Microneedling & Chemical Peel Treatments
Not every skin concern calls for surgery or laser resurfacing. For patients throughout Bend, Central Oregon, and the Pacific Northwest looking for gentler, lower-downtime ways to improve their skin, we offer microneedling and chemical peels — two complementary, well-established treatments that address texture, tone, and early signs of aging.
NON-SURGICAL SKIN REJUVENATION
Not every skin concern calls for surgery or laser resurfacing. For patients throughout Bend, Central Oregon, and the Pacific Northwest looking for gentler, lower-downtime ways to improve their skin, we offer microneedling and chemical peels — two complementary, well-established treatments that address texture, tone, and early signs of aging.
MICRONEEDLING
Microneedling uses fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, which stimulates your body’s natural collagen and elastin production as it heals. Over a series of treatments, this can lead to smoother, firmer, more even-toned skin.
Microneedling is commonly used for:
Fine lines and early skin laxity
Acne scarring and other textural scarring
Enlarged pores
Uneven skin tone
Overall skin rejuvenation, often as a maintenance treatment between larger procedures
Microneedling can also be layered with topical treatments — for example, our AlpenGlo K-Beauty Facial pairs skin resurfacing with topical exosomes for additional rejuvenation benefit.
CHEMICAL PEELS
Chemical peels use a controlled chemical solution to remove damaged outer layers of skin, encouraging fresher, more even-toned skin underneath. Peels range from superficial (light, minimal downtime, good for a “glow” refresh) to deeper, more intensive options that address more significant pigmentation, texture, or fine lines with a longer recovery.
Chemical peels are commonly used for:
Sun damage and uneven pigmentation
Dull texture and congested pores
Fine lines
Mild acne scarring
Melasma (in select cases, with appropriate precautions)
We’ll recommend a peel depth suited to your skin type, tolerance for downtime, and goals — Fitzpatrick skin type and sun exposure history factor into this decision.
What to Expect
Both treatments are performed in-office. Microneedling typically causes redness for one to three days, similar to a mild sunburn. Chemical peels vary widely in downtime depending on depth — superficial peels may cause light flaking for a few days, while deeper peels involve more visible peeling over a week or more. Most patients see a series of treatments (rather than a single session) for best results in texture, tone, and scarring.
Microneedling
$300–$700 per session, depending on areas treated and any adjunct treatments (such as exosomes)
Chemical peel
$100–$400 per session, depending on peel strength and type
Your exact price within these ranges depends on the treatment area(s), whether you add on treatments like exosomes, and — for peels — the depth and formulation best suited to your skin. This is determined at consultation.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
We understand that choosing a procedure is a deeply personal decision. Here are answers to some of the most common questions about treatment, recovery, results, and the overall Alpenaura experience.
Most patients benefit from a series — often three to six sessions for microneedling, spaced several weeks apart. Peels vary depending on depth and goals. Since pricing is per session, this affects your overall investment — we’ll map out a full plan and cost estimate at consultation.
Both can help, and they work differently — microneedling stimulates collagen from within, while peels work more on the surface layer. Many patients benefit from combining both, along with our UltraClear laser platform for deeper scarring.
Microneedling and superficial peels have minimal downtime. Deeper peels require more recovery. We’ll walk you through exactly what to expect for the option you choose.
Both treatments can be appropriate for a range of skin tones, but the specific approach matters — we’ll assess your skin type and history at consultation to choose the safest, most effective option.
Microneedling and peels are gentler, lower-downtime options generally suited to milder concerns or maintenance between more intensive treatments. UltraClear is a more powerful resurfacing tool for deeper texture, scarring, and pigment concerns. We can help you decide which fits your goals and timeline.
