Do You Have to Keep Getting Laser Treatments Forever?

It’s a question we hear often from new clients:

“If I start laser, do I have to keep doing it forever?”

It’s a valid concern — no one wants to feel locked into endless treatments.

But the truth is a lot more flexible than most people think.

Here’s what you actually need to know.

Laser Treatments Can Offer Long-Term Improvements

At Platinum Cosmetics, we use Fotona laser — a non-invasive system designed to:

  • Stimulate collagen production

  • Improve skin tone and texture

  • Soften fine lines and tighten laxity

  • Reduce pigmentation and redness

The changes it triggers in your skin — especially around collagen stimulation — are real, gradual, and can last for months or longer.

So no, it’s not a lifetime commitment. But…

Your Skin Keeps Ageing — and That’s Normal

Laser treatments don’t “freeze” the ageing process. As time goes on:

  • Collagen naturally declines

  • Environmental exposure continues

  • Skin renewal slows down

That’s why maintenance treatments are often recommended — not because your results disappear, but because your skin keeps changing.

Think of it like going to the gym: results build over time, and occasional upkeep keeps things on track.

What We Recommend for Most Clients

For treatments like Fotona SmoothEye or Fotona LipLase, we usually suggest:

  • A course of 3–6 initial sessions, spaced 3–4 weeks apart

  • Then maintenance every 3–6 months, depending on your skin goals

Every plan is different. Some clients pop in once a year for a refresh — others prefer more regular support as part of their skincare routine.

You’re Always in Control

We’ll never pressure you into more treatments than you need. During your consultation, we’ll outline:

  • What’s realistic based on your goals

  • How your skin is likely to respond

  • What kind of schedule makes sense for your lifestyle and budget

No hype. No pressure. Just honest, individualised care.
