How much does Skin Clarity cost? Do you accept insurance?

Skin Clarity does not bill visits through insurance. Initial visits are $200, and follow-up visits are $150. 

If you have insurance, you will be able to use it for your prescriptions at the pharmacy. 

What can (and can't) you treat? Who can you treat?

Due to the virtual nature of Skin Clarity, I will only be treating skin concerns on the face such as acne, rosacea, discoloration, and/or aging concerns. 

I cannot properly evaluate a lesion for skin cancer through a computer screen. This must be done in-person with a dermatology provider. 

I am only licensed to practice medicine in the state of Texas; therefore my virtual patients must reside in Texas.

What types of prescriptions can you write? 

I can write any prescription you would normally receive at a dermatology office. Examples include: Retin-A (tretinoin), spironolactone, doxycycline, hydroquinone, tranexamic acid, compounded creams, and numerous topical acne and rosacea medications. 

At this time I will not be writing Accutane (isotretinoin) through this platform because of the iPledge and laboratory regulations. If you are interested in this treatment, I can treat you at Knox Dermatology or refer you to your local dermatologist.

What type of non-prescription products do you recommend? 

All kinds! Part of my pre-visit questionnaire asks where you prefer to shop and what your skincare budget looks like. Utilizing that information, along with my assessment of your skin, I'll tell you the best options. I aim to focus on science-backed ingredients and products. There are excellent high-end skincare products, but you may need help determining which ones are “worth the splurge.” I also realize $100+ skincare products are not practical for everyone's budget. Luckily there are also great drugstore skincare choices! It's absolutely okay to mix skincare brands, price points, over-the-counter products, and prescription creams into one regimen if you know what you're doing (or if you're working with someone who knows what they're doing)!

What is a Physician Assistant? Who is the Supervising Physician?

PAs (Physician Assistants) are licensed clinicians who are thoroughly trained to practice medicine in collaboration with a physician. PAs can diagnose, treat, and prescribe medications. They have a graduate-level education and maintain annual continuing education, state licensure, and their national certification. ​

The supervising physician for Skin Clarity is Dr. George Wooming. Leigh and Dr. Wooming also work closely together at Knox Dermatology.
