Updated over 6 months ago

This article will talk you through how to find the before photos section within Aesthetic Nurse Software and also how to take and upload a photo of your patients for your treatement documentation for the appointment.

Your treatment photos help to support your documentation for the treatment but can also be used for marketing for your company to help show the difference of before and after the treatment.

You are able to upload 6 images of your patient at one time however you are able to do multiple uploads.

To learn how to find and take a photo for your treatment documentation, watch our short video below. Alternatively, follow our simple steps.


Step 1 :

To take a photo of your patients, an appointment will need to be in the diary first. Once an appointment is booked you will need to click on this appointment in the diary to bring up the appointment summary and then choosing to view the patients record.

Step 2 :

Then when in the patients record, you will need to click on the appointment you wish to add the photos to.

Step 3 :

Once in the appointment, head to the before photos hexagon.

Step 4 :

You will first see a photo consent statement which your patients are able to sign to agree to their photos being stored within the software and also shared on social media if this is their preference.

A default photo consent statement will already be stored within your software. However you are able to edit this statement to suit your clinics needs. To learn how to do this within ANS head to our photo consent guide.

Step 5 :

To take a photo of your patient, select the add photo button.

Step 6 :

Before taking the photo of your patient you are able to select the date the photos are taken.

Step 7 :

Then to take a photo of your patient whilst they are in clinic, select the camera option.

Step 8 :

This will then open the camera option on your device where you can take a photo of your patient. If you would then like to take another photo of your patient click the add more option and repeat the process.

You are able to upload 6 images at a time, but you are able to upload multiple times.

Step 9 :

Once happy with your images, click upload.

Step 10 :

This will then upload the images to the appointment and date stamp the images as stated.
