RF microneedling is one of the most requested treatments at BHRC — and one of the most Googled questions we get is simply: how much does it cost?
The straightforward answer: $850 to $1,600 per session in Los Angeles, depending on the device, treatment area, and provider. At BHRC we use the Exion RF Microneedling system by BTL, one of the most advanced platforms available in 2026.
This guide breaks down exactly what you are paying for, how many sessions you will need, and how Exion compares to other devices across LA.
What Does RF Microneedling Cost in Los Angeles?
Based on 2026 pricing across West Hollywood, West LA, Beverly Hills, and surrounding areas:
| Treatment Area | BHRC Price Range | LA Market Range |
|---|---|---|
| Full Face | $950-$1,200 | $800-$1,600 |
| Face + Neck | $1,200-$1,600 | $1,000-$2,000 |
| Neck Only | $750-$950 | $600-$1,200 |
| Decolletage | $850-$1,100 | $700-$1,400 |
| Abdomen / Body | $1,100-$1,500 | $900-$1,800 |
Prices reflect single-session rates. Package pricing (3 sessions) reduces per-session cost by 15-25%.
What Is Included in the Price at BHRC?
- Provider consultation and skin assessment before treatment
- Topical numbing cream (applied 30-45 minutes before)
- Full Exion RF treatment performed by a licensed NP, PA, or physician
- Post-treatment soothing mask and SPF
- Aftercare instructions and follow-up support
Some med spas in LA charge separately for numbing or aftercare. BHRC includes everything in the session price.
Why the Price Varies Between Clinics
1. The Device Matters
Not all RF microneedling devices are equal. In Los Angeles you will encounter several platforms:
- Exion (BTL) — monopolar RF with AI-guided depth control, FDA-cleared for face and body. Used at BHRC.
- Morpheus8 (InMode) — bipolar RF, widely available, strong brand recognition
- Vivace — lower RF energy, often preferred for sensitive or first-time patients
- Potenza (Syneron Candela) — versatile multi-tip platform
Exion and Morpheus8 are similarly priced at $900-$1,600 per session. See our full Exion vs. Morpheus8 comparison.
2. Provider Credentials
A nurse practitioner or physician performing your treatment costs more than an aesthetician — with good reason. RF microneedling reaches the dermis and SMAS layer; depth, energy settings, and pass patterns matter. At BHRC, all RF treatments are performed by licensed NPs, PAs, or physicians.
3. Location in LA
West Hollywood and Beverly Hills clinics charge a premium over the Valley or South Bay. BHRC has two LA locations — West Hollywood and West Los Angeles — priced competitively for the market.
4. Single Session vs. Package Pricing
Single sessions let you try before committing. Packages of 3 sessions offer 15-25% savings and lock in your pricing. Most patients achieving meaningful results for laxity or scarring do a series of 3.
How Many Sessions Do You Need?
- Fine lines, mild texture: 2-3 sessions, 4-6 weeks apart
- Moderate acne scarring: 3-4 sessions
- Skin laxity / jowl tightening: 3-4 sessions, then annual maintenance
- Maintenance after initial series: 1 session per year
A 3-session full-face package at BHRC typically runs $2,700-$3,600 total. Each session stimulates collagen production for up to 12 months.1
Is RF Microneedling Covered by Insurance?
No. RF microneedling is an elective cosmetic procedure not covered by health insurance, including Medicare or Medi-Cal — even when treating acne scarring.
Financing Options at BHRC
We offer CareCredit and Cherry financing with 0% APR promotional periods for qualified applicants. Applications take under five minutes. Many patients find it easier to finance a 3-session package upfront rather than paying per session.
Questions to Ask Before Booking Anywhere in LA
- Which device do you use? Know what you are getting.
- Who performs the treatment? NP, PA, physician, or aesthetician?
- Is numbing cream included?
- What settings do you use for my skin type and concerns? A vague answer is a red flag.
- Can I see before/after photos of patients with my specific concerns?
