The past VIO University focused on collagen. Under the leadership of Dr. Alan Durkin and a diverse faculty, VIO Med Spa providers engaged directly with leaders shaping the future of the media spa industries. Through various presentations, breakout groups and round tables, franchisees were further educated on collagen stimulation from multiple clinical angles.
Throughout general sessions and breakouts, faculty members led live demonstrations, device walk-throughs and hands-on skincare integrations with brand sponsors including Alastin, BABOR, Skinbetter Science, VI Peel and more. These sessions provided franchisees with structured exposure to emerging technologies, combination therapies, and evolving treatment strategies that continue to shape the aesthetic landscape.
"VIO University stands out as one of the most thoughtfully curated gatherings in aesthetics," said Michael Glaicar, CEO of NewBeauty. "The faculty reflects a dynamic cross-section of med spa industry leaders. Bringing that caliber of expertise together fosters forward-thinking dialogue and equips VIO providers with real-time insight into what's driving the market."
