Why We Don’t Do Piecemeal Care

October 28, 2025 • Robyn Spangler • Episode 37

In this episode of To The Root, Robyn Spangler addresses one of the most common questions from prospective clients: “Why can’t I just do one or two sessions?”

She explains why the Clear Skin Lab program is designed as a six-month commitment rather than a short-term or piecemeal option. Drawing on over a decade of experience, Robyn outlines the realities of chronic skin healing—including why results often don’t appear until several months in, the emotional challenges of the “Valley of Despair,” and the importance of structured support for lasting transformation.

This episode provides clarity on the values behind Clear Skin Lab’s approach, why true healing requires consistency and trust, and a gentle reminder that your skin isn’t a weekend DIY project—it deserves long-term care.
