Aesthetic Maintenance Plans: How Often Should You Re-Treat?

Posted by Michal Krupien on

Most aesthetic treatments aren’t one-and-done. Whether you're using Botox to soften lines, filler to restore volume, or peels to brighten your skin, results fade over time.

That doesn’t mean you need to constantly top up. But it does mean having a plan so you’re not chasing results or spending blindly.

At Injectual, we build personalised treatment timelines so you know:

  • When to book your next session

  • How long results typically last

  • When to combine treatments for better outcomes

  • How to budget across the year without surprises

Here’s how we break it down.

Botox: Every 3–4 Months (Depending on Area + Goals)

Longevity: 3–4 months on average

Best for: Forehead lines, frown lines, crow’s feet, jaw tension, neck bands

For younger clients or preventative use, 2–3 sessions per year is often enough. If you’re treating stronger muscle movement or want more consistent smoothing, you may prefer to stay on a 12-week cycle.

Relfydess (Long-Lasting Botox Alternative): Every 6 Months

For those looking for fewer treatments per year, Relfydess is an advanced wrinkle-relaxing injectable that lasts up to 6 months. It’s ideal if you want to maintain results with only two sessions per year, making it a convenient option for busy schedules or clients who prefer less frequent maintenance.

Dermal Fillers: 6 to 18+ Months (Depending on Area)

Longevity varies by area:

  • Lips: 6–9 months

  • Cheeks: 12–18 months

  • Chin/Jawline: Up to 2 years

  • Under-eyes: 12+ months

Fillers degrade slowly, so you won’t wake up one day and see them disappear. But regular maintenance (often a small top-up once per year) helps prevent full reversal and ensures facial balance stays intact.

Skin Boosters (Profhilo, Polynucleotides): Every 6 Months

Profhilo:

  • 2 sessions, 4 weeks apart

  • Maintenance every 6–9 months

Polynucleotides:

  • 3–4 sessions spaced out over 4–6 weeks

  • Maintenance every 6–12 months

These treatments don’t volumise—they improve hydration, texture, and elasticity, making them ideal for long-term skin health.

Chemical Peels: 4–6 Times Per Year (Depending on Skin Goals)

Peels help with:

  • Pigmentation

  • Dullness

  • Fine lines

  • Acne

We often recommend a course of 3–4 peels spaced 4 weeks apart, then maintenance peels every 2–3 months depending on skin condition.

Microneedling: 3–6 Times Per Year

Microneedling boosts collagen, improves texture, and reduces scarring or pigmentation. Most people benefit from:

  • A course of 3–6 sessions spaced a month apart, followed by

  • Maintenance every 3–6 months depending on goals

Full-Face Rejuvenation (Sculptra, Artistic Transformation): Yearly

For collagen stimulation and full facial harmonisation:

  • Sculptra: 2–3 sessions over 3 months

  • Maintenance: once every 12–18 months

  • Injectual Artistic Transformation: Reviewed annually, with minor adjustments as needed
