About the Treatment
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), is a minimally invasive treatment that uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-channels trigger the body's natural healing response, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin for firmer, smoother, more youthful skin.
This versatile treatment effectively addresses a wide range of concerns including acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, stretch marks, and uneven texture. The micro-channels also enhance the absorption of topical serums, allowing active ingredients to penetrate deeper for enhanced results.
At VÍORA Signature, we use medical-grade devices with adjustable needle depths, allowing us to customize treatment intensity based on your specific concerns and skin type.

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 45-60 minutes including numbing. Comfort is monitored throughout, and each step is explained as it happens.
After Treatment
2-5 days of redness, similar to mild sunburn. Avoid sun and active skincare for 1 week.
Results
A Realistic Results Timeline
Initial results visible in 2 weeks. Optimal results after 3-6 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
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.
