• “Instagram Messenger Bot was a useful tool to get more information on my skin condition. I liked the fact that it not only gave me different options on what I could have but also gave me in depth information on what each disease entailed. It’s far easier than a Google Search where the information pool is so big you don’t know where to begin. 
• “This ChatBot has helped me with my skin problem in just a few minutes. I loved it. It’s so easy to use and that’s why I loved it so much. Give it a try”. 
• “I’m not tech savvy, but with this Chat Bot I could easily resolve the problem I’m having in my skin right now. I liked the fact that I didn’t need to give out my personal information in order to use it, and it made me feel more comfortable”. 

 

First Derm Instagram Messenger Bot is great for giving peace of mind.

With 70% of cases requiring only a simple treatment, you’ll save a trip to the doctor’s office. Having this fast, easy to use free tool is inarguably convenient for users of all ages and helps to provide tangible information on any skin concern. However, the information received is to be used for medical guidance. It is not a definitive medical diagnosis or treatment plan, but rather steps that can be taken before a visit to the doctor is needed.

First Derm services bridges the gap between an internet search and an in-person dermatologist consultation. Surveys suggest that about 80% of internet users search online for information about their medical symptoms. Not only is this process time consuming, but it can often lead to misinformation. First Derm’s Instagram Messenger Bot brings the perfect solution for all netizens.
