How to read a PMU removal before and after
A before-and-after compresses weeks into one frame. Between the two photos there were sessions spaced 6–8 weeks apart, with the pigment continuing to fade while the skin healed in between. The “after” is wherever that patient chose to stop, which is not always bare skin.
Removing it all, or lightening for new work
A good share of brow and lip clients want the old color softened rather than gone: enough to stop a gray or salmon cast showing through, or enough for their artist to start over cleanly. A lightening plan is usually shorter and costs less in total, and Neoderma will time it around your artist's appointment.
Why nobody can promise your result from these photos
Two tattoos that look alike on screen can behave very differently under a laser. Pigment brand and color, what was mixed into it, how deep it went and how many touch-ups were layered on top all change the count, and none of that is visible in a photo. Older, lighter work has sometimes cleared in a single visit, but no one can guarantee it. You get a transparent estimate at your consultation, adjusted as your pigment responds.
Questions about these results
Are these real Neoderma patients?
Yes. Every photo and clip on this page shows a patient treated at Neoderma in Anaheim, taken from the clinic's own website and its Instagram account, @ocskinexperts. Individual results vary.
Can you tell me how many sessions I need from a photo?
No. How deep an artist saturated the pigment doesn't show up in a picture, so the session count comes from a provider looking at your brows, liner or lips in person.
Why do some before and after photos look lit differently?
They were taken on different days, often weeks apart, in whatever light the room had. Where the lighting changed noticeably, the caption says so.
Do I have to remove all of it?
No. Plenty of people only want old pigment lightened, to correct a color that turned cool or to give a new artist a clean canvas. That plan usually means fewer sessions and a lower total than full removal.
