What is Microneedling?
Microneedling uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, triggering collagen and elastin production. It is used to improve skin texture, acne scars, fine lines, pore size, and overall tone.
Treatment takes 30 to 60 minutes. Most providers apply topical numbing cream 20 to 30 minutes before the session. You will see initial radiance within a week, with continued improvement over 4 to 6 weeks as new collagen forms. Most patients book a series of 3 to 6 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.
RF (radiofrequency) microneedling — sold under brand names like Morpheus8, Vivace, or Genius — combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy for stronger tightening results. RF microneedling typically costs more per session.
How much does Microneedling cost in Chicago?
A single microneedling session in Chicago typically costs $360 to $840. RF microneedling (Morpheus8, Vivace) runs higher. Most patients book a package of 3 to 6 sessions for full results.

What to ask your provider
- Do you offer standard microneedling, RF microneedling, or both? Which do you recommend for my skin?
- How many sessions will I need, and what does the package price look like?
- Who is performing the treatment — a licensed esthetician, RN, or physician?
- What numbing protocol do you use before treatment?
- What is recovery like? How many days of redness should I plan for?
- Do you pair microneedling with PRP or serums? What is the cost difference?
Frequently asked questions
How much does microneedling cost in Chicago?
A single microneedling session in Chicago typically costs $300 to $700. RF microneedling (Morpheus8, Vivace) runs $800 to $1,500 per session. Package pricing for 3 to 6 sessions is usually more affordable than paying per visit.
How many microneedling sessions do I need?
Most patients need 3 to 6 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart for full results. Acne scarring usually requires more sessions than texture or fine-line treatments. Your provider should recommend a specific number based on your goals.
Does microneedling hurt?
Topical numbing cream is applied 20 to 30 minutes before treatment, so most patients tolerate microneedling well. You will feel a scratchy or vibrating sensation but not sharp pain. Redness and mild sensitivity last 1 to 3 days afterward.
What is the difference between microneedling and RF microneedling?
RF microneedling adds radiofrequency energy to the needle tips, heating deeper layers of skin for stronger tightening and collagen response. It is stronger, more effective for laxity and deep scarring, and more expensive than standard microneedling.
What is microneedling recovery like?
Expect redness similar to a mild sunburn for 1 to 3 days. Most patients return to work the next day with a little makeup. Avoid retinoids, acids, and direct sun for at least 72 hours.
