You walk out of your TGS appointment glowing. Brows sitting perfectly, lashes lifted, skin looking genuinely refreshed. And then a few weeks go by and you find yourself wondering — when should I actually come back?
It's one of the most common questions I get, and the honest answer is: it depends on the treatment, your goals and where you're at in your skin or hair cycle. Here's the breakdown.
Why timing matters
Your skin, lashes and brows all follow biological rhythms — and booking around those cycles (rather than just when it occurs to you) is what separates results that last from results that fade quickly.
Skin regenerates every 28–40+ days depending on age, skin type and lifestyle. Lash and brow hairs cycle every 6–12 weeks. Book too soon and you risk over-processing. Book too late and you lose progress and end up starting from scratch.
The goal is finding a rhythm that supports your results without becoming another thing to think about.
Skin treatments
For most clients, monthly or six-weekly skin treatments hit the sweet spot — enough frequency to make ongoing progress, spaced out enough to let your skin do its own renewal work between appointments.
General guide:
- Normal or healthy skin — every 4–6 weeks
- Acne-prone or oily skin in an active correction phase — every 2–3 weeks
- Sensitive or reactive skin — every 5–8 weeks
These aren't fixed rules. Your rhythm will shift over time — most clients start in a more frequent corrective phase and move to a less frequent maintenance phase as their skin improves. That's the goal.
Things that can change your rhythm: hormonal shifts, seasonal changes (winter dryness, summer humidity), stress, travel and changes to your home routine.
The Signature Enzyme Treatment is the one I recommend most often for monthly maintenance — it's effective, gentle enough for regular use and clients consistently see cumulative improvement over time. For skin that needs deeper correction, the Skin Renewal Treatment or Flawless Complexion Treatment are better suited to a slightly less frequent schedule.
Brow lamination
Brow lamination uses a chemical restructuring process to soften and reshape each hair — and doing it too frequently weakens the hair shaft over time, leading to dryness and brittleness. The 6–8 week window isn't just a suggestion, it's what your brow hairs need to properly reset between appointments.
Brow lamination: Every 6–8 weeks
Between full laminations, the Brow Lamination Maintenance appointment keeps your shape, colour and brow health on track without relaminating before the hairs are ready. It's available from 4 weeks after your last lamination.
Brow Lamination Maintenance: Every 4–6 weeks between full laminations
If you're using the MyLamination Vitamin Lash & Brow Serum consistently at home, you'll typically find your lamination holds well for the full 8 weeks — some clients stretch to 10.
Lash lift
Same principle as brow lamination — lash hairs grow and shed in cycles, and the lifting solution needs time to fully process out before you rebook.
Lash Lift & Tint: Every 8–10 weeks
Between lifts, the Lash Conditioning Treatment adds colour and a nourishing mask to keep lashes looking healthy, glossy and defined without relifting too soon.
Lash Conditioning Treatment or Lash Tint: Every 4–5 weeks between lifts
Using the MyLamination serum daily between appointments genuinely extends your results — clients who use it consistently tend to sit comfortably at the 10-week end of the range.
Starting out vs. maintaining
It's completely normal to book more frequently at the beginning — especially if you're correcting something like pigmentation, congestion or brow damage from previous treatments. Corrective phases are more intensive. Maintenance phases are lighter and less frequent.
If you're just starting with skin treatments, don't be put off by a more frequent early schedule. It's temporary. The goal is always to get your skin to a place where it needs less, not more.
Homecare makes a bigger difference than most people realise
What happens in the studio is only part of the picture. Your home routine — the right cleanser, the right serum, the right SPF — is what maintains and extends your results between appointments. This is why every treatment at TGS ends with personalised aftercare advice, not just a "see you next time."
If you're not sure whether your home routine is supporting what we're doing in-clinic, ask at your next appointment. I'd rather spend five minutes on that than have you undoing your results without knowing.
Frequently asked questions
Do I really need to come every 4 weeks? Not necessarily — it depends on your skin goals and where you're at. Some clients come monthly, others every 6–8 weeks. We'll work out what makes sense for you.
What if I miss a few appointments? Life happens. We'll recalibrate from where you are and work out the best next step — there's no judgment and no starting from scratch.
Can I over-do treatments? Yes. Too frequent = irritation and over-processing, not better results. Stick to the recommended timing and trust the process.
Can I combine skin, brow and lash treatments in one appointment? Absolutely — the TGS packages are designed exactly for this. Less time, more done, and everything coordinated properly.
Are treatments safe during pregnancy? Many are. The Pregnancy Glow Facial is specifically designed for pregnant and postpartum clients. For brow and lash treatments during pregnancy, see the pregnancy-safe beauty guide.
What if I'm on Roaccutane or prescription skincare? Always let me know — some treatments need to be adjusted or paused depending on what you're using. Mention it when you book.
