Dermatology has yet to conquer the cosmetic corner of the specialty. That’s according to Dr. Leslie S. Baumann of the Miami-based Skin Type Solutions, who explains a new franchise model she says will help “put dermatology back in the hands of dermatologists.”
In this interview, Dr. Baumann, who writes the Cosmeceutical Critique column for Skin & Allergy News, explains her new franchise method for selling skin care products in the dermatologist’s office, and why she thinks it will “disrupt” business as usual in the retail skin care marketplace, including for online retailers.
Dr. Baumann is chief executive officer of the Baumann Cosmetic & Research Institute in the Design District in Miami. She founded the cosmetic dermatology center at the University of Miami in 1997. Dr. Baumann wrote the textbook “Cosmetic Dermatology: Principles and Practice” (McGraw-Hill, April 2002), and a book for consumers, “The Skin Type Solution” (Bantam, 2006). She has contributed to the Cosmeceutical Critique column in Skin & Allergy News since January 2001. Her latest book, “Cosmeceuticals and Cosmetic Ingredients,” will be published in November 2014. Dr. Baumann has received funding for clinical grants from Allergan, Aveeno, Avon Products, Evolus, Galderma, GlaxoSmithKline, Kythera, Mary Kay, Medicis Pharmaceuticals, Neutrogena, Philosophy,Topix Pharmaceuticals, and Unilever.
