About the Treatment
What is Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive mechanical exfoliation treatment that gently removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells, revealing the fresher, younger skin beneath. Using a specialized device that combines suction with exfoliating crystals or a diamond tip, this treatment stimulates cell turnover and promotes collagen production.
This gentle yet effective treatment addresses dull skin, fine lines, minor scars, age spots, and enlarged pores. It's an excellent entry-level treatment for those new to clinical skincare, and also serves as an effective maintenance treatment between more intensive procedures.
At VÍORA Signature, we customize microdermabrasion intensity based on your skin type and concerns, often combining it with other treatments for enhanced results.

Your Experience
What to Expect
Before Treatment
Your consultation confirms suitability and covers preparation. General guidance includes sharing your medical history and current skincare, and avoiding strong actives or excess sun exposure where advised.
During Treatment
Your session typically takes 30-45 minutes. Comfort is monitored throughout, and each step is explained as it happens.
After Treatment
No downtime. Mild pinkness may occur for a few hours. Sun protection essential.
Results
A Realistic Results Timeline
Immediate improvement in skin brightness and texture. Best results with monthly treatments.
Immediately After
The treated area may show an early response — this varies by treatment and is discussed with you beforehand.
Early Response
Over the first days to weeks, initial changes settle as the skin or tissue begins its natural response.
Progressive Results
Collagen-based and regenerative treatments continue improving gradually across the following weeks.
Review Point
Progress is assessed at a planned review, where your plan is confirmed or refined.
Timelines are indicative and treatment-dependent. Individual responses vary, and exact outcomes are never promised.
Planning Your Course
Sessions & Maintenance
Some treatments show meaningful change after a single session, while others are planned as a structured course. Your recommended session count depends on the concern being addressed, its severity and duration, your skin or hair type, and how your body responds to the first sessions.
Where maintenance is relevant, it is discussed openly at your review — never assumed. The aim is always the fewest sessions that responsibly serve your goal.
What Influences Session Count
- The concern and how established it is
- Your individual skin, hair or tissue response
- Treatment intensity chosen for your comfort
- How results are maintained between sessions
This is why a consultation is necessary — your expected plan is mapped before you commit to anything.

Common Questions
Microdermabrasion FAQs
Microdermabrasion uses suction and abrasion, while dermaplaning uses a blade. Both exfoliate but through different mechanisms.
Active inflamed acne should be treated first. It's excellent for post-acne texture and mild scarring.
Monthly treatments for maintenance, or every 2 weeks for intensive improvement.
We recommend waiting a few hours to let your skin breathe, but makeup can be applied if needed.
