How a Virtual Dermatology Consult Works
1. Easy Setup: Use a laptop with a camera or your smartphone.
2. Intake & Photos: Complete a detailed intake form and email clear, well-lit photos of the affected skin at least 24 hours before your appointment. This ensures I can thoroughly review your case in advance.
3. Initial 60 Minute Video Visit/ Follow Up 30 Minute Video Visit: We’ll discuss your skin history, review the photos, and go over your current symptoms.
4. Personalized Herbal Formula: After the consult, I prepare a custom herbal prescription and ship it directly to you via USPS Priority Mail (same or next day).
5. Ongoing Care: Follow-up visits are usually within 2 to 3 weeks.
