How the System Works: A Three-Step Process to Personalized Skin Care
Our software automates a proven three-step process that identifies a patient’s unique skin type and provides them with a scientifically designed skin care regimen using carefully selected products.
Step 1: The Skin Type Quiz
The cornerstone of our system is the proprietary Skin Type Quiz, originally developed in 2004 at the University of Miami School of Medicine.
Since its inception, the quiz has undergone extensive validation and refinement based on the latest dermatological research.
It has been used in studies by dermatologists, pharmaceutical companies, and cosmetic brands globally.
The quiz accurately assigns patients to one of 16 Baumann Skin Type categories based on their skin’s unique characteristics.
Each patient’s skin profile is determined by evaluating a variety of factors:
Type of sensitive skin (e.g., acne-prone, rosacea, stinging, allergic)
Specific eye area concerns for targeted eye serum and cream recommendations
Preferences regarding sunscreen (chemical vs. mineral, tinted vs. untinted)
Gender and age, to account for different hormonal influences and anti-aging needs
Lifestyle factors, including sun exposure, diet, stress levels, and sleep habits
Existing skin conditions, such as eczema or psoriasis
By gathering detailed information, the quiz goes far beyond a surface-level analysis.
It provides a comprehensive understanding of the patient’s skin health, allowing for more precise and effective product recommendations.
And remember: your sales are directly proportional to the number of patients who take the quiz.
This diagnostic tool isn’t just a way to help your patients—it’s also a powerful driver of product engagement and loyalty.
Step 2: Product Selection and Regimen Design
Once a patient’s skin type is diagnosed, the system allows you to select from a curated list of products across many trusted skin care brands.
Not sure which products to choose? Our team is available to help you make informed decisions that align with your practice goals and patient demographics.
The products you choose become the building blocks of the patient’s regimen. The system’s smart logic ensures that each product:
Aligns precisely with the diagnosed Baumann Skin Type
Meets rigorous inclusion/exclusion criteria for each regimen step
Works synergistically with other products in the routine
There are over 40,000 unique regimen templates available in our regimen management system.
This massive library allows for highly personalized combinations tailored to specific skin needs and preferences.
Our product selection algorithm ensures that:
Each step of the routine is scientifically justified
Products are layered in the most effective order to maximize results
Potential side effects are minimized through careful product curation
Dr. Baumann herself personally tests many of the products and designs the regimens used in our software.
Feedback from hundreds of providers helps ensure continuous improvement and real-world effectiveness.
Step 3: Patient Education and Long-Term Engagement
Whether your patients take the quiz in your office or complete it online independently, they’ll receive comprehensive guidance customized to their specific skin needs.
The system provides:
A personalized summary of their skin type
Detailed instructions on what products to use, how much, and when
Ongoing educational content via email and online libraries
After completing the quiz, patients are directed to check their inbox for an educational email containing their regimen and key skin care insights.
Encourage them to whitelist the email or check their spam folder to ensure they don’t miss this valuable information.
Each Baumann Skin Type has its own email education journey, which also varies based on purchasing behavior:
No product purchase
Partial regimen purchase (fewer than 3 products)
Full regimen purchase
The email content they receive every 30 days covers topics such as:
How to evaluate if the regimen is working
Managing common side effects
When to consider changing or upgrading products (e.g., stronger retinol)
Reinforcing the importance of using the full recommended routine
We also recommend that your staff go through the process themselves and read the monthly emails.
This firsthand experience will help them better explain the system to patients and answer common questions confidently.
