Microneedling is one of the most searched advanced skin treatments because it can address several concerns at once — texture, the look of enlarged pores, fine lines and certain acne-scar patterns — without the recovery of more aggressive resurfacing procedures. But the useful questions are not just “does it work?” They are what does it cost, how much downtime should I plan, and when will I actually see a change?
Microneedling cost at AJ Aesthetics in Stuart
AJ Aesthetics currently lists both Classic Microneedling and RF Microneedling at $250 per session, with a series of three commonly recommended based on goals. A consultation is the best place to confirm which option fits your skin and whether pricing has changed.
Classic vs RF microneedling
Classic microneedling
Classic microneedling creates controlled microchannels in the skin using sterile single-use cartridges. At AJ Aesthetics, the appointment includes skin analysis, cleansing, topical numbing prep, the microneedling treatment, post-treatment serum and a soothing LED finish.
RF microneedling
RF microneedling combines the needling process with controlled radiofrequency energy. Drea may recommend it when the goal includes deeper texture or visible laxity, but candidacy depends on the individual skin and health history.
What is the downtime?
AJ Aesthetics advises clients to plan for roughly 1 to 3 days of visible redness, with possible dryness or light flaking afterward. Many clients feel socially comfortable sooner, but you should schedule around important events rather than assuming your skin will look completely normal the next morning.
- Day 0: redness and warmth are common
- Days 1–3: redness gradually settles; skin may feel dry or tight
- Around days 3–5: mild flaking can occur
- After the first week: the skin usually looks more settled while longer-term remodeling continues
When do results show?
Some clients notice smoother-looking skin as the initial recovery settles, but the more meaningful changes develop gradually. AJ Aesthetics plans follow-up sessions approximately 4 to 6 weeks apart when a series is appropriate, with improvement continuing over the following weeks.
Who should not book microneedling without a consultation?
Active infections, open lesions, uncontrolled inflammatory skin conditions, certain medications, pregnancy-related considerations and some medical histories can change candidacy. This is why AJ Aesthetics recommends a health intake and consultation before advanced treatments. When a concern falls outside esthetic scope, Drea will recommend medical guidance.
Can microneedling help acne scars?
Microneedling is commonly used to improve the appearance of certain textural acne scars once active acne is controlled. Not every scar type responds the same way, so Drea assesses texture before recommending a series. Raised scars, deep tethered scars or severe active acne may need medical or combination treatment.
