Make your first photo easy to repeat
Take a relaxed front view and side views in indirect daylight. Hold the camera at face height, use the same distance each time and turn off smoothing or portrait effects.
Keep the date and context
Note when the treatment took place and when you took each photo. If you are tracking a concern, record when it started and whether it is changing. A brief timeline helps your practitioner interpret what they see.
Use the clinic’s contact instructions
Ask which channel to use if the clinic requests a photo. If you are concerned about an unexpected symptom, call for advice promptly and explain the symptom as well as the visible change.
