Devote as much time and attention to your photos as possible. You need them first of all for yourself – for comparison and motivation purposes. You may show your photos to us at any time, if you have any question or want to share your success story. We will be glad to publish your photos in the Success of Patakara Users section.

Key points

• Make sure that the before and after photos are taken at the same place, with the same light, and at the same time of the day.
• Your face and a part of your décolleté should be seen on the photos (full face and both sides). For the first photo: from the middle of the décolleté, up to a couple of centimeters above your head. For the secondone:  face photo – from the beginning of neck below the chin, up to the hair line. Find examples below.
• Choose a light (preferably white) background, without any pattern or print.
• Take photos with maximum (natural, if possible) lighting.
• Avoid any shadow on the background which blurs your face contour.
• Try to take photos always at the same distance and at the same height.
• Do not process your photos by any means.
• Do not apply make-up. Photos should be as natural as possible.
• If you have long hair, tie it up. Use the same hair accessories in all photos.
• Try to wear clothes that leave your neck and shoulders exposed.
• Do not smile.

We recommend taking photos every month, as accurately as possible. After the first six months of training, you can take photos less often— every two to three months.

Photo requirements

• Minimum recommended resolution —1080 × 1080 pixels.
• Photo size should not exceed 4 Mb (megabyte) each.
• Make sure that the picture format is JPG or PNG.

If you do not want your pictures to be published in our Instagram, FaceBook or any other social network account, or if you do not mind about the publication, but want to remain anonymous, please do not forget to notify us when sending your photo. Otherwise, we will assume that you have agreed to the publication of your pictures.

If you have any special problem in certain face areas, respective photos should be taken:

• upper part of the face: from the hair line to the nose bridge;
• middle part of the face: from the brow line to the center of the upper lip;
• lower part of the face and neck: from the nose tip to the upper third of the neck.

Also, take a separate photo of your eyes. In some cases, subject to the training efficiency and, thus, to the improved blood supply to the brain, the eye color becomes more intense.
