Microneedling — SkinPen & MesoPen

GOLDCOAST Medspa Chicago offers FDA-cleared SkinPen microneedling at $450 per session, with numbing cream included, targeting acne scars, fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and overall skin texture. An alternative MesoPen treatment is available from $299 per session with package pricing. PRP therapy can be added to either device for enhanced collagen stimulation.

Microneedling at GOLDCOAST Medspa Chicago is available on two clinical platforms to accommodate different patient budgets and goals. The SkinPen by Bellus Medical is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device and remains the clinical benchmark for collagen induction therapy; at $450 per session, it includes a prescription-grade numbing cream for a comfortable experience. The controlled micro-channels created by the SkinPen's sterile needles trigger the skin's natural wound-healing cascade, producing new collagen and elastin over six to eight weeks following each session. Indications include atrophic acne scars, surgical scars, fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores, hyperpigmentation, and general skin texture improvement. Most patients see optimal results after a series of three to six monthly sessions, with cumulative improvement building across the course. The MesoPen offers a more accessible entry point from $299 per session, with package pricing available, and targets similar indications with comparable mechanism. For patients seeking an enhanced outcome, GOLDCOAST also provides PRP platelet-rich plasma therapy as a topical or injectable complement to microneedling: blood drawn at the appointment is centrifuged to concentrate growth factors, and the PRP is applied to the micro-channels immediately after needling or injected superficially to maximise bioavailability. The combination of mechanical stimulation and autologous growth factors creates a synergistic response that can accelerate the timeline of visible improvement. Chicago patients with acne scarring, early ageing, or post-inflammatory pigmentation will find GOLDCOAST's medically supervised microneedling programme a credible non-ablative option in the Streeterville and Gold Coast area of Chicago, Illinois.
