What it is

Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin with fine needles, triggering collagen and elastin production. RF microneedling adds radiofrequency energy for added tightening.

Benefits

  • Improves acne scarring and enlarged pores
  • Smooths fine lines and uneven texture
  • Safe for most skin tones
  • Pairs well with PRP for faster healing

Cost

Across the Bay Area, microneedling runs $300–$800 per session. Peninsula cities like Palo Alto and Los Gatos sit at the upper end, while Fremont and San Jose are generally the most competitive.

Recovery

Redness resembling a sunburn for 24–48 hours, with light flaking on day three. Avoid sun exposure and active skincare for five days.

Risks

  • Temporary redness and swelling
  • Rare post-inflammatory pigmentation
  • Breakouts in acne-prone skin
