Doctor Keloid

Overview

Halo took over end-to-end social for Doctor Keloid, a respected NYC cosmetic surgeon. Strategy, production, editing, posting, community, and reporting, all kept in-house.

The Challenge

Doctor Keloid had clinical authority but his social presence didn't reflect it. Even the content that was being posted wasn't engaging, and the practice was over-reliant on paid traffic to fill the calendar.

  • Limited overall social presence across platforms.
  • Procedure recaps weren't recorded with quality.
  • No hooks in the edit, so viewers were scrolling past.
  • Transformations were flat side-by-side photos, not stories.
  • Tone was sales-driven and outdated, not relatable or educational.
  • The doctor's personality wasn't coming through, the thing that actually sets a practice apart.
  • No bandwidth to manage posting consistently across three platforms.

The Halo Treatment

  • Rebuilt content pillars around patient education, transformation, and founder voice.
  • Wrote stronger verbal and on-screen hooks engineered to stop the scroll.
  • Reimagined transformations as creative, narrative-led reveals instead of static before-and-afters.
  • Pulled Dr. Keloid's personality forward with content that felt human, not clinical.
  • Upgraded recording quality and tightened editing for short-form pacing.
  • Owned posting, community management, and DM funnels across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.

Paid ad reliance

On Instagram, the top-performing content was clearly transformation-based, especially before-and-after results, significantly outperforming everything else in both views and engagement. Educational and awareness posts were close behind, particularly when we explained causes or addressed misconceptions, which produced some of the highest engagement rates on the account.

On TikTok, the algorithm strongly favored educational, problem-solving content. When we directly answered patient questions or broke something down clearly, engagement spiked.

The throughline: the audience responds to visually compelling transformations and clear, educational storytelling, not sales copy.
