Didn't work? Quick fixes
Doesn't look like you: add "Do not change the shape of the face, nose, eyes or jaw" and upload a sharper photo.
Too airbrushed: add "realistic skin texture, natural pores, no retouching."
Wrong age: add "keep the person's real age."
Tool refuses: make sure the photo is of you and clearly a real adult, and try a different tool.
Weird hands or coat logos: add "no text or logos, hands out of frame."
Use them honestly
AI headshots are great for consistency and convenience. Keep them true to life so patients recognize you, and don't use them to change how you look. Some platforms and boards may have rules about edited photos, so check before using them in ads.
