Do most doctors take photos before Botox treatment?

Physicians' practices vary tremendously. While not standard of care to take before and after photos for Botox, it is nice, especially with the first treatment, to document the effect of the treatment. I would focus more on your physician's bedside manner and treatment results than on the fact that he/she does not take photos. If you would like photos done, perhaps he/she would be inclined to do so at the next visit.

It is very common for injectors to take photos before and after each treatment in order to assess improvement after injections. Since Botox affects muscle movement and appearance of fine lines, it is nice to have pictures in order to discern if the treatment was effective or not. It is certainly not a requirement for photos to be taken and an experienced injector will be able to evaluate results regardless. Be sure your new doctor is well qualified and is experienced with Botox injections. Best of luck!

Before and After photos are valuable tools for physicians.  It is best practice but each physician practices differently.

Different doctors have different practices. I like to take before and after pictures with each treatment because it lets patients track their progress and see their results. It's also helpful should any other issues arise.

Thank you for your question. It is industry-standard practice to take before and after photos to review patients' progress. Please always consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon. Best wishes,

This is a very subjective area.   In our practice, photos are taken of all new Botox patients, but follow up photos are  rare, simply because many patients don't see the need to return until the Botox effects have worn off. 

Thank you for your questions.  The decision to take photographs is an individual one.  That being said, I always like to have pre and post procedure photographs as reference points for my patients.  Best of luck.

Before and after photos are certainly not required but in my experience, are highly beneficial to both myself and the patient. This way we are able to fully evaluate the success of a given treatment and adjust protocol as needed to maximize results.

Thank you for sharing your question.  Though not required, before and after photographs offer a good method of demonstrating to patients their results and allow tailoring of future treatments to maximize your outcome.  Hope this helps.

Every physician is different. Before and after photos are very valuable as it allows the patient to track their progress. Also, it is very helpful if any other problems should arise.
