A successful Crisalix simulation follows a structured workflow, from creating the patient's 3D model to refining, presenting, and sharing the final result. While some steps may vary depending on the procedure being simulated, the overall process remains the same.

1. If applicable, create a new patient.
   See How to add a new patient.
2. Take the required photos according to the area to be simulated.
   See Taking and uploading photos to create a 3D model.
3. Take the requested anatomical measurement (interpupillary distance, nipple-to-nipple distance, or hip circumference) to ensure accurate 3D creation.
4. Upload the photos and select Create 3D.
5. Select the procedure or procedures the patient is interested in.
6. Review the generated 3D model and accept it once you are satisfied with the result.
7. Perform an initial anatomical assessment before starting the simulation.
   See Pre-assessing the patient before simulating the procedure.
8. Simulate the desired procedures.
   See the dedicated articles for each procedure.

   You can simulate multiple procedures within the same simulation.

    
9. If necessary, refine the result using additional tools such as Refinement Lines, Freehand, Clone Skin, Scars, or the available skin tools.
10. Rotate, zoom, and inspect the simulated result from different perspectives.
11. Compare the Before and After models using the available comparison tools.
    See How to compare the Before and After using the progressive transition tool.
12. If the changes are subtle, use the Analysis menu to display measurements, volume information, or measurement differences that help explain the results.
13. Save the simulation for future reference or further editing.
14. Share the simulation with the patient through the Patient App so they can review it after the consultation.
15. Generate a personalized PDF report summarizing the consultation and treatment proposal.
    See How to create a consultation or quotation PDF file.
