How often should you get a facial?
Updated July 2, 2026
The right facial cadence depends on your skin type, goals, and the treatment. A monthly signature facial keeps most skin balanced. Targeted treatments (extractions, peels, laser adjuncts) run on shorter cycles. Here's how licensed CT estheticians actually build client protocols.

The rule of thumb
Maintenance skin: every 4–6 weeks. Acne-prone: every 3–4 weeks for the first 3 months, then stretch to 4–6. Post-peel or laser: as directed by your provider (usually 2–4 week gaps).
Signature vs. targeted vs. peel
Signature: cleanse, tone, exfoliate, mask, massage — every 4–6 weeks. Extractions/targeted acne: every 3–4 weeks. Chemical peels (glycolic, lactic, TCA): every 4–8 weeks depending on strength.
