Most clinics in Canada charge a few hundred dollars for a single microneedling session, and the number moves with the device, the area treated, the products used and who performs the treatment. At Enriched Med Spa in Woodbridge, microneedling is $359 per session. Below, we explain what sits behind a price like that, how radiofrequency (RF) microneedling differs, and how to compare quotes fairly before you book.
TL;DR
- Standard microneedling in Canada is generally priced in the low-to-mid hundreds of dollars per session. Ours is $359.
- RF microneedling costs noticeably more per session because the device and the protocol are more advanced.
- Most skin concerns need a series of sessions, not one, so judge the cost of the plan rather than a single visit.
- Microneedling is cosmetic and is generally not covered by insurance.
- Compare quotes on what is included (area, products, aftercare, practitioner), not on the headline number alone.

What microneedling costs in Canada
Published menus from Canadian clinics tend to put a single standard microneedling session somewhere between roughly $150 and $400, with larger or more advanced treatments climbing from there. The spread is wide for good reasons. A quick localized treatment on one area is priced very differently from a full face, neck and chest session with a medical-grade device and added serums.
Prices also shift by city. Clinics in downtown Toronto, Vancouver and Calgary don’t price identically, and the same treatment in a smaller community often costs a little less. If you see a price that looks far below the others, ask what it includes before you book.
Here is a plain way to read the market:
| Treatment type | What you typically get | How price tends to behave |
|---|---|---|
| Small-area or add-on microneedling | One concern area, basic serum | Lowest end of the range |
| Standard face microneedling | Full face, one session, topical products | The middle of the range |
| Face, neck and chest | Larger surface, more time | Higher, often with a separate add-on fee |
| Microneedling with PRP | Your own platelet-rich plasma applied | Higher, because of the blood draw and processing |
| RF microneedling | Needles plus radiofrequency energy | Highest, commonly a multiple of standard pricing |
Treat these as patterns, not quotes. The only number that matters is the one a clinic gives you after looking at your skin.
Our price at Enriched Med Spa
Our microneedling treatment is $359 per session. That is the price published on our site. We don’t publish prices for every service, and we would rather tell you that than guess: for anything that depends on your skin or the area treated, we confirm the price at your consultation.
Many clients come in assuming the cheapest session is the best value. In our experience, the better question is whether the plan matches your goal. A person with early texture changes and tired-looking skin needs a different plan from someone treating acne scars, and the second plan usually takes more visits.
The price is for a treatment performed by experienced, nurse-level injectors and aestheticians, with a consultation beforehand and clear pre- and post-care guidance. Ask us whether taxes are included in the amount you’re quoted, and we’ll tell you exactly what you’ll pay at checkout.
What changes the price of a session
Five things account for most of the difference between one quote and another.
The device
A basic derma pen and a medical-grade automated device are not the same tool. Better devices control needle depth more precisely and create more consistent micro-channels, which matters for comfort and for how evenly your skin heals. The clinic’s equipment cost is part of what you pay.
The area treated
Face only, face and neck, or face, neck and chest are priced as different treatments because they take different amounts of time and product. Smaller areas such as around the eyes or a scar cluster can be cheaper.
Depth and protocol
A light session aimed at glow and texture is not the same as a deeper protocol for scarring. Deeper work needs more skill, more careful numbing and a longer recovery, and it is priced accordingly.
Products used during treatment
Serums, growth-factor products or your own PRP applied during the procedure add cost. They can also add benefit for some concerns, but a longer ingredient list is not automatically better. Ask what is being used and why it suits your skin.
Who is treating you
Experience is the part that is hardest to see on a price list. A trained nurse or aesthetician who assesses your skin, adjusts depth by area and tells you when microneedling is not the right option is worth more than a lower fee from someone following a fixed routine.
Standard microneedling versus RF microneedling
RF microneedling adds radiofrequency energy delivered through the needles, which heats the deeper layers of skin. Clinics use it when the goal is firmness and skin tightening as well as texture. Because the equipment is more expensive and the treatment is more involved, per-session prices are meaningfully higher than for standard microneedling. Published Canadian menus often show RF sessions at a multiple of the standard price, particularly for full-face or face-and-neck treatments.
Here is how we explain the choice to clients:
- Standard microneedling suits early fine lines, uneven texture, enlarged-looking pores and mild acne scarring. It is a good first step if you are new to aesthetic treatments.
- RF treatments suit those who notice looseness along the jawline or cheeks, or whose concerns haven’t responded fully to standard microneedling.
- Neither replaces injectables or surgery for deeper volume loss or heavy lines. We’ll say so if that applies to you.
If skin tightening is your main goal, it is worth looking at radiofrequency treatments directly. We offer radiofrequency skin tightening among our medical-grade skin treatments, and we’ll compare it with microneedling at your consultation so you only pay for what fits.
How many sessions you will likely need
A single session can brighten skin and soften the look of fine texture, but lasting change comes from a series. Clinics commonly recommend several sessions spaced a few weeks apart, then occasional maintenance. The exact number depends on your concern:
- Glow and general texture: often a short series, then upkeep as needed.
- Acne scars and pigmentation: usually a longer series, because the skin remodels gradually.
- Fine lines and early aging: a short series followed by maintenance a few times a year.
Results build slowly. Collagen changes take weeks, so judge your skin a month or two after a session, not the next morning. We don’t promise a specific outcome, because skin type, age, sun exposure and aftercare all play a part.
How packages change the math
Many clinics discount a bundle of sessions, so the per-session price falls a little as the series gets longer. The saving is real, but only buy a package after a consultation confirms microneedling suits you. A discounted series you don’t finish, or one for the wrong concern, is no bargain. Ask what happens if you need to pause or if your plan changes.
Is microneedling covered by insurance?
In general, no. Microneedling is considered a cosmetic procedure and typically requires out-of-pocket payment. Some people can claim a medically necessary procedure through a health plan, but that is the exception, and you should confirm with your insurer before treatment. Plan to pay directly, and ask your clinic about payment options if you’re budgeting for a series.
Our perspective: what we would tell you in a consultation
We’d rather you walk away informed than book on the first price you see. When someone asks us about microneedling cost, we start with three questions: what bothers you most about your skin, what is your timeline, and what have you tried already.
Many clients arrive noticing early signs of aging or tired-looking skin and ask for “the strongest option.” Often the more conservative plan is the better one. Skin needs time to recover between treatments, and doing too much too quickly can set you back. We also say plainly when something else is a better fit: peels for surface pigmentation, injectables for lines caused by muscle movement, RF for laxity.
Our view on pricing is simple. A fair price is one you understand: what device, which area, what is included, who performs it, and how many visits you realistically need. If a quote can’t answer those questions, ask more questions.

What to ask before you book
Use this short list with any clinic, including ours:
- Which device is used, and is it medical-grade?
- What area does the price cover, and is there a neck or chest add-on?
- Are serums, PRP or numbing included, or charged separately?
- Who performs the treatment, and what are their credentials?
- How many sessions do you expect I’ll need for my concern?
- What does the package include, and what if I stop early?
- What are the pre- and post-care instructions?
Good preparation also protects your investment. Our guide on how to prepare for microneedling walks through what to avoid beforehand, and post-microneedling care explains the common mistakes that can undercut your results. If you have an event coming up, read about microneedling downtime so you schedule far enough ahead. For safety questions, see is microneedling safe.
A note on at-home kits
Home devices are cheaper up front, but they can’t match the needle depth or control of professional equipment, and poor technique raises the risk of irritation. If you are tempted, our buyer’s guide to home microneedling kits explains the trade-offs.
Comparing microneedling with other treatments you may be pricing
People researching microneedling are often weighing several options at once. Lighter treatments, such as facials and peels, are gentler and cost less per visit, and they work mainly on the surface. Microneedling reaches deeper to stimulate collagen. Injectables such as Botox relax the muscles behind expression lines, and dermal fillers restore volume. These do different jobs, so a lower price on one doesn’t make it a substitute for another.

FAQ
How much is microneedling per session in Canada?
Most Canadian clinics charge a few hundred dollars for one standard session, with the price rising for larger areas, PRP and RF devices. At Enriched Med Spa, microneedling is $359 per session. Always confirm what the quote includes.
Is RF microneedling worth the extra cost?
It can be, if your main concern is skin laxity or firmness as well as texture. For early texture changes or mild scarring, standard microneedling is often enough. We’ll recommend based on your skin, not on the higher price.
Is a package cheaper than single sessions?
Usually the per-session price drops when you buy a series. It only saves money if you finish the series and the treatment suits your concern, so book a consultation first.
Does insurance cover microneedling?
Generally not, because it is a cosmetic procedure and is typically paid for out of pocket. If you think your situation is medical, check with your insurer before you book.
