If you have been researching microneedling cost, you have probably noticed that the numbers online are all over the place. Some sites quote a single session, some quote a package, and some fold in add-ons like PRF without saying so. Here in the Quad Cities, we think you deserve a straight answer before you ever sit down in the treatment chair. This guide walks through what microneedling costs at The Bar Aesthetics & Wellness in Davenport, what changes the price, how many sessions most people plan for, and how to decide whether it fits your budget.
How much does microneedling cost at The Bar in Davenport?
Our published pricing for microneedling is simple:
- Single treatment: $350
- Package of 3 treatments: $950 (about $317 per session)
- Package of 4 treatments: $1,250 (about $313 per session)
You can see the same figures on our microneedling service page. Your final plan is confirmed at your consultation, because the right number of sessions depends on your skin and your goals, not on a one-size-fits-all menu.
One honest note: prices for microneedling vary a lot from clinic to clinic and city to city. When you compare quotes around the Quad Cities, check whether the price is per session or per package, which areas are included, and whether a numbing cream, serum, or aftercare product is part of the visit.
What affects the price of microneedling?
1. How many sessions you need
Microneedling works by creating tiny, controlled micro-channels in the skin, which prompts your body’s natural repair process and collagen production. Collagen builds gradually, so most people plan a series rather than a single visit. That is why packages exist: they lower the per-session cost for a plan you were likely to follow anyway.
2. What you are treating
Fine lines, texture, enlarged pores, and dullness often respond to a shorter series. Concerns like acne scarring or stretch marks usually take more patience and more sessions. If scarring is your main goal, our guide to acne scar treatment in the Quad Cities explains how we think about building a plan.
3. The treatment area
Microneedling is most often done on the face, but it can also be performed on the neck, chest, abdomen, and thighs. Larger or multiple areas take more time and product, which can change your quote.
4. Add-ons like PRF
Many clients ask about microneedling with PRF (platelet-rich fibrin). A small blood sample is drawn at the start of your visit and spun in a centrifuge to create a concentrate from your own blood, which is applied to the skin during microneedling. PRF pricing depends on the amount required. Our PRF service page lists PRF treatments in the $400 to $1,100 range, and your provider will give you the exact combined price at your consultation before anything is scheduled.
How many microneedling sessions will I need?
There is no universal number, and anyone who promises one before seeing your skin is guessing. As a general framework:
- Glow, texture and maintenance: many clients start with a series of three and then come back periodically to maintain results.
- Acne scars or deeper texture concerns: plans are often longer, and results build over several months.
- Spacing: sessions are usually spaced several weeks apart so your skin has time to heal and rebuild between visits.
Most people notice a fresher look within about a week, and improvement continues gradually as collagen develops. Results vary from person to person, and they are not permanent: skin keeps aging, so many clients choose periodic maintenance sessions.
Is microneedling worth the cost?
Microneedling tends to be a good value when your goals match what it does well: smoother texture, a more even look, softer fine lines, and gradual improvement in scarring. It is minimally invasive, it works for many skin types, and downtime is usually limited to a day or two of pinkness, similar to a mild sunburn.
It may not be the best investment if you are mainly looking for noticeable tightening of loose skin. In that case, a radiofrequency microneedling treatment may be a better fit. We break down the differences in depth, downtime and price in Morpheus8 vs Microneedling: What’s the Real Difference?
If you are still deciding whether microneedling is right for you at all, our earlier article, Microneedling in the Quad Cities: Is It Worth It?, covers who tends to be a good candidate and what the experience is like.
What is included in a microneedling appointment?
At The Bar, a microneedling visit typically includes:
- A review of your skin, your goals, and your health history
- Cleansing and a topical numbing cream for comfort
- The microneedling treatment itself, performed with a medical-grade device
- Aftercare guidance, including sun protection and which products to pause for a few days
Ask about aftercare products during your consultation. Using gentle, appropriate skincare after treatment helps your skin recover comfortably, and we are happy to recommend options that fit your routine.
Ways to make microneedling fit your budget
- Choose a package: if you already expect to do a series, the 3- or 4-session package lowers the per-treatment price.
- Ask about monthly payments: financing options are available. See our payment plans page for details.
- Plan around your calendar: fall and winter are popular times to start a series, since there is less intense sun exposure while your skin heals.
- Start with a consultation: a plan built around your skin avoids paying for sessions you do not need.
Microneedling cost: frequently asked questions
How much is microneedling for the face?
At The Bar in Davenport, microneedling is $350 per treatment, $950 for a package of three, or $1,250 for a package of four. Adding PRF or treating additional areas can change the total, and your provider confirms the final price at your consultation.
Is microneedling with PRF more expensive?
Yes. PRF adds a blood draw and processing step, so it costs more than microneedling alone. PRF treatments at The Bar are listed in the $400 to $1,100 range depending on the amount required. Many clients choose PRF because it uses a concentrate from their own blood, but whether it is worth adding depends on your goals.
How long do microneedling results last?
Results develop gradually over the weeks after treatment. Because skin continues to age, many clients plan maintenance sessions to keep their results looking their best. Your provider can suggest a maintenance rhythm based on how your skin responds.
