How Often Should You Get a Clinical Facial

More Than Just a Glow – Facials That Treat, Prevent, and Transform

In today’s fast-paced lifestyle, your skin is exposed to stress, pollution, sun, and digital strain — all of which accelerate ageing, dullness, acne, and sensitivity. A facial isn’t a luxury anymore — it’s a clinical necessity.

At The Eterne Clinic, Powai, we offer over 25 types of advanced clinical facials, each designed for specific skin goals — whether that’s treating acne, lifting sagging skin, managing pigmentation, or simply achieving that radiant, red-carpet glow.

But the question many patients ask is: How often should I get a clinical facial? The answer depends entirely on your skin type, lifestyle, age, and current concerns. Let’s break it down.

What is a Clinical Facial – And How Is It Different From a Salon Facial?

A clinical facial is a dermatologist-designed, evidence-based treatment that goes beyond pampering. It:

• Uses medical-grade ingredients and machines
• Is performed under medical supervision
• Targets specific concerns like pigmentation, acne, sensitivity, ageing, or texture
• Involves no fluff – just functional, skin-enhancing results

Unlike salon facials, which may rely on generic products and massage routines, clinical facials are structured protocols tailored to your skin’s biology.

How Often Should You Get a Clinical Facial?

For General Skin Maintenance

Every 4 to 6 weeks This allows your skin to complete one full cell turnover cycle. Regular facials maintain hydration, keep pores clean, and give your skin a consistent glow.

For Acne-Prone or Congested Skin

Every 2 to 3 weeks initially, then taper to monthly Treatments like our Metglam Facial, Elite Radianz Facial, Light-Pod Facial, or Clarifying carbon Facial help clear active breakouts and prevent future flare-ups.

For Ageing or Mature Skin

Every 3 to 4 weeks, We recommend firming and rejuvenating facials such as:

• Iluma-sculpt Facial
• Met-glam Iron-Lift Facial
• Collagen Factory Facial
• Face Gym Facial

These work best when done regularly to give glow, boost collagen, reduce sagging, and maintain skin elasticity.

For Pigmentation or Uneven Tone

Every 3 weeks, paired with pigment-correcting serums and sun protection

Our Classic Radianz Facial, Rewake Facial, Pure-Oxy-Awakening Facial, and Cinderella Pumpkin Peel Facial work gradually to reduce melanin overproduction and prevent new pigmentation.

For Brides, Grooms & Event-Based Prep

Start at least 2–3 months prior to the event

We customize a facial plan that includes glow boosters, hydration therapies, and anti-fatigue facials spaced every 2 weeks.

At The Eterne Clinic: Over 25 Facials Tailored to You

No two skins are alike. That’s why our facials aren’t pre-fixed — they’re prescribed based on consultation, not guesswork.

Whether your goal is radiant skin, acne-free complexion, age reversal, or even pre-laser skin prep, we have a customized clinical facial for you.

How We Decide the Right Facial Frequency For You

Your facial schedule depends on:

• Skin type (oily, dry, sensitive, combination)
• Current issues (acne, pigmentation, ageing)
• Your goals (maintenance vs transformation)
• Your routine (sun exposure, travel, makeup usage)
• Budget and availability

At your first visit, we conduct a skin analysis and build a personalized facial calendar and a skin-care routine just for you.

Signs You’re Overdoing or Underdoing Facials

Too Frequent Facials?

Redness, skin thinning, broken capillaries, and barrier damage are signs you need to reduce frequency or switch protocols.

Too Infrequent?

Your skin looks dull, pores feel clogged, products stop working — a sign your skin isn’t being professionally reset often enough.

Balance is key. Trust your skin with professionals who understand how to support it, not stress it.
