About

Zerigo’s vision is a world where everyone with chronic skin conditions has access to the best care science offers. For founder Martyn Gross, that vision was personal. He had experienced excellent results using UVB therapy to treat his psoriasis, but found that visiting his dermatologist three times a week for in-office treatment was totally unsustainable. Why wasn’t there an effective way to treat chronic skin conditions without all the tradeoffs? He founded Zerigo Health to change that.

For too long, treating chronic skin conditions like psoriasis, eczema, and vitiligo has come with frustrating tradeoffs: Either you make multiple visits to your dermatologist for phototherapy treatment every week, or your condition flares up; either you endure the safety risks and side effects of biologic treatments or you suffer with painful, embarrassing skin legions; either you cover expensive treatments that drive up premiums for everyone, or you leave 10% of your population out in the cold.

The treatment tradeoffs have left gaps in our healthcare system that has ripple effects beyond the dermatology industry. Nearly one in ten people suffer from chronic autoimmune skin conditions that impair not only their physical health, but also their emotional well-being and even their ability to perform their jobs. Standard drug treatments cost payers over $20B annually—and those costs are only growing.

Zerigo is counteracting that ripple effect by reinventing how care is delivered. Our mission is to empower people with chronic skin conditions and remove waste from the healthcare system by providing easy access to the most effective care. Our safe, at-home phototherapy solutions deliver on that mission by giving members an effective way to achieve clear skin, while significantly reducing costs for employers and health plans—in turn, lowering premiums and healthcare costs for everyone.

Together, with our members and partners, we’re creating the future of care delivery for chronic skin conditions.
