What Happens After You Submit a Skin Photo to an Online Dermatologist?

You’ve uploaded a photo of your skin concern. So what happens next? Whether you’re unsure, feeling a little nervous, or just want to know how long it takes, here’s what to expect from your online dermatologist consultation.

Step 1: What an Online Dermatologist Does With Your Skin Photo

Right away, your photos and answers go to our AI-powered triage system. That’s a fancy way of saying we use really smart computer technology to: check the type of skin issue you might have, look for anything urgent or serious, and match your case with the right dermatologist. This doesn’t replace a real doctor—but it helps get your case to the right person faster and more accurately.

Here’s the best part: every single case is reviewed by a board-certified dermatologist. That means a real skin expert—not a general doctor or assistant—looks closely at your photos and information.

They use their training and experience to:

1. Make a diagnosis (what’s going on with your skin)
2. Create a treatment plan just for you
3. Answer any questions you included
   

Step 2: Can This Skin Concern Be Treated with Online Dermatology?

Some skin conditions can be treated quickly and safely online. Others might need a closer, in-person look. Our dermatologists know the difference. If your issue can be handled virtually, you’ll get a care plan built just for you. If not, we’ll explain why and help guide you toward the next steps. You’re never left wondering what to do.

Research supports this model. A 2021 study in JAMA Dermatology found that online care works well for common issues like acne and eczema. Still, certain conditions might need an in-office visit to confirm the diagnosis.

Step 3: How Fast Can You Get a Skin Diagnosis Online?

We move fast. In most cases, you’ll receive your diagnosis and treatment plan within 24 to 48 hours. Your plan could include:

• Prescription medications (sent to your pharmacy)
• Over-the-counter suggestions
• Skincare tips and product guidance
• Lifestyle or environment-based advice

Everything is personalized. We make sure you know what to do next and how to start feeling better.
