Clinical Guide
A.9. Photography
It is recommended to take “before” and “after” photographs to document the
treatment progress. These photographs provide objective evidence, since many
patients are not able to assess the progress of treatment with its gradual
improvement.
Standard conditions and similar camera speed, flash and focal distance should be
used to photograph all patients. This consistency enables an objective comparison
of photos taken at different times.
