A good tracking app does two jobs: it keeps a record, and it gives you photos you can compare. These are the apps worth looking at, and what each one does well. App details are as listed on the App Store in October 2026.
What should a treatment tracking app do?
Help you take each photo the same way, then line up the same pose over weeks and months. Beyond that, look for a record you can find later, organised by treatment or routine, and check how the app stores and backs up your photos before you start.
B&A: Treatment Selfie Tracker
B&A is built around the camera. It lines you up for distance, angle and centring before every shot and captures five set poses each session. Comparisons always put the same pose side by side, so you're comparing you with you. Captures are organised into collections on a timeline, exported as grid, strip or square layouts, and reminders keep your capture days on track.
Best for: photos that line up. Price: 7-day free trial, then A$4.99 a month or A$49.99 a year. iPhone.
GlowGuide
GlowGuide records treatments with photos, notes and details, with reminders for follow-ups. It offers guided progress photos with side-by-side views, skincare product tracking, a provider finder, aftercare information and AI-generated educational answers.
Best for: a treatment diary with reminders and education in one place. Price: free. iPhone, US App Store only.
BeautyMed
BeautyMed is mainly a reminder app. It logs treatment dates, clinic names, prices and notes, shows them on a calendar, and sends a notification when your next session is due, with a home screen widget. Photo records and before and after comparison are part of its Premium plan.
Best for: knowing when your next appointment is due. Price: free, with Premium for photos. English and Japanese.
Your phone's camera roll
Free and already in your pocket, but it has no memory of how you took the last photo. Light, distance and angle change every time, and finding the right before means scrolling back through months of photos. Fine for a quick snap, hard to compare with.
