Introduction: Can facials be done weekly?
Have you ever wondered if getting a facial every week is too much for your skin?
As aesthetic professionals with over two decades of combined experience at Wellaholic and Laser Clinics Australia, we’ve seen both the benefits and potential drawbacks of frequent facial treatments. At our clinics, we often hear this question from customers eager to maintain their skin’s glow.
Through our work with thousands of customers across different skin types and concerns, we’ve developed a clear understanding of how often facials should be performed for optimal results. Let us share our professional insights on facial frequency and help you determine the right schedule for your skincare needs.
Why should you have a weekly facial?
At Wellaholic, we see how weekly facials make a big difference in skin health. A weekly facial gives your skin a fresh start by removing dirt, oil, and city pollution that builds up over time. We notice that our customers who come in for weekly treatments enjoy clearer skin, better hydration, and less puffiness in their face. Plus, these regular sessions help us spot and fix small skin issues before they become bigger problems. Think of it as a weekly check-up for your skin’s health.
The best part about weekly facials is that they’re a perfect way to take care of yourself. We love seeing how our customers use this time to relax and unwind. During busy weeks, these sessions become their special ‘me-time’ away from phones and daily stress. While some might think weekly facials are too much, we’ve found that gentle treatments focused on cleansing and hydration work well for most skin types. At our outlets, we always adjust the treatment to match each person’s skin needs, making sure it’s both safe and effective.
Dr. Rachel Nazarian, a board-certified dermatologist in New York City, says that getting a weekly facial can be beneficial for many people. “Facials can help to deep clean the skin, remove dead skin cells, and unclog pores,” she says. “They can also help to improve hydration, reduce inflammation, and stimulate collagen production.”
Monthly Facials are Common: Based on a 2023 study by Wellaholic, on average, many people opt for a facial treatment once a month. This frequency allows the skin to complete its natural renewal cycle, which typically takes about 28 days.
Why should you not have a weekly facial?
At Wellaholic, we often see customers who want weekly facials, thinking more treatments mean better skin. Through our years of experience, we know this isn’t true. Weekly facials can damage your skin barrier and cause unwanted issues like redness, dry patches, and breakouts. Your skin needs time to heal and regenerate on its own. We see this with our customers who come too often – their skin becomes sensitive and irritated rather than healthy and glowing.
We recommend spacing out your facials every 3-4 weeks. This timing matches your skin’s natural renewal cycle. Many of our customers at Wellaholic who switched from weekly to monthly facials see much better results. Their skin looks clearer and feels healthier. Plus, they save money while getting better outcomes. For those with specific skin concerns like acne or oily skin, we might suggest treatments every two weeks at first, then space them out once the skin improves.
What’s the Recommended Frequency for a Facial Then?
At Wellaholic, we often get asked how often someone should get a facial. Based on our experience treating thousands of customers, we recommend getting a facial every 4 to 6 weeks. This timing matches your skin’s natural renewal cycle, which takes about 40 days. For customers with specific skin issues like acne or oily skin, we might suggest more frequent visits – every 2 to 3 weeks until their skin improves.
Your skin type and concerns help us decide the best schedule for you. For example, many of our customers at Wellaholic with dry or sensitive skin do well with monthly facials to keep their skin hydrated. Those with oily or acne-prone skin often see better results with more frequent treatments at first, then moving to a monthly maintenance plan once their skin clears up. We always adjust these recommendations based on how your skin responds to treatments.
Facial Treatment Frequency in Singapore: A survey by Wellaholic revealed that, in 2023, approximately 27% of respondents in Singapore underwent facial treatments at least once every two months.
Conclusion
As experienced aesthetic professionals, we understand the importance of finding the right balance when it comes to facial treatments. Through our work with countless customers at Wellaholic, we’ve seen that while regular facials are beneficial, moderation is key. The optimal frequency for facials is typically every 4-6 weeks, aligning with your skin’s natural renewal cycle[1]. This timing allows your skin to maintain its health while preventing potential damage from over-treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I combine my weekly facial with other skincare treatments?
We often see customers at Wellaholic wanting to maximize their skincare results. While facials can work well with other treatments, timing is crucial. We recommend spacing out intensive treatments like chemical peels or microdermabrasion by at least 1-2 weeks. For gentler treatments like LED therapy or hydrating masks, these can be done between facial sessions. The key is listening to your skin and avoiding over-treatment.
How do I know if I’m getting too many facials?
Through our experience at Wellaholic, we’ve noticed clear signs of over-treatment. Watch for increased sensitivity, persistent redness, breakouts in unusual areas, or a tight, shiny skin texture. If you experience these symptoms, it’s time to reduce your facial frequency. Most skin types benefit from spacing treatments 4-6 weeks apart, allowing proper healing and regeneration time.
What’s the difference between a weekly home facial and a professional facial?
Professional facials at Wellaholic offer deeper cleansing and more advanced treatments than home care can provide. While weekly home facials using gentle products can maintain skin health, they can’t replace the benefits of professional extraction, specialized equipment, and expert technique. We recommend combining monthly professional facials with a consistent home care routine.
Will weekly facials help clear up my acne faster?
Based on our experience treating acne-prone customers at Wellaholic, more frequent treatments aren’t always better. While some may benefit from bi-weekly facials initially, weekly treatments can irritate acne and slow healing. We typically recommend starting with treatments every 2-3 weeks, then adjusting based on your skin’s response.
How should I care for my skin between facial appointments?
Proper home care between facials is essential for maintaining results. We advise our Wellaholic customers to use gentle cleansers, maintain consistent sunscreen use, and avoid harsh exfoliants for 48 hours after treatment. Your skin needs time to benefit from the facial’s effects, so keep your routine simple and hydrating between sessions.
Are there any seasons when I should adjust my facial frequency?
From treating customers in Singapore’s climate, we’ve learned that facial frequency often needs seasonal adjustment. During more humid months, some customers benefit from more frequent oil-control treatments, while the drier months might require focus on hydration. We typically recommend reviewing and adjusting your facial schedule quarterly based on your skin’s changing needs.
