Meaningful Visits
I felt like I gained a ton of information during my call. I learned a lot, was heard, and was given multiple options and advice for each one.

Flare Support
I feel listened to and understood by my team at Zest. They looked at the whole picture, and in less than six months I’d stepped down my injection. I don’t have tubes of ointment lying around — and I know exactly who to text if I happen to flare.

Real Patients on Zest

Psoriasis

Sammy

Off-ramped biologic after a decade

Instant derm support with long visits

  • Psoriasis since childhood: it touched everything, confidence, sports, social life
  • A biologic helped, but the needle, the refills, the insurance stress never went away
  • With Zest, Sammie slowly reduced the biologic. Clear skin. No more needles.

Psoriasis was the bane of my existence from childhood until today: everything from my confidence to if I play pickup soccer this weekend was a decision I had to make based on how my skin was doing. Finally, I found a biologic that manages my condition. But I thought that was the end of the road for my treatment. For the rest of my life, I’d have to depend on the injection to keep my disease at bay. Insurance changes scared me, prior authorizations and refills are a hassle.

With Zest, I was able to slowly but surely off-ramp my biologic after a decade to a needle-free clear skin future.

My skin has always been so unstable. Never knew when a flare was coming up, topical ointments overflowed from my medicine cabinet, bedside tables, and even in my car. Despite my biweekly biologic injection, I still couldn’t predict how my skin would be the next day. From special life events, to just knowing if I could wear a t-shirt on a sunny spring day, I felt like my skin and I were in constant battle.

Zest has transformed how I manage my eczema providing effective treatment without the long wait times or high costs of traditional medical practice. Zest’s long appointments where I was heard and treatment that was custom-made for me was so comforting. I started with flare management and today, I only use my shot every other month. The needle-free and steroid-free future is closer than it has ever been.

Eczema

Nina

Instant flare management

Reduced biologic dosing

  • Even on a biweekly injection, she never knew what her skin would look like tomorrow
  • Flare creams in her car, her bag, every room — always bracing for the next one
  • Zest helped her get ahead of her flares. Now she injects just once every other month.

What makes Zest Health different?

Zest Health is here for people living with psoriasis and eczema. We get you in fast–often within a day– with treatment just for you. Your care team stays with you between visits so you always know what to do next and who to reach out to.

Is virtual care effective for dermatology?

Yes–and it works especially well for skin diseases like psoriasis and eczema. So much of your skin is about what your skin looks like. Clear photos and videos can give your care team what they need to treat you. Virtual care also means you can get seen faster, follow-ups are easier, and your care team can keep a close eye on how your skin is doing over time.

Appointments & Access

How quickly can I get an appointment?

Eligible patients can schedule a virtual visit within just a few days, with many being seen as soon as the next day. No wait times so you can manage your skin disease, and prescriptions as soon as possible.

Do I need a referral to use Zest Health?

No referral is needed to get started with Zest.

Are all visits virtual?

Yes. All Zest Health appointments are conducted online through Zoom. You will meet with an experienced clinician through video meeting, from anywhere you have a secure internet connection.

Can I message my provider between visits?

Yes. Through our messaging application, you have 24/7 access to your Zest care team. You can ask questions, report changes in symptoms, or request medication adjustments.

What if I need in-person care?

If your condition requires in-person testing, procedures, or physical exams that cannot be completed virtually, Zest will help get care with a local provider.

Cost & Insurance

How much does Zest Health cost?

Virtual dermatology visits through Zest Health are available at no cost. This includes virtual visits with your care team, medication management, and secure messaging. Standard copays or coinsurance may still apply for prescriptions depending on your pharmacy benefits.

Will I have to pay for prescriptions?

Prescription costs vary based on your pharmacy benefits. Your clinician will work with you to ensure coverage for your treatment is affordable.

Treatment & Medications

What kinds of medications and treatments does Zest offer?

Zest Health provides a full range of treatment for psoriasis and eczema. Depending on what your skin needs, your care team may recommend creams, moisturizers, pills, or other medications — including shots for more serious cases. Your doctor will put together a plan just for you, with the goal of reducing flares, calming irritation, and helping your skin feel and look better over time.

Can I get a prescription through Zest?

Yes. Just like at any other clinic, Zest clinicians can prescribe and refill medications. During your visit, they’ll assess your condition, review your medical history, and collaborate with you on what treatment plan is right for you. Prescriptions are sent directly to your preferred local pharmacy, or to your designated speciality pharmacy when necessary.

How do I request a prescription refill?

You can request a prescription refill at any time through your Zest Health portal. Your care team will review your request and typically send the refill to your pharmacy within 24–48 hours. If needed, your clinician may recommend a follow-up visit before issuing a refill.

What should I do if I have a flare-up?

If you’re experiencing a flare-up, you can message your care team through the application. Your care team will review your symptoms and recommend next steps, which may include adjustments to medications, treatment plan, self-care guidance, or a same-week appointment.

When can I expect to see results from treatment?

The time it takes to see results depends on the severity of your condition and the treatment approach. Many patients experience symptom improvement after one or two visits. Your clinician will track your progress and adjust your plan over time to ensure long-term relief.

Care Team & Support

Who will be part of my care team?

Your care team includes board-certified dermatologists, licensed nurse practitioners, physician assistants and care coordinators who specialize in treating psoriasis and eczema. Each member is trained to support patients living with chronic skin conditions through personalized, evidence-based care.

Can I use Zest if I already have a dermatologist?

Absolutely. Zest can serve as your primary dermatology clinician or work in partnership with your existing care. We can offer second opinions, treatment reviews, and support between in-person visits to ensure your skin is always being managed proactively.
