Virtual consultations for a number of professions have become the preference for many since 2020. Virtual estheticians can provide convenience to clients and can allow you to reach new clients who may be too far away to come in person. Learn about the importance of capitalizing on online skin analysis and virtual skincare consultations and watch your business grow this year!
Acquire Virtual Skin Care Clientele
People will always need skin care guidance and are more than willing to receive that guidance outside the treatment room. When it comes to acne treatment specifically, acne sufferers need superior coaching, and that can be done successfully over the phone or on video calls. To acquire new esthetics clients virtually, make sure you develop a strong presence online:
- Post regularly on social media, like Facebook and Instagram
- Email past clients with an encouraging message letting them know you are offering virtual skincare consultation services
- For websites, make sure your headline includes a strong call-to-action message
- Partner with other local businesses like a hair salon to create a referral program
Transitioning Current Clients to Virtual
Clients dealing with conditions like acne or hyperpigmentation rely heavily on home care and expert advice from their professional. Having different options for clients helps transition them from in-person to virtual, whether it’s a quick check-in call, full virtual skincare consultation, or scheduled email exchanges. You'll want to communicate these changes whenever and wherever possible with current and past clients by posting social media updates or sending emails or text blasts reminding your clients that your expertise is just an email or call away.
Achieving Clear Skin Through Online Skin Analysis

The key to clear skin is consistent use of an appropriate home skincare routine. Treatments act as a boost to home care and can expedite change in pigmentation and texture, but the real results are obtained by diligent home care. It’s important to reinforce this message with current clients who have transitioned to virtual. With new virtual clients, conducting a thorough virtual skincare consultation, reviewing photos, and seeing your client’s skin on video will help you determine home skincare. Having all your virtual skincare consultation forms and handouts available online will help streamline this process. Our adaptive approach requires biweekly adjustments to home care (as needed) to continue skin improvement.

Virtual Skincare Consultation Benefits
Virtual skincare appointments are an excellent way to keep clients on track during the holiday season; people are always looking for convenience, especially during a busy time of year. You can also create a virtual bootcamp or other promotional offer for products and virtual skincare consultation services as a clear-skin gifting opportunity. Virtual skincare appointments are also useful for those esthetics clients who can’t always get into the treatment room or for students away at school.
