How often should I actually be getting a facial?
And the honest answer is there’s no one-size-fits-all rule.
Your skin isn’t static. It changes with the seasons, your stress levels, hormones, lifestyle, and even the treatments you choose. The goal isn’t to get facials as often as possible, it’s to get them at the right time, in the right way.
Let’s make this simple and realistic.
Why Facial Timing Matters More Than You Think
Your skin naturally renews itself about every 28–30 days. Professional facials work best when they support this cycle, not fight against it.
When facials are spaced properly, they help:
- Keep skin balanced and hydrated
- Prevent buildup that causes dullness and congestion
- Improve how your skincare products perform
- Address concerns before they become bigger problems
- Too often, the skin can become irritated. Too far apart, and you lose momentum.
Intro Classic Facial – About Once a Month
This is the “maintenance facial”, perfect if you’re new to facials or just want to keep your skin healthy.
A classic facial focuses on cleansing, gentle exfoliation, hydration, and relaxation.
Why monthly works:
It aligns perfectly with your skin’s natural renewal cycle and keeps things balanced.
Great for:
All skin types
Ongoing skin maintenance
Stress relief with skin benefits
Dermaplaning – Every 4 to 6 Weeks
Dermaplaning is a gentle exfoliation that removes dead skin and peach fuzz, leaving skin incredibly smooth.
Because it removes the surface layer of dead skin, spacing matters.
Why 4–6 weeks is ideal:
Your skin needs time to regenerate fully before the next session.
Great for:
Dry or dull skin
Rough texture
Better makeup application
OxyGeneo – About Once a Month
OxyGeneo is a non-invasive facial that exfoliates, infuses nutrients, and boosts oxygen from within — all without downtime.
Why monthly works best:
Consistent treatments help maintain hydration, glow, and overall skin health.
Great for:
Dehydrated or sensitive skin
Dull, tired-looking skin
People with busy schedules
Microneedling – Every 4 to 6 Weeks (In a Series)
Microneedling is different. It’s a results-driven treatment that stimulates collagen and skin repair.
Because your skin is actively rebuilding after each session, spacing is essential.
Why waiting matters:
Your skin needs time to heal and produce collagen for real, lasting results.
Great for:
Fine lines
Acne scars
Texture and pigmentation concerns
Can You Get Facials Too Often?
Yes — and it’s more common than people think.
Overdoing treatments can lead to:
- Sensitivity
- Redness or irritation
- A weakened skin barrier
That’s why professional guidance is important. The right facial at the wrong time won’t give the results you’re looking for.
A Simple Way to Think About Facial Frequency
- Maintenance & hydration facials: about once a month
- Exfoliating treatments: every 4–6 weeks
- Advanced treatments: spaced carefully, usually in a series
Consistency always beats intensity.
Final Thoughts
Facials aren’t about quick fixes; they’re about building healthy skin over time.
When you choose the right treatment and give your skin the time it needs to respond, you’ll notice:
Better texture
More balanced hydration
A natural, healthy glow
Think of facials as part of your long-term self-care routine, not something you rush or overdo.
Healthy skin is about rhythm, not pressure.
