What is the recommended interval for adjusting a client’s treatment regimen during the initial stages?

In the initial stages of a client’s treatment regimen, the recommended interval for adjustments is typically once every two weeks. This timeframe allows enough opportunity to observe how the client is responding to the treatment and whether any improvements or side effects are occurring. Adjustments can be based on visible progress, feedback from the client, and specific indicators of how well the regimen is working. This two-week interval strikes a balance between providing adequate time for products to take effect and ensuring that any necessary changes can be made in a timely manner.

This approach helps ensure the treatment is effective and tailored to the client’s needs. It also aligns with the common practices in skin care protocols where frequent adjustments may overwhelm the client or lead to confusion, whereas too infrequent checks could cause delays in reaching the desired outcomes.
