How Much is Microneedling?

If you are looking for a way to rejuvenate your skin, microneedling can help. This treatment gives you firmer, brighter skin with minimal downtime, whether it’s signs of aging, sun damage, or acne scars. 

How Much Does Microneedling Cost?

Microneedling costs depend on the type of treatment you choose. The average cost for one treatment is $650. For RF microneedling, the prices range from $800-$1,800. 86% of people on RealSelf say it is worth the cost. 

The pricing depends on your skincare provider’s skill level, the area you live in, and any add-on treatments you may add to support the process. Most microneedling treatments follow a plan for three to six sessions for optimal results. Since microneedling treats the skin by stimulating the skin’s collagen production, maintenance visits are needed between every six months to once a year.

 

What is Secret RF™ Microneedling?

Alamo Ranch Laser Aesthetics provides a unique treatment known as Secret RF™ microneedling. This treatment goes beyond typical microneedling, which only promotes collagen production in the skin. Secret RF™ uses fractional radiofrequency energy to work deeper in the skin, giving more dramatic improvements. This treatment is well-known for improving skin tone, texture, and fitness. 

How Does Secret RF™ Microneedling Work?

As with all microneedling, tiny needles penetrate a few millimeters into the skin. Microneedling does not feel like a shot but more like a tingling sensation. The microneedling triggers the skin’s natural healing response and stimulates the skin cells to produce elastin and collagen, proteins vital to skin firmness and elasticity. 

Secret RF™ emits RF energy into the subdermal layers, transforming it into heat under the skin. The RF energy causes more collagen production in the deeper levels. The precise control over the RF energy allows for more detailed microneedling and more dramatic results in skin rejuvenation.

Does Microneedling Hurt?

Microneedling does not hurt. The needles are tiny and only enter a few millimeters into the skin. The numbing cream provided by Alamo Ranch Laser Aesthetics keeps most people comfortable during the entire session. The only thing that most people feel during the session is heat and mild tingling. 

How Long is the Downtime With Microneedling?

At Alamo Ranch Laser Aesthetics, the microneedling session lasts around 20 minutes. Immediately after, you can return to your daily routine. The skin may be sensitive and red for a couple of hours after the session, but avoid the sun and use sunscreen while your skin heals.

You will notice the effects of collagen production four to six weeks after your first session. Most people require three or more treatments spaced a month apart. For the best results, make sure you follow the aftercare procedure provided. 

Am I a Good Candidate for Microneedling?

Most people are great candidates for microneedling. Microneedling works on any skin tone. If you have concerns about signs of aging, loosening skin, or uneven skin tone, microneedling provides excellent treatment. If you have a skin condition or an infection in the treatment area, you may need to wait for this to resolve before scheduling a microneedling appointment.
