Published on

Skin blemishes and imperfections are a real problem for those who suffer from them. Dermato-cosmeticians are experts in skin and beauty concerns. As a result, many general dermatologists specialize in dermato-cosmetics or aesthetic dermatology.

Remote consultation with a specialist for dermo-cosmetic needs is now possible! The Tessan.io platform enables you to make an appointment online, so you can quickly respond to skin causes and symptoms. Get your medical appointment with a dermatologist in less than 7 days.

Why teleconsult a dermatologist for aesthetic needs?

Teleconsultation with a skin specialist is an effective response to two problems: health needs and long waiting times. It enables patients to enjoy a medical consultation at a distance, and avoids the need for patients to travel.

Teleconsultation for dermato-cosmetics, for better protection against COVID-19

Remote consultation is preferable in the current context. With the pandemic, remaining confined to a waiting room with potentially ill patients is risky. Now it's possible to make a videoconference appointment with a dermatologist.

This is precisely the solution proposed by Tessan with augmented teleconsultation: enabling patients to consult a specialist doctor without visiting a doctor's surgery.

Remote teleconsultation, a more practical and economical solution

Teleconsulting a dermatologist for aesthetic needs also offers a practical and economic advantage over a physical appointment.

From a distance, specialists are more available and can even take on emergencies. In France, it takes 95 days to obtain a physical consultation with an approved dermatologist.. It's even harder to get an appointment in a practice located in a medical desert. Even major cities are not spared. In Paris, a patient with a skin condition has to wait 61 days for an appointment with a dermatologist. In Lyon, it takes 128 days.

In Tessan, you can have a telemedical examination with a dermatologist in less than 7 days!

Similarly, if you're on a tight schedule, you won't have to wait for hours in the waiting room before being examined.

Not only does this save you time, it also saves you money. With Tessan, you'll save on travel costs: all you have to do is go to the pharmacy equipped with our connected gondola.

Telemedicine for an aesthetic dermatologist: What for?

You can consult dermato-aesthetics remotely for any problem related to the appearance of your skin. Some skin infections can leave unsightly marks. These include acne, rosacea and psoriasis.

His role: detect symptoms to understand the cause and adapt the right treatment. Via videoconference, the dermatologist assesses your skin, hair and nail problems.

In addition to treating skin pathologies, he advises on the most suitable dermo-cosmetic products.

The other majority of teleconsultations involve dermatological follow-up and prescription renewals for both parents and children.

How a dermato-cosmetics teleconsultation works

To consult a dermatologist remotely, first make an appointment. You can do this by going directly to our website tessan.io.

You indicate the specialist you are looking for and your location. The platform will display all the locations where you can have a teleconsultation. All you have to do is choose one and call to arrange the date and time you'd like to come in.

Where do teleconsultations in aesthetic dermatology take place?

Remote consultation takes place at terminals or teleconsultation booths. These have been specifically designed to enable the professional to examine you via videoconference using connected objects.

Tessan.io has set up these telemedicine booths in pharmacies, local authorities, and more. To consult a specialist, simply visit your nearest augmented telemedicine booth.

How does a teleconsultation with a dermatologist work?

Thanks to the many technological advances in the field, teleconsultation is no different from a conventional consultation. The only difference is that the other is done remotely.

Tessan's augmented teleconsultation booths are fully equipped for accurate, face-to-face auscultation. There's a computer with a large screen and a webcam. There are also a number of connected medical devices, such as dermatoscopes, stethoscopes and blood pressure monitors.

At the end of the dermatology-cosmetics appointment

Like a general practitioner, a dermato-cosmetic teleconsultation is reimbursed by Social Security. By presenting your carte vitale, you benefit from the "tiers payant" system. Otherwise, reimbursement will follow your consultation.

At the end of the medical examination, the health care professional will draw up a list of treatments for the disease and its symptoms. To do this, the consultation leads to a prescription with a doctor's prescription.
