Overview

Dermatology practices provide medical, surgical, and cosmetic skin care, including Mohs surgery and cosmetic injectables. It was one of the earliest and most aggressive physician-specialty roll-ups, prized for its blend of recurring medical visits, cash-pay cosmetic upside, and ancillary pathology.

PE-backed dermatology platforms consolidated thousands of practices, though the model has faced some integration and reimbursement headwinds. Cosmetic demand and aging-related skin care underpin durable demand.
