Method of determining the effectiveness of a treatment on a face
Provided are methods of determining effectiveness of face treatments comprising: providing a front-facing image of the face prior to use of the treatment; identifying a y-axis of the face, wherein the y-axis is defined by a line connecting the center position of the chin of the face through the center of the face; identifying an x-axis of the face, wherein the x-axis is defined by a line that is positioned at a 90-degree angle from the y-axis and goes through the center of the chin of the face; selecting a facial landmark; identifying a facial landmark line, wherein the facial landmark line is defined by a line connecting the center position of the chin of the face to the facial landmark; measuring the angle between the x-axis and the facial landmark line; carrying out the treatment on the face; providing a front-facing image of the face after the treatment.
1 . A method of determining the effectiveness of a treatment on a face having a jawline and a chin, the method comprising:
(a) providing a first front-facing image of the face prior to use of the treatment;
(b) identifying a y-axis of the face, wherein the y-axis is defined by a line connecting the center position of the chin of the face through the center of the face;
(c) identifying an x-axis of the face, wherein the x-axis is defined by a line that is positioned at a 90-degree angle from the y-axis and goes through the center of the chin of the face;

(g) carrying out the treatment on the face;
(h) providing a second front-facing image of the face after the treatment; and
(i) repeating steps (b)-(f).
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the second front-facing image of the face after the treatment is taken at least one week after the treatment.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein additional front-facing images are provided and steps (b)-(f) are repeated at regular intervals.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein additional front-facing images are provided and steps (b)-(f) are repeated during a treatment period.
5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising (j) comparing the angle between the x-axis and the facial landmark line before the treatment to the angle between the x-axis and the facial landmark line after the treatment.
