A Guide To Taking Photos Before Your Consultation

  • Please send us your photos of areas of concern before the virtual consultation
  • Take multiple photos of your body area from different angles. From the Front, both sides and 45 degrees. A static camera is preferable as that doesn’t move around.
  • If you’re using a mobile device we suggest you mount or prop your device so that it is stable and captures you in full view or use a computer with a camera if you can. Ask a friend to help.
