Thoughts on micro-needling?

Consult for acne scars yesterday, was expecting a Fraxel laser recommendation. Quoted $350/session and 3 sessions (in Charlotte, NC). Overpriced? Quoted $150/chem peel

Fraxel is the way to go and that seems super reasonable. Make sure the person is well trained on the laser or it could burn/scar you. Is this at a MD?

I just saw a video about this, and it looks like the dumbest shit I’ve ever seen

I was surprised the aesthetician jumped right to micro-needling. Didn’t really evaluate my skin/scarring, which left me wondering.
She said the downtime is much better than a laser (which she mentioned they don’t even do at that location 😒). Just curious if anyone has tried it!

@A1 the quote was actually for the micro-needling sessions, my post was unclear. I think I’ll get a second consult with another office. Curious about Fraxel pricing

That seems way cheaper then what I have seen. Usually chemical peels are 300+ and micro needling 800+. This is in NYC and DC, but can’t imagine it should differ that much. So, prices are really low, which could be good or bad. Lol

Thanks BCG2 good to know! I went for a second consult and Fraxel was recommended. Recommended 3-4 sessions at $850/session (or 4 for $3050). Any insights on this pricing anyone?

Something about me is both a curse and a blessing - I can't ignore what is not clear, logical, aligned, and simple. Even if that means that I have to work several minutes or hours extra on a document or an email. Things bother me if they aren't as expected. Unless I understand something clearly, I can't let it go. This is what helped me excel at studies. At work, my obsession makes it hard for people around me. If people complain about me, should I just let it go or change my approach?
