Dermatology Practices
Sell Your Dermatology Practice With Advisors Who Know the Market
Dermatology is one of the most sought-after specialties in healthcare M&A right now — more buyers, more competing offers, and more ways to get it wrong without the right advisor.
Market Snapshot
A Specialty Buyers Are Actively Competing For
Dermatology has held up better than most physician specialties through recent market softening. A few things are driving that.
Diversified revenue
Insurance-based medical visits, higher-margin surgical work like Mohs surgery, and cash-pay cosmetic/medspa services smooth out the ups and downs other specialties feel more sharply.
A large, active buyer pool
Dozens of private-equity-backed dermatology platforms are actively acquiring nationwide, alongside individual dermatologists and regional groups.
Real, ongoing patient demand
Skin cancer screenings and chronic condition management create steady, recurring visit volume that isn’t going away.
Valuation
Three Things That Move Dermatology Multiples
Diversified revenue
Practices combining general dermatology with Mohs surgery, pathology, and cosmetic/medspa services typically command stronger multiples than single-service general derm.
Payer mix & contracts
A healthy mix of commercial insurance relationships versus heavy reliance on government payers directly affects what buyers are willing to pay.
Scale
Solo, single-location practices sit at one end of the range; multi-provider groups and regional platforms sit meaningfully higher.
Buyer Landscape
Understanding Your Buyer Pool
Not every buyer type is right for every seller. Part of our job is helping you understand which trade-offs matter to you before we start a buyer conversation.
| Buyer Type | What They're Looking For |
|---|---|
| PE-backed dermatology platforms | Multi-provider groups or practices with strong cosmetic/ancillary revenue that can integrate into an existing platform. |
| Individual dermatologists | Solo or small practices, often valuing continuity of care and staff/patient relationships as much as price. |
| Regional dermatology groups | Practices that expand geographic footprint or add sub-specialty capability, like Mohs or pediatric derm. |

FAQ
Common Questions
Is now a good time to sell a dermatology practice?
Dermatology has remained one of the more active specialties for buyers even during periods when other healthcare specialties saw slower deal activity. That doesn't mean every practice should sell right now — it means the option is worth evaluating with a real valuation rather than guesswork.
Do I need cosmetic/medspa revenue to attract buyers?
No, but practices with a diversified mix — medical, surgical, and cosmetic — often see stronger interest and stronger offers than single-service general dermatology practices.
What's equity rollover, and do I have to accept it?
Many private-equity-backed platform deals ask sellers to reinvest a portion of proceeds as equity in the new combined company, rather than taking 100% cash at close. Whether that makes sense depends on your goals.
