Face chart
Face map and face chart template for aesthetics clinics
A face map is a dated record that links numbered marks on a face chart to the treatment performed, product, batch and amount used. Keep the chart with the consent and treatment record for that visit. This template supplies the recording fields; attach your clinic-approved blank facial diagram or a securely held patient photograph.

A face chart needs to make sense when another practitioner reads the record later. This template keeps the diagram references and written detail together, with separate space for baseline findings and treatment completed.
Keep the chart readable across visits
The GMC’s record-keeping guidance requires clear, accurate and contemporaneous records. The NMC Code, section 10 sets record-keeping duties for its registrants. These sources support the recording principles; neither approves this particular chart or supplies a treatment plan.
Use an identifier that joins the chart to the patient’s record, date and consent. A diagram without a key cannot reliably explain whether a mark represents an observation, a plan or treatment completed. Label those separately.
Keep later visits separate. If the record needs a correction, retain the original and identify the author, time and reason for the addition. Store clinical photographs securely with their record references, rather than on an untracked device or in a messaging thread.
FAQ
Is face mapping the same as an injection plan?
A completed map documents the assessment and treatment. This blank chart does not recommend where to inject, how much product to use or which technique is suitable. Those decisions belong to a qualified practitioner.
Does the download include a facial outline?
The document supplies the chart key and record tables. Attach your clinic’s blank diagram or a securely held clinical photograph, identified by the reference fields. Do not use a pre-marked injection diagram as though it were a patient-specific record.
Can the chart be used for anti-wrinkle and filler treatment?
It has fields for recording either where relevant to your practice. The product, units and other entries must reflect what was actually used; the template does not set a shared dosing or treatment protocol.
What other documents should sit alongside it?
Use the medical history form, the relevant consent, such as the skin booster consent framework, and a full treatment record.
Your next step
Read and copy the chart or use the available download, then have your clinical lead review the fields and the diagram you will attach. The template library holds the related documents. Review this recording framework with your prescriber and insurer before use; it is not clinical or legal advice.
