Key takeaways
  • All Zest appointments happen on Zoom. Your secure link is always available in the Zest portal.
  • Uploading photos and completing your quality of life survey before your visit helps your provider see the full picture of how your skin affects your daily life.
  • Your appointment is a chance to share openly, review your goals, and adjust your treatment plan with a focus on staying in control without over-relying on medication.

Preparing for your Zest appointment is straightforward. A few small steps before your visit make a real difference. When your provider has the right information going in, the conversation stays focused on what matters most to you.

Think of it as giving your care team the tools they need to support your skin health through a whole-person lens.

How to Get Ready

Follow these three steps before your visit:

  • Think about what is working and what is not. Bring notes on your current treatments, daily habits, or anything you have noticed about your flare triggers. Even a few sentences helps.
  • Upload photos and complete your quality of life survey. You get a link by text before your visit. It takes just a few minutes and helps your provider understand how your skin affects your daily routines, confidence, and comfort.
  • Join on Zoom. Your secure link is always in the Zest portal. If you are joining on your phone, download the Zoom app ahead of time to avoid any delays.

What to Expect During Your Visit

Your Zest provider reviews how things have been going since your last visit. Here is what the conversation typically covers:

  • Your goals. What you want from your skin health, and whether your current plan is getting you there.
  • What is working and what is not. An honest look at your treatments, symptoms, and day-to-day experience.
  • Your treatment plan. Your provider may adjust your plan based on how your skin is doing, always with a focus on staying in control without over-relying on prescriptions.

Have questions before your appointment, or not sure where to find your Zoom link? Reach out through your Zest portal. Your care team is here to help you get ready.

The Skin Deep Summary

With a little preparation, your Zest appointment becomes more than a check-in. It is your chance to share openly, review your goals, and explore whether your treatment can be simplified while keeping your skin in control.

Your provider is here to be your partner, making sure your plan fits your life, not the other way around.
