Frequently Asked Questions

How can I tell if before and after photos are manipulated?

Look for inconsistent lighting between photos, different camera angles, different makeup or styling, edited backgrounds, and different time of day. Trustworthy photos use standardized lighting, the same angle, no makeup in both shots, and consistent backgrounds.

What makes before and after photos trustworthy?

Trustworthy photos use standardized lighting setups, identical camera angles and distances, no makeup in either photo, consistent backgrounds, and clear timestamps. VERZO CLINIC follows a strict photography protocol for all patient documentation.

Why do some clinics use different lighting in before and after photos?

Harsh overhead lighting in the before photo emphasizes shadows, wrinkles, and imperfections. Soft front-facing lighting in the after photo minimizes these features. This lighting difference alone can make results appear more dramatic than they actually are.

How soon after treatment are after photos typically taken?

Timing matters significantly. Photos taken within days may show swelling that mimics volume improvement. Photos taken at peak results (2-4 weeks for fillers, 3-6 months for biostimulators) give a more accurate representation of outcomes.

Can filters be used on before and after photos?

Yes, even subtle filters can smooth skin texture, even out skin tone, and enhance the appearance of results. Look for photos that appear overly smooth or have unnatural skin tone consistency. Authentic photos show real skin texture including pores.

Should I ask to see before and after photos during my consultation?

Absolutely. Request to see photos of patients with similar concerns, age, and skin type. You can also ask to see photos via LINE before your visit. VERZO CLINIC maintains a library of standardized patient photos available upon request.
