Microneedling Cost in Pittsburgh: RF and RejuvaPen
RejuvaPen microneedling is $550 a session, or $1560 for a series of three. Fractional RF microneedling on the Fraxis Duo is $635 to $975 a session, or $1605 to $2620 for three, depending on whether it is paired with hyaluronic acid, a PRX peel or PRP.
Two microneedling treatments.Every published price.
Acqua Blu offers microneedling two ways. RejuvaPen is a pen holding nine fine needles that break up the tethering inside a scar and give the skin a reason to rebuild itself. Fractional RF microneedling on the Fraxis Duo delivers radiofrequency energy through the needles into the deep dermis and pairs it with a fractional CO2 laser on the surface, two technologies in one session.
The price follows the depth. RejuvaPen has one figure. The Fraxis Duo has three, set by what is paired with it: a hyaluronic acid serum, the PRX Derm Perfexion peel, or platelet rich plasma drawn from your own blood at the visit.
Both build results over a series, three sessions for most RejuvaPen plans and three to five for the Fraxis Duo, and the three-session price on every row is below three single sessions.

Prices from the practice’s own list. RejuvaPen quotes vary with the regions treated and the total surface area; every plan is priced at the consultation before anything is scheduled.
What movesthe number.
Which device
The largest step. RejuvaPen is mechanical needling with nine fine needles. The Fraxis Duo adds radiofrequency energy at depths of 0.5mm to 3.5mm and a fractional CO2 pass in the same session, which is why its lowest price starts above RejuvaPen's.
What is paired with it
A hyaluronic acid serum is the base pairing for both. On the Fraxis Duo, the PRX Derm Perfexion peel adds tone and texture work in the same course, and PRP is platelet rich plasma drawn from your own blood at each visit. Each adds to the session price.
One session or three
Both treatments build results over a series: most RejuvaPen plans start with three sessions, and an ideal Fraxis Duo plan runs three to five. The practice prices three sessions together below three bought one at a time. The saving is $90 on RejuvaPen and $300 to $425 on the Fraxis Duo.
How much skin
RejuvaPen quotes vary with the regions targeted and the total surface area, so a full face and neck sits differently from a cheek with acne scarring. The consultation maps the areas before the figure is set.
Pay for the depth your skin needs.Not more.
The cheaper treatment is the better value only when it is the right one. RejuvaPen earns its price on acne scarring, melasma and stretch marks. The Fraxis Duo earns its higher price on laxity, lines and pores, with acne scarring on its list too. A consultation reads your skin and says which, before you pay for either.
ModelAcne scarring is the main concern
RejuvaPen, at $550 a session. Breaking up the tethering under an indented scar is what it does best, and it is one of the most effective skin treatments the practice offers.
Melasma or stretch marks
RejuvaPen again. Melasma cannot be treated with lasers, and stretch marks are a type of scar, so the mechanical treatment is the route that stays open to both.
Laxity, sagging or lost definition
The Fraxis Duo, from $635 a session. Radiofrequency in the deep dermis is what tightens elastin fibers and increases skin density, which is why its own page calls it a non-surgical facelift.
Wrinkles, pores and scarring together
The Fraxis Duo, where the laser works the surface and the needles work the depth in one visit. Its own page puts acne scarring at around 50% improvement after five treatments.
A full course is in the budget
Either series. Both are sold three sessions at a time, and the series price is where the saving lives. A single session is a fair way to begin if you want to see how your skin responds first.
Seven questions we are askedabout what microneedling costs.
At Acqua Blu, fractional RF microneedling on the Fraxis Duo is $635 a session with hyaluronic acid serum, $950 with the PRX Derm Perfexion peel, and $975 with PRP. A series of three is $1605, $2425 or $2620 respectively. Each figure covers the full Fraxis Duo session, the fractional CO2 pass and the RF needling together, and the exact plan is confirmed at the consultation.
$550 for a single session with hyaluronic acid serum, or $1560 for a package of three, which is how most RejuvaPen plans are built. Because the quote depends on the regions treated and the total surface area, you receive a personalized figure at the consultation before anything is scheduled.
Because it is two technologies in one session. RejuvaPen is a pen holding nine fine needles that stimulate the skin mechanically. The Fraxis Duo delivers radiofrequency energy through 25 needles per shot at depths of 0.5mm to 3.5mm, and pairs it with a fractional CO2 laser working the surface. That reach is what its own page calls a non-surgical facelift, and it is what the higher price buys.
If you plan to complete a series, yes. Most RejuvaPen plans start with three sessions, an ideal Fraxis Duo plan runs three to five, and both are sold as three-session series priced below three singles: $90 less for RejuvaPen, and $300 to $425 less for the Fraxis Duo depending on the pairing. If you are unsure which treatment suits you, a single session is a reasonable way to start, and the consultation will say which is the better fit before you commit to either.
The session itself and the serum or add-on named in the row: hyaluronic acid, the PRX Derm Perfexion peel, or PRP drawn from your own blood at the visit. Anything beyond that, including the areas treated, is confirmed at the consultation before anything is scheduled.
No. Microneedling for scarring, texture, lines or laxity is a cosmetic treatment, which insurance does not cover. The practice accepts CareCredit, which lets a series be paid over time with no-interest options within the plan period. Details are on our financing page, and the desk can walk you through it at the consultation.
Neither treatment is a maintenance product you repeat to hold a result. Scar and texture improvement from a series is lasting, because it is your own rebuilt collagen. Some patients add one or two more RejuvaPen sessions after the first three because they want to keep the progress going, and for lines and laxity, an occasional RF microneedling maintenance session slows the effects of aging. Your provider sets that cadence with you rather than selling it up front.
