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.
Rooted in our holistic skincare philosophy, this innovative treatment blends leading-edge technology with your body’s natural regenerative power. Every detail, from technique to products, is chosen to support your skin’s long-term health and vibrancy.
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.
- Our at-home protocol for post microneedling care is an important part of the treatment.
You may notice some improvement within a few days, but full results are mostly noticeable after 4-6 weeks. For deeper concerns such as pigmentation or scarring, results are more pronounced after 3–6 treatments spaced 6–8 weeks apart. Your skin will continue improving for months after your last session.
Most clients find the treatment very tolerable, though it can be uncomfortable. The microneedling part of the treatment lasts about 20-25 minutes.
We do not use numbing cream, as it is not necessary due to the comfort features of the Dermapen 4 and it can impede the skin's feedback during the treatment. If you are worried about the pain or would like to minimize it, you may take acetometaphin (Tylenol) 30 minutes prior to the procedure to reduce pain. Taking Ibuprofen (Advil) is not recommended prior to microneedling.
You may experience mild redness similar to a light sunburn, or moderate redness for sensitive skin types, for up to 48 hours. Your skin may also feel warm, dry or tight for 48 hours afterward.
Most people resume normal activities immediately. Makeup and regular skincare can be resumed after 24–48 hours.
Yes, when performed by trained professionals using sterile, medical-grade equipment. We follow strict sanitation protocols and use single-use needle cartridges to ensure your safety.
