  1. A practitioner is building a portfolio for FAC submission and has treated 30 patients but only 8 signed photo release forms. The best course of action is:

    Answer: Proceed with the 8 consented cases only and implement a consent-at-booking workflow going forward

    Only properly consented cases may be used, and a consent-at-booking workflow ensures future cases are portfolio-ready from the start.

  2. Temporal consistency in a before-and-after portfolio means that the 'after' photo should be taken:

    Answer: Once acute swelling and bruising have fully resolved and results have stabilized

    Photographing after full resolution ensures the image reflects the true, stable outcome rather than inflammatory changes that distort the result.

  3. Which of the following is a red flag that a portfolio case should NOT be included in a FAC submission?

    Answer: The outcome photo was taken before full resolution of post-treatment edema

    Including photos taken before swelling has resolved misrepresents the true outcome and violates the clinical integrity required for certification assessment.

  4. For FAC portfolio purposes, a 'series case' (same patient, multiple sessions) should be presented as:

    Answer: A single case with timeline images showing progressive results across sessions

    A timeline series within one case entry demonstrates longitudinal planning and cumulative outcome management, which is a valued competency.

  5. Camera settings that help ensure reproducible portfolio photos across sessions include:

    Answer: Fixed ISO, aperture, shutter speed, and white balance preset saved as a custom profile

    Fixed manual settings saved as a custom camera profile eliminate exposure and color variables between sessions, ensuring true comparability.

  6. An aesthetics practitioner wants to use AI skin-analysis comparison tools to present before-and-after data in their portfolio. The main ethical requirement is:

    Answer: The AI analysis must be disclosed and not used as a substitute for photographic clinical evidence

    AI-generated analysis should be labeled as such and complement — not replace — direct photographic evidence of clinical outcomes.

  7. The purpose of including a 'rejected case' or complication case in an advanced FAC portfolio is to demonstrate:

    Answer: Clinical maturity through recognition of limitations and appropriate complication management

    Documenting a complication with the corrective steps taken shows advanced self-reflection, sound judgment, and responsible clinical practice.
