The first thing people notice about you is often your face. If you want to leave a good impression, then you’re probably a little anxious about any scarring, uneven texture, hyperpigmentation or sun damage. If you are, then microneedling, a treatment that fixes all these blemishes, might be for you. Keep reading to learn whether about the cost of microneedling in Vienna, VA.

How Microneedling Works

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body and it’s responsible for the smooth, firm, bright skin we associate with youth and beauty. However, collagen production slows with age. This is why our skin loses tension as we grow older. Microneedling creates tiny injuries in the skin so the body’s natural healing process creates new skin cells and produces collagen. This tightens the skin and replaces damaged or stretched skin with new cells.

What Is The Cost Of Microneedling?

The price of microneedling depends on various factors. For example, the size of the treatment area, the experience of the provider, and the severity of the skin problems being addressed. Depending on your location and doctor, prices can range from $100 to $700 per session, though the average is $300 per session. Treatments that enhance and support microneedling could be added and might contribute to the overall cost. While there are cheaper, DIY microneedling options, the results are not as long-lasting or corrective as professional treatments, so it’s better to stick with professional treatments.

Microneedling Results And Downtime

Microneedling results are often immediate. You’ll leave your first session with a softer feeling and tighter-looking skin. Then, your body will begin healing the micro-injuries and replacing the damaged skin cells with new cells. You will continue to notice skin improvements over time. The fresh collagen will last a while, so your results could be visible for a year or more. There is little downtime associated with microneedling. Some side effects could include skin sensitivity, bruising for deeper treatments, and redness and swelling hours following the treatment.
