Why Facebook and Instagram ads work for dermatologists
Dermatology practices offer both medical care, such as skin checks, and cosmetic treatments, such as lasers and injectables. Facebook works best for the cosmetic and preventive side, where patients choose providers based on trust and visuals.
Health and wellness tracking rules
Meta may restrict health advertisers from optimizing for lower-funnel events. I check Events Manager for restrictions and plan campaigns around permitted events and lead forms.
Common problems I fix
- Mixing medical and cosmetic messaging
- Policy issues with skin imagery
- Long waitlists
