SkinHappy MD telemedicine platform for skincare

SkinHappy MD offers mobile and web applications for skin education, as well as subscription based platform for consumers to receive selective disease consultation, supervision and treatments.   With the eCommerce delivery of SkinHappy MD branded Rx and non-Rx skin care products customers are provided convenient, affordable, customized care. 

The skin care market is fiercely competitive, confusing and misleading.  Major customer confusion: which skincare products are BEST for their particular needs?  How can these be gotten conveniently, affordably, and with trusted professional oversight? 150 Million Americans are afflicted with common skin conditions and over half of US consumers use skincare products daily.  As a society, we are rapidly discovering the many deficiencies of our healthcare system, and are no longer tolerant of the inconveniences, ambiguities, and corporate discrepancies that are being unveiled, particularly when it comes to the costs of prescription drugs. 

WHAT MAKES SkinHappy MD DIFFERENT?

Professional Oversight  With online care, you receive an AAD board certified dermatologist with 20 years of experience designing your program.  I am not only a very qualified and experienced dermatologist, but I have a PhD too, and unique skills to create products to fit the needs and desires of my patients.  I have also been at the forefront of offering tele-dermatology services, having served as a doctor in the Army providing digital skincare advice to soldiers around the world. Now I’m virtually here for you too!

Superior Prescription Medication  I often tell my patients that much of the reason I can get them better is that I have a giant “tool chest” at my fingertips.  Unlike other online platforms, which give you over-the-counter or limited low level prescription ingredients, I customize sophisticated prescription regimens that are targeted to your needs and cost a fraction of what it would cost through insurance or typical pharmacy. I have proudly partnered with a registered 503b drug outsourcing facility, that prepares custom medications within a strict quality controlled environment to guarantee quality, potency, and purity.

Now that’s QUALITY you can’t get anywhere else!

Information and Ongoing Education  We live in an information age, and desire to know what we are getting and why.  It has always been my belief:  if a patient knows the basics about their condition and the medications I have chosen for them, they get healthier better and faster.  At SkinHappy MD, we provide ALL of our patient’s basic information, and provide ample access to additional nuggets of information you may choose to access anytime.  There’s nothing like an informed consumer!

Service and Partnership. We not only provide you online access for your prescription medications, and deliver these to your doorstep, but we follow your progress, with very specific follow up time points and expectations. We also care about you as a person- and help you manage the mental as well as physical aspects of our skin conditions.   This kind of service cannot be found anywhere else!  In person OR online!

Accountability  When you jump onboard with SkinHappy MD, you enter into an actual medical encounter.  You are provided with medical records that are kept and maintained over time.  We take extraordinary measures to ensure the privacy of your health information.  Not only do our doctors access the records, but you can too, though a secure portal accessible only to you.  Private information is PRIVATE, and we provide you the mechanism to keep it this way. 

Now THAT’S trusted medical care.  That’s SkinHappy MD.”

* Should you be deemed to not be eligible for our online services (some conditions are too severe or need testing done in person), we will direct you to a board certified dermatologist for you to see in person. We will be honest with our patients regarding our abilities to get them better. 

We are seeking funding for the creation of our application platform, which will initially be designed to target acne.  We all know and care about the social anxiety created by uncontrolled skin conditions.  Starting with acne is so important to us because of the devastating toll that acne can have on not just on the physical body but on the emotional side as well.

Our team includes: Dr. Julie Kenner, MD PhD, CEO, founder, and medical/scientific director; Susan Bancroft, web and technology lead; Wendy Brickman, marketing lead.

Thank you to all the many supportive patients and friends alike who have encouraged us to reach a wider audience with our services and effective treatments!  We are so grateful for your contributions one and all and look forward to serving your skincare needs!
