The honest before-and-after is the score delta, not the photo. 5 to 15 composite points over 6 months is realistic.

The looksmaxxing before-and-after content you see on social media is mostly theater. Side-by-side photos with different lighting, different angles, different camera lenses, different facial expressions, sometimes different stages of fat-loss compounded across years. The apparent transformation is real, but most of it is the photo conditions, not the underlying face score moving.
The honest before-and-after is the score delta over a 4-week, 8-week, or 12-week window with the same scoring methodology and consistent photo conditions. Most users who execute on a soft-tissue-first protocol move 5 to 12 composite points over 90 days. Bigger moves (12 to 20 points) usually combine one structural change (significant body fat percentage drop) on top of the soft-tissue base. Moves above 20 points in 90 days typically involve some combination of weight change, dental work, or full styling overhaul.
The 28-day rescan cadence is the right one because daily water retention, sleep variance, and skin oil production produce day-to-day noise that masks the underlying trend. Rescanning every 4 weeks averages across the noise; rescanning daily is worse than rescanning monthly because you will mistake noise for progress.
Skincare routine, daily SPF, sleep at consistent hours, adequate hydration. Skin-texture and skin-tone proxy metrics move within a single 4-week cycle. Typical delta: 2 to 4 composite points.
Brow shape, brow density, hair line, hair length and styling. Reframes the upper face. Typical delta: 1 to 3 composite points on top of the skin base.
Modest body fat percentage drop unmasks the underlying jaw geometry. Cheekbone projection becomes visible. Typical delta: 2 to 5 composite points on top of the previous cycles.
Posture work undoes the forward-head compression in profile shots; deliberate Duchenne-smile practice raises the photographed expression score. Typical delta: 1 to 3 composite points.
Lighting, angle, lens, and styling. The face has not changed; the conditions under which it is photographed have. Typical delta on the composite score: 2 to 4 points, with much larger delta on the apparent presentation.
Rescan and identify the metric that did not move. The drag metric in cycle 6 is the candidate for the next 90-day arc. Most users converge to a stable score in the 6 to 9 cycle range.
Three reasons. One: before-and-after photos of real users carry consent and privacy risk we do not want to take, even with permission. Two: photos of unverified strangers do not actually demonstrate anything because lighting, angle, makeup, styling, and even camera choice can produce a dramatic apparent change with zero underlying score movement. Three: the score is the honest measurement. A composite moving from 62 to 71 over 90 days is a real signal; a side-by-side photo is mostly theater.
The 28-day rescan cadence with the same scoring methodology and consistent photo conditions is the honest before-and-after. The composite delta is the headline; the per-metric delta is the story. You can see which specific metric the protocol moved and which it did not, which is the actionable read for the next 4-week cycle.
The honest before-and-after is the score delta, not the photo.
