of high medication markups or locked-in subscriptions.

Miiskin: A digital ally for telehealth dermatologists

Miiskin stands out for its commitment to support independent dermatologists, not replacing them. It enhances, rather than disrupts, the traditional practice model by giving physicians — including today’s telehealth dermatologists – modern tools to meet rising patient demand while maintaining full clinical oversight.

Dr. Ryan Trowbridge, founder of Bridge Dermatology, explains:

“What drew me to Miiskin wasn’t just the technology — it was the way it prioritizes the dermatologist as the centerpiece of the platform.  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 a generic system to my dermatology workflows. 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, and for patients to access dermatology expertise.

When a patient submits a care request via Miiskin, I can review all the information they have provided together with their photos, and if I need more information, I can ask additional questions via the messaging functionality. I can also ask patients to upload lab work or send more photos. 

Additionally, the patient is given the choice of what dermatologist they want to work with, so they become a patient of my practice which allows me to provide continuity of care. When they make a new care request it is directly to me, not a random provider.  I can see the patient’s prior encounter history with me, the medications I have prescribed, their lab work (if any), and photos showing their improvement.” 

 Dr. Sarita Nori, founder of Nori Dermatology Solutions adds:

“I joined the Miiskin network fairly recently  (July 2025) and I have been quite impressed with the technology and the usability of the platform. From the moment I began, everything ran smoothly and efficiently. The user interface is intuitive, the processes are streamlined, and the overall experience feels thoughtfully designed. It’s clear that a lot of attention has been given to optimizing both functionality and ease of use. Furthermore, the seamless integration with Photon e-prescriptions is significantly better than what I’ve encountered on other platforms.  I’m genuinely impressed and excited to continue using this innovative platform in my practice and to provide my new and existing patients the high-quality care they deserve.”

Miiskin meets the demands of patients and dermatologists

Patients today expect digital convenience, fast response times and expert care at an affordable price for dermatology concerns such as acne, anti-aging, melasma, eczema, and hair loss. With Miiskin, dermatologists can deliver on all fronts.

Dr. Amit Om, puts it simply:

“ What I like the most about working with Miiskin is that unlike other telehealth providers, we are not employed by the company, we remain independent. This means we can each have our own process, set our own consultation fees and deliver care the way we want. We do not have to comply with a set of established corporate procedures, we develop a process that suits us. 

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.”

Better care, better work-life balance

One of the biggest advantages of teledermatology is the freedom it provides physicians. With flexible, asynchronous workflows, telehealth dermatologists can regain control of their schedules and reduce burnout. Dr. Chacon describes it as “a way to practice medicine on your own terms,” while helping prevent dermatologists’ 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.
