Uberizing Cosmetic Boutique Services

Lisa Goodman founded GoodSkin Clinics in LA and NY to bring over to the U.S. the unique European anti-aging techniques, based on a personalized diagnostic approach.

That’s when Lisa decided it was time for an innovative, healthy-aging skincare app.

Merging Patient and Practitioner Experiences in One App

Initially, Topflight was called on to create a white-glove mobile experience for GoodSkin customers so they could easily explore the clinic’s services and shop for a quote.

Practitioner Features

First of all, we enhanced the app with features accessible to GoodSkin staff:

treatment plans

payments

quotes sending

The practitioners could bring up the app during consultations to put together a treatment plan and then initiate and process the payment.

However, it quickly became evident that the app could do so much more by creating a streamlined and engaging experience for both customers and GoodSkin personnel.

loyalty program

gifts & discounts

They could also use the app to send quotes to customers and fine-tune their loyalty program by creating custom rewards and tiers.

Patient Features

review services 

view before/after samples 

watch educational videos 

ask for a quote 

chat with a representative 

On the patient side of the app, we focused on making the clinic’s services easily accessible, engaging, and informative:

Ideal Tech Stack

Instead of creating separate apps for iPad and iPhone, we used React Native to build a single app. The outcome? An exceptional user experience on iPads, which we gracefully downgraded for iPhones. 

To enable on-the-spot payment processing, we integrated the app with a Bluetooth credit card reader by Stripe. As a result, GoodSkin started collecting payments by swiping cards in the reader or manually entering card details into the app.

To add a touch of personality, the app automatically matches GoodSkin services with customers’ areas of concern, ethnicity, age, and other physical attributes.

Engaging Technologies

Support for Google Photos

While creating a treatment plan, users can add their photos by taking a picture or uploading a photo from the gallery. Practitioners can also upload images from Google Photos.

Engaged Patients and Empowered Practitioners

The GoodSkin app is live in the App Store, sporting 5-star reviews. The company enjoys well-deserved attention in the media spotlight and reaps the benefits of having a digital channel for engaging and keeping in touch with its customers, especially during the pandemic.

“Topflight Apps is accommodating and flexible. When we changed the direction of the project, they were able to roll with it. They came up with additional functions we weren’t even thinking about. Their team understood how to make our app user-friendly.”
