How Often Should You Visit an Esthetician?
Ideally, you should visit an esthetician every four to six weeks. However, if you have a specific concern that you’d like addressed, such as acne or premature aging, then you may need to visit more frequently. Conversely, if your skin is generally healthy and you only want to maintain its current condition, visiting less often may be sufficient. Ultimately, it’s important to consult with your esthetician about what frequency of visits is best for you.

When should you see a trichologist?
You should see a trichologist if you are experiencing hair loss, scalp itching or flaking, unusual hair breakage, changes in hair texture, or any other issues specifically related to your hair or scalp that are not improving with over-the-counter treatments.
