For dermatology
Patient management software for dermatology clinics and practices
Consultations and session-based procedures side by side. Patients, appointments and money for both in one program; the follow-up date waits in the plan, the lesion photo stays on the card and sessions are ticked off as they are done.
What slips in a dermatology practice?
Follow-ups are forgotten
“Let’s see you in a month,” you say; a month later neither the patient nor the receptionist remembers. The file closes before anyone sees how the treatment worked.
Consultations and procedures get mixed
A consultation fee and a laser session on the same day; one reaches the cash desk, the other never lands on the card. At month end nobody can say which work the income came from.
Photo on a phone, consent in a folder
The first photo of the lesion is on an assistant’s phone and the signed consent is in a cupboard. Three months later, when a comparison is needed, neither can be found.
What Clinigim does about it
Consultation and procedure flow on one patient card. Each of the following is a screen that works in the app today.
Full history on the patient card
Consultations, procedures, payments and notes in date order on one page. Quick notes are visible only to the doctor who wrote them; neither the receptionist nor a colleague can read them.
The follow-up date waits in the plan
Add the follow-up visit to the treatment plan as a row with its planned date. A row whose date has passed is marked Overdue, and one click on it opens an appointment.
Session-based procedures and instalments
Laser, peeling and similar series sit in the plan row by row; the card shows how many sessions are done next to the total. The amount splits into 2 to 12 instalments.
Consent on screen or on paper
Have the patient sign your clinic’s consent text on screen, or print it and sign on paper, then attach the paper copy to the card. On-screen signing opens once the clinic buys a plan.
Consultations and procedures in one cash desk
Every payment is recorded as cash, card or transfer; a card payment is filed under the POS device it went through. The end-of-day cash comes out by itself.
Online booking page
Patients choose the service and the doctor and book a free slot themselves; the booking lands in your calendar. Put the link on your website or Instagram profile.
How are consultations and session-based procedures kept apart on one card?
A dermatology practice does two kinds of work: the one-off consultation and the procedure series that runs over weeks. Both sit on the same patient card but are followed differently; the table shows where each one is recorded.
In a series the session count does not go down by itself; you mark each session as it is done. A postponed or repeated session therefore shows in the record exactly as it happened.
| Record | Where in Clinigim | What it shows |
|---|---|---|
| Consultation | One row with New Transaction | Amount, paid, balance and payment method |
| Session-based procedure | Row by row in the treatment plan | Sessions done, planned day, delay |
| Follow-up visit | A dated row in the plan | Overdue mark once the date passes |
| Photos and documents | The card’s files section | Type, date and who opened the file |
Where are lesion photos and dermatoscope images kept?
A follow-up photo is only useful if it can be found at the next visit. Clinigim does not connect to a dermatoscope or camera; you take the image from the device or a phone and attach it to the patient’s card:
- Pick the file type: Photo, Document, Before or After. The card filters by type and keeps files in date order.
- JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC and PDF upload, up to 25 MB per file. File storage opens once the clinic buys a plan.
- Who opened an image, and when, shows in the file’s access history.
- There is no image measurement, side-by-side comparison or automatic assessment; the doctor does the comparing.
How do follow-ups stop being forgotten?
“Follow-up in a month” is forgotten unless it is written down. Clinigim catches it in two ways, and both work by hand today, at your touch:
- Add a follow-up with a known date to the treatment plan as a row and type the day. Once the day passes the row turns Overdue, and you create the appointment from the row.
- For patients without a set date, choose a number of days in Settings; patients who have not come back for that long gather in the Check-up reminders list on the Patients tab.
- Pick patients from the list, open the ready check-up message on WhatsApp and send it from your own number.
- Once an appointment is booked, the Request appointment confirmation message sends the patient a confirmation link; if they confirm, the appointment shows as Confirmed. The booking side is on the features page.
What to look for in dermatology clinic software
In the first week of the trial, see the answer to each of these on a real patient card.
Are consultations and series kept apart?
A one-off fee and a session series on the same card, followed separately.
Are sessions marked as they happen?
A postponed session should not look done.
Is the follow-up date recorded?
A follow-up whose date has passed should be flagged by itself.
Are photos kept apart by type?
Before and after images should filter separately on the card.
Can you see who opened an image?
Sensitive photos need an access history.
Is the consent text yours?
You should be able to edit your own consent text and have patients sign it.
Does the cash desk split by POS device?
Consultation and procedure payments should add up per device in the evening.

Questions dermatologists ask
- Does it connect to a dermatoscope or camera?
- No. Clinigim does not connect to a dermatoscope, a camera or an image archive. Take the image from your device or phone and attach it to the patient card as Photo, Before or After; JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC and PDF are accepted. The program does not measure or interpret images. File storage opens once the clinic buys a plan.
- Is there e-prescription or a link to national health systems?
- No. Clinigim is not a health information system; it writes no prescriptions and sends no data to e-Nabız or any other public system. Your practice may need a registered system for its official record-keeping. In that case Clinigim works next to it for appointments, session tracking, collections and cash.
- Where are patient photos and data kept?
- Clinigim is developed and operated in Turkey; the database is kept in a data centre in Turkey, patient files and encrypted backups in data centres in the EU; connections are encrypted. Each clinic sees only its own data, free-text clinical notes are encrypted and two-step verification can be switched on. Who opened a file shows in its access history, and who changed a record shows in the audit log. Details are on the Security page.
- Does the remaining session count go down by itself?
- No, and that is deliberate. You open the series on the treatment plan row by row and mark each session Done when it happens. The card shows sessions done next to the total. A postponed or repeated session therefore stays in the record exactly as it happened, while payment is followed in a separate instalment plan.
- What does the receptionist see on the patient card?
- You add the receptionist by invitation link; appointments, the patient card, payments and reports are separate permissions, given to each person from the Staff tab. Nobody can see your quick notes. Custom roles are in the Professional and Enterprise plans. Every record the receptionist enters keeps their name, so you can see later who changed a payment.
- Do patients who miss a follow-up get an automatic message?
- Not yet; automatic reminders are coming soon. Today you see patients who have not come back for a while in the Check-up reminders list, open a ready message on WhatsApp for those you pick and send it from your own number. A patient with an appointment can get a personal link with the Request appointment confirmation message; they confirm or cancel and the calendar updates.
- How much does it cost?
- There is no separate price for dermatology clinics; a single-doctor practice and a clinic with several doctors both pick one of three plans. Three plans; in Turkey 999, 1,499 and 2,499 TRY per month (October 2026), other countries see the price in their own currency. 14 days free without a card; when the trial ends the clinic is not locked out.
