How Dermatology Practices Use the Animations
Dermatology practices use Understand.com animations in several ways.
On Condition Pages
Animations can be embedded directly into a dermatology practice website to help patients understand skin conditions while researching symptoms, diagnoses, and treatment options.
For example, an acne page can include an animation that explains how acne develops. A psoriasis page can help patients understand what is happening in the skin. A skin cancer page can provide visual education about abnormal skin growth and the importance of evaluation by a qualified medical professional.
On Treatment Pages
Dermatology treatments are often easier to understand visually than through text alone. Animations can help explain procedures such as Mohs surgery, Botox, dermal fillers, laser resurfacing, laser hair removal, microneedling, sclerotherapy, chemical peels, and CoolSculpting.
Adding animations to treatment pages can make those pages more useful for patients who want to understand what a treatment is, why it is performed, and what general concept the procedure is based on.
During Consultations
Dermatologists, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, aestheticians, and staff can use the animations during in-office or virtual consultations to explain skin anatomy, skin conditions, treatment options, and procedure concepts more efficiently.
Patients often have a better conversation with their provider when they already understand the basics of the condition or treatment being discussed.
For Patient Education
The animations can be used as part of a broader patient education experience before, during, and after consultation. They help patients understand skin health, common dermatology conditions, cosmetic treatments, preventive care, and the importance of professional evaluation.
Why Dermatology Practices Use Patient Education Animations
Dermatology patients often search online before they schedule an appointment. They may search for symptoms, compare cosmetic treatments, research skin cancer concerns, or try to understand the difference between similar procedures.
Understand.com animations help practices provide clear, medically accurate explanations instead of leaving patients to rely only on generic search results, social media clips, or inconsistent third-party videos.
The library can help practices:
- Improve patient understanding before consultations
- Save time during appointments
- Reduce repetitive explanations from providers and staff
- Help patients ask better questions
- Make condition and treatment pages more useful
- Improve the patient education experience on a practice website
- Provide visual explanations for both medical and cosmetic dermatology topics
- Differentiate the practice from websites that rely only on text
- Support more informed conversations about skin health, prevention, and treatment options

Difference Between the Dermatology Animation Library and Custom Animation
The Dermatology Animation Library is a ready-made collection of patient education animations covering common dermatology conditions, skin treatments, cosmetic procedures, and skin health topics.
Custom animation is different. Custom animation is created specifically for a company, physician, medical device, pharmaceutical product, dermatology treatment, skincare brand, surgical technique, or unique marketing objective.
A practice might choose the Dermatology Animation Library when it wants a ready-to-use set of patient education videos for common dermatology topics. A company or practice might choose custom animation when it needs a new animation made for a specific product, treatment, device, mechanism of action, or brand story.
