RF microneedling is an innovative treatment that delivers impressive skin rejuvenation, but understanding the associated RF microneedling cost is essential before you schedule your appointment. Whether you’re new to medical aesthetics or a seasoned pro exploring RF microneedling for the first time, this guide will break down what factors influence pricing and help you make informed decisions about your treatment plan.
Understanding RF Microneedling
RF microneedling promotes the body’s natural healing processes for a revitalized appearance. Just like traditional microneedling, RF microneedling creates controlled microchannels in the skin to help stimulate your body’s healing response. The treatment stimulates collagen production and addresses various skin concerns, including skin tone and texture, pore size, fine lines and wrinkles, laxity, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and even stretch marks. By combining radiofrequency energy with microneedling, RF microneedling penetrates deeper, offering more intensive collagen stimulation and effective skin tightening through the heat generated by the radiofrequency energy.
While RF microneedling is a non-surgical procedure, it works by first damaging the skin with tiny micro-injuries. Therefore, it is vital that you work with an educated and experienced provider to deliver the correct results. Working with an unskilled or reputable provider for RF microneedling can lead to serious problems from treatment, like burns, scars, indentations, and other devastating effects—including having to pay for other skin treatments to repair damage.
RF microneedling results are extremely technique-dependent, so it is important to choose a provider who has the experience to perform your treatment safely and leave your skin looking better than they found it.
Factors Affecting the Cost of RF Microneedling
RF microneedling can be for anyone but is specifically designed for individuals facing more complex skin challenges seeking a treatment that provides more dramatic, transformative results in a fewer number of sessions. It is also best suited for anyone willing to invest in a more sophisticated and targeted procedure.
Q: What factors can influence your RF microneedling cost?
- Your provider’s credentials and level of experience
- Where you get your treatment
- The size and number of treatment areas
- How many RF microneedling treatments you need
- The RF microneedling device used for your procedure
Like other medical aesthetic treatments, treatment area, size, and the physical location of your service will be a big factor in determining cost. For example, higher-priced, luxury areas in cities tend to have more expensive costs associated with aesthetic treatments. Further, your provider’s credentials and level of experience will impact cost as well.
You’ll want to be sure to book a consultation with a qualified consultant to determine how many RF microneedling treatments you may need along with which device would be the best to deliver your unique results.
Average Cost Range for RF Microneedling Treatments
On average, the RF microneedling cost is around $1,200 per treatment. That being said, the average treatment cost can range from $600-$2,400 depending on factors such as provider experience, location, and treatment area. Furthermore, there are different types of RF microneedles that can impact the cost of treatment as well.
Q: Are there additional fees or considerations when getting RF microneedling?
You may choose to add on other services alongside your RF microneedling treatments. For example, many people choose to also do PRP therapies alongside their RF microneedling treatments for total skin rejuvenation. Other services may also be nice to add on to achieve your desired results, and a consultation with a qualified provider can help you make these decisions.
Considerations When Choosing RF Microneedling
Who can legally perform RF microneedling varies from state to state, but you’ll find it offered at plastic surgery and dermatology practices, as well as medspas. If your provider is a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon with decades of experience, your RF microneedling cost will be higher than what you’d pay for treatment performed by a medical aesthetician.
Q: How can I find a reputable provider for RF microneedling treatments?
Consulting with a qualified healthcare or aesthetic professional will guarantee a more personalized recommendation based on a comprehensive assessment of your unique skin characteristics. This ensures you select the most effective treatment strategy for your individual needs.
Q: What should I expect during my first consultation for RF microneedling?
The heat settings, needle depth, and type of needle can all be customized to your skin’s specific concerns, so it’s best to be treated by someone who has the training and experience with the device and your skin type to prevent significant harm—even if that means you’ll pay more.
What to Keep in Mind: Financing Options, Payment Plans, and Special Offers
RF microneedling is considered a cosmetic treatment, so it would not be covered by insurance. Since a thorough RF microneedling treatment plan could potentially include multiple treatments, it can be costly. You might be able to find different financing options, like CareCredit, and payment plans that may be offered through your provider. Keep an eye out for special offers from your provider that may help to lower costs.
Naturally Enhance Your Skin
Unlike traditional microneedling, RF microneedling can be more precisely controlled, allowing for customized treatment depths and intensities tailored to individual skin needs. This precision makes it particularly effective for addressing more challenging skin concerns, including deeper wrinkles, more pronounced skin laxity, significant acne scarring, and stretch marks.
