VISIBLE RESULTS WITH MINIMAL DOWNTIME
Microneedling is a non-invasive skin treatment that involves the use of a specialized device equipped with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin's surface. These tiny punctures trigger the skin's natural healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin production. As a result, microneedling helps improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of scars, fine lines, and wrinkles, and enhance overall radiance.
At ORESTA, we take it a step further by pairing microneedling with Red Light Therapy. Red light works at the cellular level to calm inflammation, speed up healing, and enhance collagen synthesis, making it the perfect companion to microneedling for faster recovery and amplified results.
THE ORESTA DIFFERENCE
Our unique approach to microneedling focuses on maximizing results while minimizing recovery time. At ORESTA, we believe that skincare should be personalized, gentle, and effective. This treatment is fully customized to your unique skin needs and goals. We've extensively researched the best recovery tools and post-care products to reduce inflammation and side effects. Our at-home protocol is crucial to minimizing side effects. Most clients experience minimal redness and return to their day quickly, seeing visible improvements within days.

Microneedling + Red Light Therapy FAQs
Dermapen microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses ultra-fine needles to create micro-channels in the skin. This process stimulates your body’s natural healing response, encouraging collagen and elastin production while allowing corrective serums to penetrate deeply and work more effectively.
Microneedling can address:
- Fine lines + wrinkles
- Acne + acne scars
- Uneven tone + texture
- Hyperpigmentation
- Loss of firmness
Red Light Therapy (LED Therapy) uses therapeutic red wavelengths of light to penetrate the skin at a cellular level. It enhances circulation, reduces inflammation, accelerates healing, and supports collagen production, making it an ideal post-microneedling treatment.
- We use the advanced Dermapen 4 for superior comfort, precision, and results.
- 30 min professional-grade LED light therapy dramatically reduces redness and amplifies results.
- Our holistic, skin-first philosophy ensures every treatment is gentle yet effective.
- No harsh chemicals or aggressive techniques, just skin that looks and feels healthier.
