Collecting before and after photos is essential for documenting the treatment's effectiveness and helping both skin care professionals and clients assess the results. These photos should be taken with specific parameters in mind to ensure accuracy and consistency. Here are some key parameters to consider: 

Lighting Conditions:
Use consistent, even lighting for both before and after photos.
Avoid harsh shadows that can distort the appearance of the skin.
Natural light is ideal, but if not available, use soft, diffuse artificial lighting.

Background:
Choose a plain, neutral background that is consistent with every photo, that won't distract from the subject (e.g., a white or gray backdrop).
Ensure the background remains the same for both before and after photos.

Camera Angle and Distance:
Keep the camera at the same angle and distance for both before and after shots.
Capture the face in a straight-on view to highlight the treated area.
Have the client look in the same place and same direction each time.

Client Preparation:
Ensure the client's face is clean and makeup-free.
Hair should be pulled back away from the face and not covering the treated area.
Ideally, the client should have similar (resting) facial expressions and pose for both photos.

Framing:
Frame the photos to include the entire treated area, such as the full face or a specific target area.
Maintain consistent framing between before and after shots.

Image Labeling:
When submitting your videos and photos, clearly label each file with the client's name, date, and treatment details.
Distinguish between "Before" and "After" photos to prevent confusion.

Image and Video Quality:
Each set of progress photos should include a front view, left profile and right profile.
Images must be in high resolution.

Timing:
Take the "Before" photo just before the initial chemical peel treatment.
Take "After" photos at specific intervals, such as when they come in for the next treatment, and post-treatment (e.g., 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month) to show the progression of cumulative results.

Consent:
Obtain informed consent from the client for capturing and storing their photos.
Ensure clients understand how the photos will be used, including potential publication for educational or marketing purposes.

Standardised Poses:
Consider using standardised poses and video angles, such as a three-quarter view or a close-up of the treated area, to highlight specific changes.

Video and Image Editing:
Do not edit the images in anyway. This is grounds for disqualification. Video trimming is allowed however there must be no use of filters or any visual editing. 

Documentation
Please document every treatment plan, product application, post care and home care.

Exclusivity
All products and treatments used during this time period MUST be exclusively and solely Circadia.
