Launch a Dermatology, Skin & Hair Health Telehealth Service Line
Store-and-forward or live-video teledermatology with photo-based intake, built for short visits and repeat treatment plans.
A photo-driven category with short visit times
Teledermatology covers acne, androgenetic alopecia, rosacea, eczema, and cosmetic and anti-aging skin concerns. Visits can run as store-and-forward reviews or live video, and photo-based intake keeps visit times short.
Because treatment plans are typically reordered over time, dermatology sits well alongside weight loss and men's and women's health. TelePartners Studio provides the funnel, photo intake, provider network access, and pharmacy fulfillment behind it. New to the model? See how TelePartners Studio works or read about us.
What your dermatology service line can cover
Acne treatment plans
Topical and oral regimens for acne, reviewed and prescribed by licensed clinicians.
Hair loss
Treatment pathways for androgenetic alopecia, including female-pattern hair loss.
Rosacea
Ongoing management plans for rosacea through photo-based follow-up.
Eczema
Care plans for eczema, including topical therapies.
Anti-aging & cosmetic concerns
Prescription-strength topical regimens for cosmetic and anti-aging skin concerns.
Photo-based intake
Store-and-forward photo intake that lets clinicians review cases efficiently.
How the service line runs through the TelePartners Studio model
Patient Acquisition
Social content and Meta ads for skin and hair concerns, reviewed against advertising rules.
Landing Page
A landing page for the specific concern, such as acne or hair loss.
Photo Intake & Checkout
Patients complete intake, upload photos, and pay in one flow.
Provider Review (Photo or Video)
A licensed clinician reviews the case through store-and-forward photos or a live video visit.
Prescription When Appropriate
The clinician decides independently whether a topical or oral regimen is appropriate.
Pharmacy Fulfillment
A network pharmacy ships the regimen directly to the patient, with refills for ongoing plans.
Most standard topical acne and minoxidil regimens typically require no labs. Isotretinoin follows a separate hybrid pathway.
The components behind this service line
Medications and labs below are illustrative, drawn from the TelePartners Studio Service Line Reference Guide. Each partner's independent medical director finalizes the formulary, lab panels, and visit protocols.
Medication classes
Topical retinoids, topical and oral acne antibiotics, spironolactone (off-label), finasteride, minoxidil, azelaic acid, benzoyl peroxide, hydroquinone, and topical corticosteroids.
Labs when indicated
Basic metabolic panel and potassium before and during spironolactone, especially alongside other potassium-sparing agents.
Isotretinoin pathway
Requires iPLEDGE REMS enrollment, baseline and repeat liver and lipid labs, and monthly pregnancy testing where applicable.
Local touchpoints
Fungal culture or KOH prep for suspected fungal conditions is best obtained locally or in person.
Photo review workflow
Store-and-forward photo review for initial visits and follow-ups.
Pharmacy fulfillment
Network pharmacies ship regimens directly to the patient.
What to plan for before this service line goes live
iPLEDGE REMS
Isotretinoin cannot run as a pure telehealth product under current REMS rules. Plan a hybrid model with a local lab and pharmacy touchpoint.
Pregnancy testing
Monthly pregnancy testing applies to isotretinoin and topical retinoid users who can become pregnant, per iPLEDGE.
Off-label prescribing
Some regimens, such as spironolactone and low-dose oral minoxidil, are off-label and remain the treating clinician's independent decision.
Marketing claims
Before-and-after style content and prescription product claims should be reviewed for FTC/FDA and state advertising compliance.
Corporate practice of medicine
Partners should operate through a compliant physician-owned professional entity or MSO structure, with TelePartners Studio's technology and marketing role kept separate from clinical decision-making.
Final state-specific requirements, formularies, protocols, and coverage should be reviewed by the appropriate medical and legal professionals before launch. TelePartners Studio provides technology, marketing, and operational support. It does not practice medicine or provide legal advice, and every prescribing decision is made independently by the treating licensed clinician.
