CLINICAL RECORDS AND MARKETING ARE DIFFERENT
Aesthetic Treatment Photography and Privacy Guide in Johor Bahru
Before-and-after photographs can support clinical documentation, but public use on websites, social media or advertising has a different purpose. Ask how each permission is explained and recorded.
Educational guidance only. Individual decisions require assessment and treatment-specific advice.
WHY THIS MATTERS
Make the decision from clear information
A useful discussion covers which areas are photographed, whether you can be identified, who can access the image, where it may appear and what happens if you later change your preference.
Clinical purpose
Ask why the image is needed for assessment, planning or progress documentation.
Identifiability
Face, tattoos, jewellery, clothing, voice and background details may reveal identity.
External use
Understand whether images may appear in education, websites, social media, advertising or presentations.
Future choices
Ask how withdrawal for future promotional use is handled and what cannot be reversed after publication.
