How Often Should You Really Be Getting Skin Treatments?
Share
It’s one of the most frequently asked questions we hear at Renew – and for good reason. With so many treatments available and varying advice online, it can be difficult to know how often you should be booking in to keep your skin in top condition. The answer isn’t one-size-fits-all, but there are general guidelines depending on your skin goals, concerns, and the types of treatments you’re having.
Why Frequency Matters
Consistency is key to long-term skin health. Regular treatments can help you:
-
Maintain results
-
Prevent early signs of ageing
-
Address skin issues before they become more severe
-
Encourage cellular turnover and collagen production
Skipping too many months between treatments can undo some of the progress made, especially if your at-home skincare routine isn’t perfectly dialled in.
Monthly Maintenance: The Foundation of Good Skin
For most people, a monthly professional treatment such as a facial, gentle peel, or Microneedling therapy is ideal. This keeps the skin clean, hydrated, and in balance. Our Exocell Renewal treatment or BioRePeel are fantastic choices for ongoing care, depending on your skin type.
Targeted Treatment Plans
Some concerns require a more structured plan:
-
Microneedling: Every 4–6 weeks, for 3–6 sessions depending on your goals (e.g. acne scarring, fine lines).
-
Skin Boosters: Initial course of 2–3 sessions, spaced 3–4 weeks apart, then maintenance every 4–6 months.
-
Peels (like Neostrata 35% Glycolic or Relife): Can be done every 2–4 weeks depending on skin tolerance and needs.
-
LED Therapy: For chronic conditions like acne or rosacea, 1–2 times weekly for several weeks, then maintenance.
Anti-Wrinkle and Skin Rejuvenation
For injectables like anti-wrinkle treatments, we typically recommend:
-
Every 3–4 months for optimal results and prevention.
-
Skin boosters or polynucleotides: every 4–6 months for ongoing skin health and hydration.
At Renew, we also tailor treatment schedules based on lifestyle, stress, sun exposure, and age – because these factors heavily influence how your skin responds over time.
At-Home Skincare as a Supporting Act
The more consistent you are with your professional-grade home skincare, the better your results will be. Using products from Elementré, Heliocare, Rosalique, and MGC Derma can help extend the benefits of your in-clinic treatments and reduce the frequency needed.
Final Thoughts
Getting the timing right with your skin treatments can make all the difference. Think of it as a skin fitness routine – regular, targeted efforts give the best results. Not sure where to begin?
