## What is Afterglow?

A recovery journal for cosmetic dermatology procedures: consistent photos, day-by-day healing context, and a clean summary for your provider.

After a laser, peel, or microneedling session, the days blur together. Afterglow gives them a shape — one photo taken the same way each day, a few taps on how you feel, and plain-language reference for the procedure you logged.

WHAT'S INSIDE

Guided photo capture
A faint outline of your last photo helps you line up today's at the same angle and distance. Full-resolution originals stay on your phone.

Your recovery, day by day
For supported procedures, each day carries reference drawn from published medical guidance: what people commonly experience around this point in the recovery, and what is worth a call to your provider.

Compare any two days
Put two days side by side and see the change for yourself.

A report for your appointment
Generate a dated PDF of your log and your photos to bring to your provider. You choose where it goes.

AI Photo Notes — optional, one photo at a time
A short written note on what a photo appears to show, in plain words. Nothing is sent anywhere until you ask for a note, and you decide photo by photo.

WHEN TO CONTACT YOUR PROVIDER
Every guide names the signs that are worth a call. That guidance is always available and never behind a purchase.

PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
No account. No ads. No tracking. Your photos stay on your phone unless you choose an AI Photo Note.

WHAT AFTERGLOW IS NOT
Afterglow is a journal and a reference — not a diagnosis, and not a substitute for your provider's plan. It makes no claim about how your recovery turns out, and your provider's instructions always come first.

RECOVERY PASS
Afterglow is free to log with. Recovery Pass unlocks day-by-day guides, AI Photo Notes, and provider-ready reports for $19.99, one time — not a subscription. It covers every procedure from that session, and your log stays yours after the recovery ends.
