How should this topic be assessed?
Changes in light, angle, expression, camera and timing reduce comparability; another person's image does not predict a personal result. Botulinum toxin products, authorised uses and units are not interchangeable; area and dose require an individual assessment. Online information cannot replace an examination-based decision about personal suitability or outcome.
What should be clarified in consultation?
Ask about standard capture conditions, image consent and retention, and the exact follow-up time shown. The goal, alternatives, the option of no procedure, material risks, follow-up and urgent warning signs should also be discussed.
