Johannesburg · Online doctor consult
Online acne treatment in Johannesburg — start with a doctor consult
The Skin Crowd works entirely online and sees patients across South Africa, including Johannesburg. Instead of driving to a skin clinic, you meet a registered doctor by video from home, work or campus — Sandton, Soweto, Midrand, Roodepoort, Fourways or anywhere else in Gauteng.
Getting acne treatment right starts with a proper consultation, so that is where we start.
Initial consultation R 250 — once-off, non-refundable. Consult fee only.
Why online instead of a Johannesburg skin clinic
An online consult saves the drive, the parking and the waiting room. You book a time that fits around school or work, and your photos and assessment answers are with your doctor before you meet.
- Video consult with a registered doctor, about 20 minutes
- Short online skin assessment first, about 5 minutes
- WhatsApp support Mon–Fri, 08:00–18:00
Who you will speak to
Consultations are with Dr Christine van Looy, a registered medical practitioner (HPCSA MP0879240). She is a GP, not a dermatologist, and refers you to a specialist or for an in-person examination when your skin needs one.
What it costs
The initial consultation is R250, once-off and non-refundable. It covers the consultation only, and there is no obligation to sign up for anything afterwards.
For any age living in South Africa. Under-18s need a parent or guardian to consent and to join the video consultation.
