Microneedling Cost London 2026: Prices from £199

Microneedling is one of the most popular treatments for smoother, brighter skin, but prices in London vary a lot. Here's what microneedling costs, how many sessions you're likely to need, and how it compares with RF microneedling.

How Much Does Microneedling Cost in London?

Standard microneedling in London usually costs from around £150 to £350 per session. The price depends on the area treated, the clinic, who performs the treatment and whether serums or add-ons are included.

At EliteSkin, standard microneedling costs £199 per session. You pay per session – there's no course package to buy upfront.

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

Most people see a glow within a few days, but collagen builds gradually. A course of 3–6 sessions, spaced around 4 weeks apart, is typical for concerns such as texture, fine lines and mild acne scarring. Your practitioner will suggest a plan for your skin.

What Can Microneedling Help With?

• Dull or uneven skin texture

• Fine lines

• Enlarged pores

• Mild acne scarring

• Overall skin brightness and glow

Microneedling vs RF Microneedling

Standard microneedling uses fine needles to create tiny channels in the skin, which triggers its natural repair process and collagen production. RF microneedling adds radiofrequency energy, which heats the deeper layers of the skin for a stronger collagen response.

• Standard microneedling – from £199 per session. A good choice for texture, glow and early fine lines.

• RF microneedling – from £270 per session. Better suited to deeper acne scarring, looser skin and more visible lines. Learn about RF microneedling

What to Expect on the Day

Your practitioner checks your skin and confirms the treatment is right for you. Numbing cream is usually applied first for comfort. The treatment itself takes around 30–60 minutes.

Downtime and Aftercare

Redness similar to mild sunburn is normal and usually settles within 1–3 days. Avoid makeup for 24 hours, skip the gym and saunas for a day or two, and use a high-SPF sunscreen while your skin recovers.
