Introduction

Microneedling is generally categorized into dissolvable microneedles, metal microneedles, and silicon microneedles, with corresponding prices as follows: dissolvable microneedles cost 500–3,000 yuan per session; metal microneedles cost 1,000–5,000 yuan per session; and silicon microneedles cost 2,000–5,000 yuan per session. Factors influencing microneedling prices include the treatment area, geographical location, and the experience and qualifications of the physician.

Microneedling Analysis and Price Reference:

Comparison Item / Project	Dissolvable Microneedles	Metal Microneedles	Silicon-Based Microneedles
Price	500–3,000 RMB/session	1,000–5,000 RMB/session	2,000–5,000 RMB/session
Principle	Made from biodegradable materials, these microneedles are applied onto the skin surface, penetrate the skin, and dissolve beneath it.	Uses tiny metal needles to create micro-injuries on the skin surface, stimulating the skin’s natural healing ability.	Utilizes silicon-based microneedles to stimulate the skin, creating microscopic channels on the skin surface to enhance absorption of nutrients and promote self-repair.
Suitable Candidates	Suitable for most individuals seeking to improve their skin condition.	Ideal for individuals with rough skin, fine lines, enlarged pores, acne scars, or post-acne marks.	Suitable for individuals with signs of skin aging, wrinkles, or enlarged pores.
Recovery Time	1–2 days	3–7 days	3–5 days
Duration of Results	6–12 months	1–2 years	1–2 years
Risks	1. Skin allergy 2. Infection	1. Infection 2. Hyperpigmentation	1. Skin allergy 2. Microneedle breakage and retention in the skin
Advantages	1. Convenient to use 2. High safety profile	1. Effectively stimulates collagen regeneration 2. Relatively short treatment duration	1. Effective skin penetration 2. Promotes skin cell regeneration and repair

Factors Affecting Price:

1. Treatment Area: Prices vary depending on the body part treated. Facial and neck treatments are relatively less expensive, while larger areas such as the back, abdomen, and legs may incur higher costs.

2. Geographic Location: In first-tier cities with developed economies, microneedling prices are generally higher than in second- and third-tier cities due to higher living costs, expensive rental fees, and labor expenses.

3. Physician Experience and Qualifications: More experienced doctors perform microneedling procedures with greater skill, accurately adjusting treatment depth, frequency, and dosage based on individual skin conditions, which often results in higher pricing.

Prior to undergoing microneedling, individuals should choose reputable medical facilities to minimize risks. Ensure the skin is free of inflammation before treatment and communicate thoroughly with the physician. After treatment, maintain skin cleanliness, avoid water exposure to prevent infection, and practice sun protection to optimize results.

How to treat primary keloids

In general, primary keloids can be treated through dietary adjustments, medication, hyaluronic acid fillers, fractional laser therapy, microneedling, and other methods. Ultraviolet radiation may exacerbate changes in the color and texture of scars. When going outdoors, it is recommended to use sunscreen with a high SPF value and to avoid direct sun exposure to the scarred areas as much as possible.
