Aura Review and Follow-up

Open a review episode against a treatment, record the outcome and follow-up, take review photographs and set the next review date.

2 min read · for clinician · updated 27 September 2026

A review follows a treatment. It records how the patient feels about the result, what you observed, the outcome as you record it, and anything agreed as follow-up. It can set the next review date.

Before you start

  • The patient needs at least one treatment episode. Until then the Review button is greyed with the hint A review follows a treatment episode.
  • You need the consult capability for Aura.

Steps

  1. Open the patient's Aesthetics (Aura) tab. In Episodes, click Review.
  2. Choose the Practitioner. Under Treatment reviewed, pick the treatment this review is for. Click Open. The workspace opens on the Review stage.
  3. The Treatment reviewed card lists what was given at that treatment: product, quantity and lot.
  4. Write up the review in the four boxes: Patient reports, Clinical observations, Outcome and Follow-up. Each box saves when you leave it.
  5. For photographs, switch to the Capture stage. Stage defaults to Review. Choose a View and click Add photographs. Tick Show every Aura photograph on this record to compare with earlier views.
  6. Back on the Review stage, set Next review in to a number of weeks, or leave it at 0 for none.
  7. Click Close review and write to the record.

What happens next

  • The review shows as completed with Next review due and the date, if you set one.
  • Maxillo writes an unsigned clinical note containing the review. Sign it in Clinical notes.
  • On the treatment episode, the Review stage lists Reviews of this episode, so anyone opening the treatment can find the review.
  • If a top-up recall was set when the treatment was recorded, it remains on the treatment episode as Top-up review.

Common problems

  • The Review button is greyed out — there is no treatment episode yet, or you lack the consult capability.
  • Open is greyed out — you have not chosen a treatment under Treatment reviewed.
  • The close button is greyed out — hover over it. Write the review up first means every box is empty; Save your changes first means you have unsaved text.
  • The wrong treatment was chosen — click Cancel episode, give a reason, and open a new review against the right treatment.
