How often should you have microneedling?
This is one of the most common questions we're asked, and the honest answer is that it depends on your skin, which is exactly what a consultation is for. That said, there's a general pattern most treatment plans follow, and it's worth understanding before you book.
Why spacing matters
Microneedling works by triggering the skin's own repair process, as we cover in what microneedling actually does. That process takes time. The skin needs several weeks to move through its healing and remodelling phases before it's ready for another round of controlled stimulation. Treating too frequently doesn't speed up results, it just doesn't give the skin the chance to do the work the previous session started.
For most clients, sessions are spaced around four weeks apart. That interval gives the skin enough time to complete its repair cycle while keeping momentum in the treatment plan.
How many sessions make up a course
Results from microneedling build cumulatively rather than appearing after a single session, which is why we recommend courses rather than one-off treatments, covered in more detail in why courses work better than one-off sessions. A course at Level 7 is typically three sessions, spaced around four weeks apart, with a fourth session included as part of the course.
What happens after the initial course
Once an initial course is complete, some clients move to a maintenance schedule, spacing sessions further apart to sustain results, while others build in a new course focused on a different concern. This is reviewed at each stage rather than fixed in advance, since skin changes with the seasons, stress, sleep, and hormonal shifts, so what your skin needs six months from now may look different to what it needs today.
The short version
As a general guide, expect sessions roughly four weeks apart, an initial course of three to four sessions, and a review of your plan from there. But the honest starting point is always a consultation, since frequency is one of the things it's built to establish.

Every treatment plan at Level 7 begins with a conversation.
Your complimentary 20 minute consultation gives us time to understand your skin in detail, its history, its current condition, and your goals. From there, we build a personalised treatment plan and protocol, structured around your skin and how it responds over time.
This is not a sales appointment. It is the clinical foundation for everything that follows.
