How Much Does Microneedling Cost?

Microneedling has become one of the most versatile and results-driven treatments in modern aesthetics. From improving skin texture and tone to minimizing scarring and boosting collagen, it’s no wonder more clients are turning to microneedling to meet their skincare goals.

But one of the most common questions we hear is: How much does microneedling cost? Let's break it down.

What’s the Average Cost of Microneedling?

Across the U.S., microneedling treatments typically range from $200 to $800 per session, depending on a few key factors. In some cases — especially when using advanced technology like RF microneedling — prices can reach $1,000 to $1,500 per treatment.

At SBL Skin Studio, we offer competitive, transparent pricing and tailor every treatment to your skin goals. Our microneedling sessions are performed by licensed professionals using FDA-cleared devices for safe, effective results.

What Influences the Price of Microneedling?

A few things affect how much you'll pay:

  • Location: Treatments in major metro areas like Boston often cost more due to higher operational costs.

  • Technology: Standard microneedling is more affordable than radiofrequency (RF) microneedling, which delivers deeper, targeted rejuvenation.

  • Provider expertise: You’re not just paying for the treatment — you're investing in professional skill, safety, and proven results.

While microneedling is generally not covered by insurance, exceptions may exist if it’s deemed medically necessary. Always check your individual plan for details.

What’s the Difference Between Microneedling and Microdermabrasion?

Microneedling uses ultra-fine needles to create microchannels in the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production deep beneath the surface.
Microdermabrasion, on the other hand, is a superficial exfoliation technique that removes only the top layer of skin.

If you're looking for longer-lasting results and deeper skin rejuvenation, microneedling is the better option.

What Are the Benefits of Microneedling?

Microneedling is a game-changer when it comes to skin transformation. It helps:

  • Boost collagen and elastin for firmer, more youthful skin

  • Improve the appearance of acne scars and stretch marks

  • Smooth fine lines and wrinkles

  • Even out skin texture and tone

  • Reduce the appearance of large pores

  • Address hyperpigmentation and age spots

  • Support healthy cell turnover and blood flow

Can Microneedling Be Used on the Body?

Absolutely. While it’s most commonly used on the face, microneedling is also effective on:

Arms and Legs : Treat stretch marks, rough texture, or KP (Keratosis Pilaris) for smoother, firmer skin.

Stomach : Target loose skin or post-pregnancy stretch marks and help restore skin’s natural elasticity.

Chest, Neck, and Back : Address sun damage, fine lines, or acne scarring in often-overlooked areas.

Is Microneedling Worth It?

Yes — especially when performed by a trusted provider using advanced techniques. While costs vary, microneedling offers a powerful, non-surgical way to rejuvenate the skin from the inside out, with visible improvements in tone, texture, and elasticity.
