How Often Should I Get Skin Treatments?

One of the most common questions we hear at Platinum Cosmetics is: “How often should I come in?”

The answer depends on your skin goals, the treatments you’re having, and how your skin responds. But having a clear, realistic plan can make all the difference when it comes to achieving long-term results.

Here’s what to consider when building a treatment routine — and how we guide our clients through the process.

There’s No One-Size-Fits-All Schedule

Your skin is unique, and so is the way it responds to professional treatments. Factors like age, lifestyle, existing skin conditions, and your at-home routine all influence how often you should come in.

Some treatments are best done weekly or fortnightly for a set period, while others require monthly maintenance or even annual top-ups.

That’s why we always start with a personalised consultation. You can book a consultation with our team to create your own treatment plan.

How to Know If You’re Over-Treating

Sometimes, more isn’t better. If your skin is showing signs of irritation, thinning, sensitivity, or inflammation, it may be a sign that your treatment or product routine needs to slow down.

We’ll always be honest about what your skin actually needs — and when it needs a break.
