This insider guide, created by KMR Communications, a top dermatology PR firm, explains how dermatologists can leverage influencer marketing to grow their visibility, their practice, and their profits.

To understand how and why influencer marketing for dermatologists works, first, it’s key to have a solid understanding of what dermatologist influencers are and what exactly these social media specialists do.

-
- A board certified dermatologist
