Photography Consent Policy

What this consent covers

Most of the work we do at Skin Essentials is visual:

we take photos in clinic for record keeping and note taking purposes
progress photos in clinic also allow for record keeping of any changes, complications and the like.

As a visual industry, we also rely on the generosity of our patients to allow us to share in clinic, your results with other prospective patients.

The aim is to show potential outcomes they may be seeking.
Lastly, for the purposes of results at conferences and on social media, we will always check with you if we can share your results and show you the final result for your approval before posting anywhere. You need not agree to this, but it would help us if you did.

I have been asked by Dr Imaan Joshi, for Skin Essentials, to consent to my image being used as part of clinic materials about the effects of my procedure.

These images are additional to those that are stored in my patient record to document the outcomes of my procedure.

Instead, the images may be made available to current and prospective patients. My image will be used without any filter or modification; there will be no identifying information on these, and will be done respecting my privacy eg if I wear hijab, these won’t be shown to men.

I acknowledge and agree that:

My image can be shown to patients during consultations.
My image can be published on Skin Essentials’ website.
My image can be posted on social media.
I will have seen and approved these images before signing this document.
Dr Joshi’s capacity to comment on the image is limited under Australian law to statements that are factual and verifiable.
I will not be asked to, and must not, provide any personal testimony about the effectiveness of the procedure and must not make any comparisons between Dr Joshi’s services and those of other providers (as any such testimony and comparison is illegal under Australian law).
My images will be stored on Skin Essentials’ secure devices, with Dr Joshi and clinic staff only having access to them.
I understand that I have the right to refuse use of my image on social media and that exercising this right will not affect my capacity to access services through Skin Essentials.
I understand that I can withdraw my consent to the use of my image at any time, by contacting contact@skinessentials.com.au .

Upon receiving this withdrawal, we will:

acknowledge your wishes; and
promptly stop using your image (by deleting them from advertising).

I have read the above and consent to use of my image for these purposes as discussed.
