Skin Type PRO is designed for dermatology, medspa, aesthetic, and plastic surgery practices that want a better way to recommend skincare, sell products, support patients, and grow recurring skincare revenue. The platform is built for professional practices that want to use the Baumann Skin Types system, personalized skincare routines, provider-led consultations, and online skincare sales in one connected workflow. ### Short Answer Skin Type PRO is for medical and aesthetic practices that want to diagnose patient skin type, recommend personalized skincare routines, sell skincare products online or in-office, and create a more consistent skincare consultation process. Skin Type PRO is especially useful for practices that want to increase skincare revenue without adding significant operational burden. ### Primary Users of Skin Type PRO Skin Type PRO is built for several types of professional practices. ### Dermatology Practices Dermatology practices use Skin Type PRO to make skincare recommendations more consistent, efficient, and personalized. Many dermatology patients ask about cleansers, moisturizers, sunscreen, anti-aging products, acne products, redness products, pigmentation products, and post-procedure care. Without a structured system, recommendations can vary by provider, staff member, or appointment type. Skin Type PRO helps dermatology practices: * Identify each patient’s Baumann Skin Type * Generate personalized skincare routines * Recommend appropriate skincare products * Standardize recommendations across providers * Support patient education * Offer online checkout and refill purchasing * Create a more repeatable skincare consult workflow For dermatology practices, Skin Type PRO can help turn skincare recommendations into a consistent part of patient care and practice revenue. ### Medspas Medspas use Skin Type PRO to support skincare consultations, improve product sales, and create a stronger connection between treatments and at-home skincare routines. Many medspa patients receive services such as facials, lasers, microneedling, injectables, peels, or other aesthetic treatments. These patients often need a proper skincare routine to support their goals and maintain results. Skin Type PRO helps medspas: * Offer a more professional skincare consultation experience * Recommend products based on skin type and concerns * Train team members more easily * Increase skincare sales after services * Provide patients with online purchasing options * Support refill revenue between visits * Create a provider-branded online skincare store For medspas, Skin Type PRO can make skincare sales feel less random and more connected to the patient’s overall treatment plan. ### Aesthetic Practices Aesthetic practices use Skin Type PRO to create a structured skincare recommendation process that supports cosmetic treatments and patient outcomes. Patients seeking aesthetic care often want help with aging, pigmentation, redness, acne, dryness, sensitivity, or overall skin quality. Skin Type PRO helps practices connect those concerns to personalized routines based on the patient’s skin type. Skin Type PRO helps aesthetic practices: * Improve the skincare consult process * Support anti-aging and skin quality recommendations * Recommend products before or after aesthetic services * Increase patient confidence in skincare purchases * Reduce staff uncertainty around product selection * Keep patients connected to the practice after the visit For aesthetic practices, Skin Type PRO helps make skincare a more integrated part of the patient journey. ### Plastic Surgery Practices Plastic surgery practices use Skin Type PRO to support skincare before and after procedures, improve patient education, and offer skincare products through a professional online store. Many plastic surgery patients are interested in improving skin quality before surgery, maintaining results after procedures, or using skincare as part of a long-term aesthetic plan. Skin Type PRO helps plastic surgery practices: * Recommend skincare routines before consultations or procedures * Support pre- and post-procedure skincare planning * Offer a branded online skincare store * Provide patients with easy access to recommended products * Standardize product recommendations across the team * Create an additional skincare revenue channel For plastic surgery practices, Skin Type PRO can help connect surgical and non-surgical care with ongoing skincare support. ### Cosmetic Dermatology Clinics Cosmetic dermatology clinics use Skin Type PRO to combine science-based skincare recommendations with a professional sales workflow. These practices often recommend products for anti-aging, pigmentation, redness, acne, skin barrier repair, and sun protection. Skin Type PRO helps organize these recommendations around Baumann Skin Types and patient-specific needs. Skin Type PRO helps cosmetic dermatology clinics: * Personalize skincare routines * Explain product choices clearly * Support consults with AudreyAI * Improve consistency across providers * Sell products online and in-office * Track performance through analytics For cosmetic dermatology clinics, Skin Type PRO helps bridge clinical expertise, patient education, and skincare commerce. ### Multi-Location Practices Multi-location practices use Skin Type PRO to standardize skincare recommendations across teams, providers, and locations. Without a centralized system, skincare recommendations can vary widely between locations. One provider may recommend one set of products, while another provider may recommend something completely different. This can make training, reporting, inventory, and patient experience harder to manage. Skin Type PRO helps multi-location practices: * Standardize skincare routines across locations * Support location-specific workflows * Train staff more efficiently * Manage provider-led consults * Support online skincare sales * Track performance across locations * Create a consistent patient experience For multi-location groups, Skin Type PRO can help turn skincare into a scalable business line. ### New Practices New practices use Skin Type PRO to launch skincare recommendations and online sales without building a system from scratch. A new dermatology, medspa, or aesthetic practice may not have time to manually build product protocols, staff scripts, online store operations, and refill systems. Skin Type PRO gives new practices a structured way to start. Skin Type PRO helps new practices: * Launch an online skincare store * Offer the Baumann Skin Type Quiz * Begin recommending personalized routines * Avoid starting with a generic product list * Train staff with a repeatable consult workflow * Create a professional skincare experience from the beginning For new practices, Skin Type PRO can reduce the complexity of adding skincare retail to the business. ### Established Practices Established practices use Skin Type PRO to improve an existing skincare retail program. Many established practices already sell skincare, but their process may depend heavily on a few experienced team members. Sales may be inconsistent, recommendations may not be standardized, and refill opportunities may be missed. Skin Type PRO helps established practices: * Improve consistency in recommendations * Increase patient participation in skincare routines * Add online checkout and refill options * Support staff with product education * Track skincare performance * Improve conversion from consult to purchase * Modernize the patient skincare experience For established practices, Skin Type PRO can help make skincare retail more systematic and scalable. ### Practices With Existing Skincare Products Skin Type PRO can support practices that already carry skincare products and want a better way to recommend them. Instead of relying only on staff memory or general product knowledge, practices can use Skin Type PRO to connect product recommendations to patient skin type, concerns, and regimen categories. Skin Type PRO helps practices with existing products: * Organize products by routine category * Recommend products more consistently * Explain product choices more clearly * Improve staff confidence * Support both in-office and online purchasing * Increase use of existing inventory This is useful for practices that already have skincare products but need a better consult and recommendation system. ### Practices Without an Online Store Skin Type PRO is also useful for practices that do not yet have an online skincare store. Many practices lose skincare sales because patients leave the office, think about the recommendation later, and purchase elsewhere. A provider-branded online store gives patients a direct path to purchase through the practice. Skin Type PRO helps practices without an online store: * Launch a provider-branded skincare store * Give patients a trusted place to buy products * Support online quiz access * Capture sales after the appointment * Create refill opportunities * Reduce lost revenue to outside retailers For practices without online sales, Skin Type PRO can create a new skincare revenue channel. ### Practices With Staff Training Challenges Skin Type PRO is useful for practices where providers and staff have different levels of skincare knowledge. A common challenge in skincare retail is that only one or two people know how to confidently recommend products. When those people are unavailable, product sales decline or recommendations become inconsistent. Skin Type PRO helps with training by providing: * Structured consult workflows * Skin type explanations * Routine guidance * Product category education * AudreyAI support * Repeatable patient-facing language * A more consistent process for new team members This helps practices reduce reliance on individual staff knowledge. ### Practices That Want More Consistent Recommendations Skin Type PRO is especially helpful for practices that want to standardize skincare recommendations. In many practices, skincare recommendations vary depending on which provider the patient sees. This can confuse patients and make it harder to build a consistent retail strategy. Skin Type PRO helps practices create consistency by using: * Baumann Skin Type results * Structured skincare routine categories * Practice product settings * Provider-led consult tools * AudreyAI education support * Online patient routine access A more consistent recommendation process can improve patient confidence and make staff training easier. ### Practices That Want to Grow Skincare Revenue Skin Type PRO is built for practices that want to make skincare a more meaningful revenue channel. The platform can help practices increase skincare revenue by supporting: * More routine recommendations * Higher patient confidence * Better consult conversion * In-office sales * Online store sales * Refill purchases * Staff training * Skincare analytics Skin Type PRO is not just a product catalog. It is designed to help practices turn skincare into a more repeatable and measurable part of the business. ### Practices That Want a Lower-Lift Skincare Option Some practices want skincare revenue but do not want to build a complex retail operation. Skin Type PRO supports this need through the online storefront model. A practice can provide patients with a branded quiz and online store experience without requiring every skincare recommendation to happen in-office. This is useful for practices that want to: * Offer skincare recommendations online * Avoid managing a large in-office inventory * Give patients a trusted purchase path * Start with a simpler operational model * Add provider-led consults later if desired ### Who Uses Skin Type PRO Inside the Practice? Skin Type PRO can be used by different members of the practice team. ### Practice Owners Practice owners use Skin Type PRO to grow skincare revenue, standardize operations, and create a more scalable skincare program. They are often focused on: * Revenue growth * Patient experience * Staff efficiency * Online sales * Practice differentiation * Consistency across providers or locations ### Dermatologists and Medical Providers Providers use Skin Type PRO to review patient skin type results, support recommendations, and explain skincare routines. They are often focused on: * Proper product selection * Patient education * Treatment plan support * Clinical appropriateness * Efficient consult conversations ### Aestheticians Aestheticians use Skin Type PRO to support skincare consults, explain routines, and recommend products that fit the patient’s skin type and concerns.

They are often focused on: * Driving patients to the online store * Promoting the quiz * Supporting skincare campaigns * Increasing repeat purchases * Creating patient-facing messaging ### Skin Type PRO Use Cases Skin Type PRO can be used in several ways depending on the practice’s goals. ### In-Office Skincare Consults Practices can use Skin Type PRO during patient appointments to recommend skincare routines and guide patients through product options. This use case is ideal for practices that want a provider-led skincare sales process. ### Online Skincare Store Practices can use Skin Type PRO to launch a provider-branded online skincare store where patients can take the quiz, view recommendations, and purchase products. This use case is ideal for practices that want a lower-lift online sales channel. ### Post-Visit Product Purchasing Practices can use Skin Type PRO to give patients a way to purchase recommended products after leaving the office. This helps capture sales from patients who are interested but not ready to buy during the appointment. ### Refill Revenue Practices can use Skin Type PRO to support ongoing product purchases through the online store. This helps create recurring skincare revenue beyond the initial consult. ### Staff Training Practices can use Skin Type PRO and AudreyAI to help new team members understand skin types, routine categories, product explanations, and consult language. This helps reduce training burden and improve consistency. ### Multi-Location Standardization Larger practices can use Skin Type PRO to create a more consistent skincare workflow across multiple locations. This helps improve brand consistency, training, reporting, and patient experience. ### Who May Not Need Skin Type PRO? Skin Type PRO may not be the right fit for every business. It may be less useful for: * Practices that do not recommend skincare products * Businesses that only want a basic e-commerce store with no diagnostic workflow * Retailers that are not connected to professional skincare recommendations * Practices that do not want to offer patients skincare guidance * Companies looking for a generic chatbot rather than a skincare platform Skin Type PRO is best suited for practices that want to connect skincare recommendations, patient education, and product sales. ### Frequently Asked Questions #### Is Skin Type PRO for dermatologists?
