Patient Intake for Dermatology

Skin health history and cosmetic consultation forms

Dermatology practices span the full spectrum from medical skin disease management to cosmetic procedures and surgical excisions. Formisoft offers tailored intake forms that address this breadth, collecting detailed skin health history, sun exposure habits, previous skin cancer screenings, current skincare regimens, and cosmetic treatment goals — all digitally before the patient's appointment.

For medical dermatology, intake forms capture a thorough history of skin conditions including eczema, psoriasis, acne, rosacea, and melanoma risk factors. Patients can upload photos of concerning lesions or skin changes before their visit, giving dermatologists a preview that helps prioritize clinical assessment. Family history of skin cancer and melanoma is captured with specific detail about types and ages of diagnosis. Medication history includes topical treatments, biologics, and previous phototherapy.

Cosmetic dermatology practices benefit from consultation forms that document aesthetic goals, previous cosmetic procedures, filler and Botox history, and informed consent for elective treatments. Formisoft's consent forms cover common procedures like chemical peels, laser treatments, injectable fillers, and microneedling with detailed risk disclosures. Before-and-after photo consent and financial agreements for cosmetic services can be included in the intake workflow, creating a seamless patient experience from consultation to treatment.
