The brief
Dermatology marketing fails when it treats this specialty like everything else.
01
Dermatology patients search differently
Patients looking for dermatologists search in 3 different ways. We map 36+ of these searches per dermatologist and build pages that answer the real symptoms and decisions, not slogans.
02
7-30 days from symptom search to consultation
The dermatology decision takes 7-30 days from symptom search to consultation. Your marketing has to hold attention the whole way — helpful content in week 1, gentle reminders in weeks 2-4, and clear booking pages at the moment they decide.
03
Trust signals don't carry over
Patients trust dermatologists who teach. We build the trust signals — credentials, board certification, research publications — into every page that ranks or takes bookings.

Deeper briefing
Dermatology is really two different businesses
Medical dermatology (acne, eczema, psoriasis, skin-cancer checks) and cosmetic dermatology (laser, peels, injectables, skincare) are the same specialty on paper but run as different businesses. Patients find them through different channels, book off different content, and are worth different amounts over time. A dermatology programme that uses one playbook for both leaves money on the table.
Medical-dermatology patients mostly come through search and insurance directories. They want quick appointments, in-network coverage, and clear treatment options. Cosmetic-dermatology patients mostly come through social media (Instagram, TikTok), influencer posts, and word of mouth. They book off visual proof, the provider's personality, and membership or package pricing.
What works in dermatology
Local SEO for "dermatologist near me" plus condition searches ("acne dermatologist", "psoriasis specialist") brings in 40-50% of medical patients. Google Business Profile and reviews decide it — dermatology patients read a lot of reviews, often 8-12 per practice, before booking. On the cosmetic side: Instagram reels of treatments, before/after grids, and personality-driven content drive 35-45% of bookings. Membership plans (monthly facials, quarterly laser packages) lift a patient's value from a ₹4,800 one-off visit to ₹38,000+ a year.
The compliance reality
ASCI (India) and the FDA plus state medical boards (US) have tightened the rules on dermatology advertising — especially around acne products, injectables, and laser claims. We have every page cleared by the practice's medical advisor before launch.
Dermatology · FAQ
Things dermatology teams ask us first.
Should we have separate websites for medical and cosmetic dermatology?
Usually no — one well-built site with clearly separated medical and cosmetic sections beats two thin ones. Medical content carries authority that helps the cosmetic side; cosmetic visuals get shared on social and bring in medical patients too.
How important are Instagram and TikTok for a dermatology practice?
Essential for cosmetic dermatology (35-45% of new patients). Helpful but not decisive for medical dermatology (under 15%). The main limit is whether the provider will go on camera — practices where they do win 2-3× more cosmetic patients.
What's the right Google Ads budget for dermatology?
Around ₹85K-220K a month gets real reach in big-city markets. Below ₹50K, paid search does worse than SEO and Google Business Profile work. Above ₹400K, you need careful tuning to keep earning back the spend.
How do we handle the FDA/ASCI restrictions on injectables advertising?
We use compliant wording about what you can do ('our board-certified dermatologist provides FDA-approved cosmetic treatments') without naming specific products in headlines or page descriptions. Specific product names appear only in clearly labelled educational content with the right disclaimers.
Does email and SMS work for dermatology recall?
Yes — dermatology naturally needs follow-ups (yearly skin checks, treatment cycles). Practices with automatic 6- and 12-month reminders get 78% of patients rebooking versus 42% by hand. Texting works 3-5× better than email for appointment reminders.
