This is a great question, and the answer isn’t one-size-fits-all. It really depends on your skin goals, your current skin condition, and the type of treatment we’re doing.
First, Why Do These Treatments Need to Be Done in a Series?
Both laser facials and microneedling work by triggering the skin’s natural healing process. Whether we’re targeting pigmentation, acne scars, texture, or just boosting glow, we’re asking your skin to regenerate itself—and that takes time.
That’s why most people don’t see full results after just one treatment. We’re building healthier, stronger skin from the inside out—and that requires consistency.
How Often Should You Get a Laser Facial?
There are a few different types of laser facials, but in general:
Light Resurfacing Lasers:
- Ideal frequency: Every 4–6 weeks
- Maintenance: Every 3–4 months once you hit your goal
- Best for: Fine lines, texture, glow, early aging, large pores
Deeper Fractional Lasers (e.g., for acne scars):
- Ideal frequency: Every 6–8 weeks
- Fewer sessions needed, but more downtime in between
Don’t stack laser facials too close together unless advised. Your skin needs time to respond, repair, and regenerate for those results to really shine.
How Often Should You Do Microneedling?
Microneedling is one of our favorite treatments for a reason—it improves skin tone, texture, acne scars, fine lines, and even stretch marks with minimal downtime.
Standard Microneedling:
- Ideal frequency: Every 4–6 weeks
- Initial series: 3–6 sessions for best results
- Maintenance: Every 2–3 months, depending on skin concerns
When Will I See Results?
Laser and microneedling both build results over time. Most clients see:
- Improved texture and tone after 1–2 treatments
- Deeper collagen remodeling after 3–6 sessions
- Ongoing glow and smoothness with regular maintenance
Think of it like going to the gym—you wouldn’t expect a six-pack after one workout. But give your skin the consistent attention it deserves, and the transformation will happen.
Can I Combine Laser & Microneedling?
Yes, absolutely—but not at the same appointment. We often alternate treatments every 4–6 weeks to create a full-spectrum rejuvenation plan:
- Microneedling boosts collagen + smooths texture
- Laser targets pigmentation + increases radiance
We’ll space them out strategically so your skin stays balanced, supported, and never overwhelmed.
Need Help Building a Custom Treatment Schedule?
That’s what we’re here for. During your consultation at Erase & Embrace, we’ll look at:
- Your skin goals
- Your lifestyle (big events, travel, etc.)
- Your current skincare and budget
- And what treatments your skin is actually ready for
Then we’ll map out a personalized plan that fits into your life—not the other way around.
