Telehealth + aesthetics: what's actually possible over a screen
Most aesthetic procedures are hands-on, but telehealth still has a place — for screening, follow-up, and the patient-side workups that don't need a clinic visit.

Telehealth doesn't replace the procedure itself, but it can replace many of the visits surrounding it. Here's what works well over video.
Pre-treatment screening
A board-certified clinician can review your medical history, medications, and goals on a 20-minute video call. They can flag contraindications (some peptides interact poorly with common medications) before you book the in-person visit.
Post-procedure check-ins
Bruising, swelling, or unexpected pigmentation is best assessed early. A photo and a 5-minute call beats waiting two weeks for a slot.
Prescription management
Refills, dose adjustments, and lab review for hormone or weight-management programs all happen comfortably over video.
Where in-person is still required
Anything involving an injection, laser, or device. A clinician can't safely treat your face from across town.
If you're shopping for a med spa that supports the telehealth path, MedSpot listings call out which providers accept video visits.
