Microneedling cost ranges vary depending on the dermatologist or plastic surgeon you’re seeing and the extent of the procedure you’re undergoing. If you plan to undergo several microneedling sessions in New Jersey, the cost will naturally be higher. For a more extensive procedure with additional elements or procedures added on, it may also be more.
Ultimately, we advise patients to come in for a consultation appointment where you can meet with Dr. Smita and go over the extent of your needs and goals. From there, we can connect you with an accurate estimate.
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a form of collagen induction therapy. It is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses very thin, tiny needles to slightly damage the upper layers of skin. This causes your body to produce more collagen in order to soothe and repair these areas. Your levels of elastin production will also go up after microneedling.
Both collagen and elastic help to repair common skin concerns such as acne, acne scars, skin discoloration, sun damage, large pores, wrinkles, and more. After you have this treatment performed, during the healing process, you’ll have some redness and inflammation. You may also have a bit of soreness, much like the feeling of having a sunburn. Over the following weeks, the skin responds below the surface by healing discoloration, signs of aging, etc. and treating acne scars and other damage.
How Much Does Microneedling Cost?
Numerous factors influence microneedling costs. For the most part, your final price will depend on the following:
Who performs your microneedling procedure
What type of experience do they have and for how long have they been practicing microneedling? Are they in high demand? Where (geographically) is their practice located?
This will all influence the cost of your microneedling procedure.
Optional add-ons
Radio frequency, platelet rich plasma (PRP) therapy, laser treatment, and other special treatments can all be combined or added on to microneedling procedures. Additionally, if you have special circumstances such as skin sensitivity, this may increase the price in some cases.
How large the treatment area is
Together with your surgeon or clinician, you will come up with a treatment plan for the target area you wish you improve. The size of this area will influence the overall cost of your procedure, with larger areas and/or multiple areas on the body increasing costs.
Overall number of microneedling sessions
Each microneedling session will come with its own bill. If you require several sessions, you will be charged individually for each one in most cases.
Maintenance treatments
To make microneedling worth it longterm, you’ll provably need followup maintenance treatments. Over time, the cost of these procedures can add up as well.

What is RF microneedling?
RF microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses radio frequency combined with microneedling to treat common skin conditions such as large pores, lines and wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks, and more.
In addition to promoting collagen and elastin production, RF microneedling also tightens the skin and may indeed produce even more collagen than microneedling treatments alone (without radio frequency).
How much does RF microneedling cost?
RF (radio frequency) microneedling tends to cost more than traditional microneedling. This is due to the fact that RF microneedling treatments are catered to the individual and use advanced cutting-edge technology.

How many treatment sessions will I need for microneedling?
For some patients, a single microneedling treatment can achieve substantial results. For others, multiple treatment sessions up front are needed to actually treat scars that are deeper, resurface significant damage, and make lasting changes.
Who is a good candidate for microneedling?
The best candidates for microneedling are patients who have acne or acne scarring, crepey skin, wrinkles, large pores, stretch marks, sun damage, age spots, or other skin concerns they would like to get rid of. You should be a non-smoker in good physical health.
