How many microneedling sessions do I need?

Most patients see the best results with a series of 3-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. The number depends on your specific concerns — mild texture improvement may require 3 sessions, while deeper acne scarring may benefit from 6 or more.

Does microneedling hurt?

With proper numbing cream applied beforehand, most patients describe the sensation as a light scratching or vibrating feeling. The forehead and upper lip tend to be the most sensitive areas. Overall, the procedure is very well-tolerated and far less uncomfortable than most people expect.

What is PRP microneedling?

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) microneedling combines traditional microneedling with your own concentrated growth factors derived from a small blood draw. The PRP is applied during and after needling, enhancing the healing response and delivering additional growth factors deep into the skin. It's sometimes called a 'vampire facial.'

What is the downtime for microneedling?

Plan for 24-48 hours of redness similar to a mild sunburn. You can wear mineral makeup after 24 hours. Mild peeling may occur from days 3-5. Avoid direct sun exposure, retinols, and active skincare ingredients for 5-7 days post-treatment.

Standard microneedling at KC Med Spa Group starts at $300 per session. PRP microneedling starts at $600 per session. We offer package pricing for series of 3 or 6 treatments at a discounted rate.

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, uses a device with fine, sterile needles to create thousands of microscopic channels in the skin's surface. At KC Med Spa Group, we use the FDA-cleared SkinPen — the gold standard in professional microneedling devices — for precise, consistent results. These controlled micro-injuries trigger your body's natural wound healing process, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin. The result is improved skin texture, reduced appearance of acne scars and stretch marks, minimized pore size, and a more even skin tone. We also offer RF microneedling (radiofrequency microneedling), which combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy for enhanced skin tightening and collagen remodeling — ideal for laxity and deeper wrinkles. Additionally, microneedling for hair loss with PRP is an effective treatment for thinning hair. Standard microneedling with PRP (the 'vampire facial') combines microneedling with your own platelet-rich plasma for amplified healing and rejuvenation.

What to Expect

Pre-Treatment Prep

A topical numbing cream is applied 30 minutes before treatment to ensure your comfort. Your skin is thoroughly cleansed and prepped. If you're adding PRP, a small blood draw is taken and processed in a centrifuge.

Microneedling Session

Your provider uses the microneedling device across the treatment area, adjusting needle depth based on the area being treated. If PRP is included, it's applied during and after the needling process. The entire treatment takes 30-45 minutes.

Recovery & Results

Expect redness similar to a mild sunburn for 24-48 hours. Mild peeling may occur over the following 3-5 days as new skin emerges. Visible improvement begins at 2-4 weeks, with optimal results after a series of 3-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
