Microneedling

What is micro Needling? Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that’s used to treat skin concerns via collagen production. Also known as collagen induction therapy, this treatment may help those looking to reduce the appearance of acne scars and stretch marks. It’s also used in certain anti-aging procedures, such as eyelid surgery and sun spots. Microneedling isn’t effective for hair loss, despite the possible role of collagen in hair growth.

You may be an ideal candidate for this procedure if you’re in good health and have certain skin concerns that haven’t responded to home treatments or other types of dermatologic procedures, such as peels. This may also be a final step before considering cosmetic surgery for anti-aging and other concerns. Learn more about microneedling and talk to your dermatologist to see if this is the right option for your skin. How much does microneedling cost?

According to estimates by Dermapen, microneedling costs from $100 to $700 per session. Most facial treatments run around $300 each session. Since microneedling is considered a cosmetic or aesthetic procedure, it’s not covered by insurance. Your doctor may be able to help you afford your treatments better by structuring a payment plan for you. Some offices even offer financing. You’ll want to consider all the cumulative costs before committing to the procedure so you won’t have any surprise bills.

If you decide to take time off work, you may also need to consider ways to off-set any lost worktime hours. However, most people are able to go back to work or school right away.
