Dermafy operates as a digital healthcare entity in Germany, focusing on teledermatology. The company was founded by the brothers Dr. med. Frederic Pfeifer and Dr. med. Sebastian Pfeifer, both practicing dermatologists. The idea for the company originated from their experience of frequently receiving photos from acquaintances seeking initial dermatological assessments, which highlighted a need for a more accessible solution. Christian Drerup, who serves as the Co-Founder, CFO, and CSO, brings strategic and financial analysis to the team. The core of Dermafy's business is a mobile application that provides patients with remote access to dermatological consultations.

The business model centers on providing swift and convenient medical services for a fee. Patients use the app to upload three photos of their skin condition and complete a brief questionnaire. A team of German-based dermatologists then provides a diagnosis and a personalized treatment plan, typically within an average of four hours. This service operates 24/7, including holidays, eliminating the need for travel and waiting room delays. Revenue is generated through a one-time treatment fee of €24.90, which is covered by private health insurance providers. If a diagnosis cannot be made, the fee is fully refunded. Should a prescription be necessary, a private prescription is mailed directly to the patient's home.

Dermafy is part of the Dermafy Group, which aims to integrate technology with medical expertise to improve access to skin health. The group also includes Skinapy, a digital therapy platform for acne, and Reskinery, a line of medical-grade skincare products. This integrated structure allows the company to offer a spectrum of solutions, from telemedical services to digital therapeutics and skincare products, catering to patients, doctors, and corporate clients. The app was launched in December 2022. Based in Schorndorf, Germany, the company remains unfunded.
