A Doctor’s thoughts on Reaction by Viora
In the May/June 2011 issue of MedEsthetics, Dr. Daniel Man of Boca Raton, FL, had some interesting words to say about his observations regarding Reaction. ” The improvement may not be as great as with liposuction, but it is visible after the first treatment,” says Dr. Man, “and it builds with subsequent treatments. We’ve used [the Viora] with many patients and can report an 85% satisfaction rate. The procedure isn’t that expensive and it produces results. You can decrease fat, tighten skin, improve cellulite and decrease existing scars.”

American Health & Beauty- Reaction Reducing Cellulite Around the World
Viora’s Reaction™ is in action around the world! At the recent annual meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), American Health & Beauty Editor Keith Veseleny met Dr. Mario Fuks, a dermatologist from Argentina to discuss his results using the leading body contouring and cellulite reduction device.
Skin tightening, cellulite reduction, and facial contouring are all possible with just one easy to use machine, the Reaction by Viora. This device uses a fully customizable range of radio frequency (RF) energy to reduce fat deposits and tighten skin. At the recent annual meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), American Health & Beauty Editor Keith Veseleny sat down with Dr. Mario Fuks, a dermatologist who uses the Reaction in his Argentine office.
“It’s an excellent machine for cellulite, very easy to use, and the results are amazing,” says Dr. Fuks. “It’s a very powerful system for skin tightening, and you get noticeable results after just one treatment.” Dr. Fuks said that he is shocked by not only the power of the machine, but how swiftly he’s able to acheive results. “I was surprised at how quickly I was able to reach the optimal temperature for treating cellulite. It’s much faster than other comparable systems.”
Dr. Fuks is also impressed with the applicator tip, which is small enough to treat areas other devices can’t. “The skin tightening applicator is very good because of its size, and I can use it around the eyes,” says Dr. Fuks. “I’m very surprised at the results I’ve been getting. Reaction by Viora is very good for treating small areas that you cannot treat with other devices.”
While he purchased the Reaction by Viora as a supplement to other technologies already in his office, Dr. Fuks says that he has found himself using the Reaction more and more in place of other devices. He also says that this is an ideal machine for aesthetic practices or medical spas who are just starting out. “I would recommend the Viora to a new office. It’s a very powerful system and it brings a lot of opportunity for skin tightening and body contouring. It is a top of the line system.”

Practical Dermatology Follows Viora Progress
The March issue of Practical Dermatology has a special update regarding energy-based technologies, including coverage of ongoing Viora studies of RF Reduction and Tightening. You can read the excerpt here:
Viora: Studies of RF Reduction and Tightening Underway
A study of cellulite reduction treatment using the multifrequency RF Reaction™ is now underway, according to Viora. The study, which commenced last fall, involves the first and only multi-frequency radio-frequency cellulite treatment device available in the US. David J. Goldberg, MD is lead investigator for the study, which Viora says “will contribute to the clinical evolution of the Reaction, and will enable Viora to optimize treatment protocols further.”
Compared to single-frequency devices, the Reaction’s targeted multi-frequency RF capability is intended to provide practitioners flexibility to treat and cover a greater spectrum of cellulite conditions and their triggers.
Another study, to assess the safety and efficacy of the Reaction with the ST Applicator for temporary improvement in facial wrinkles, has nearly completed enrollment. Neil Sadick, MD is the investigator for the study, which now has some subjects with up to six months of follow-up. Clinically, physicians report use of the device for post operative irregularities, loose neck skin, and other tightening procedures.

Viora’s Reaction – A Tummy Tuck Alternative
If you’re looking for a solution to your muffin top, or just want to tighten up your stomach for the upcoming bikini season, a March 19th article from LocateADoc.com highlights the benefits of Reaction™ as an alternative to getting a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty).
Reaction by Viora – A Tummy Tuck Alternative?
If you can’t seem to lose that belly bulge with diet and exercise, or you have a small “pooch” after having children, you may have thought about getting a tummy tuck. The tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is plastic surgery procedure that involves removing body fat and realigning the tissues around the abdomen to create a flat, streamlined appearance. However, there may be another option for men and women who want to achieve that coveted silhouette without surgery. Reaction by Viora is a radio-frequency, cellulite reduction and skin tightening device that can tighten and sculpt the tissues to in the abdominal area. This innovative treatment may be an alternative to tummy tuck surgery in some people.
If you have been thinking about getting a tummy tuck and want to improve the shape of your midsection, set up a consultation with a cosmetic surgeon in your area. Your surgeon can discuss the pros and cons of surgery, and determine whether you are a good candidate for the Reaction by Viora treatment.
How Reaction by Viora Can Sculpt Your Midsection
The Reaction by Viora system is designed with three treatment applicators. These applicators are able to reduce cellulite, decrease the circumference of various body parts, tighten the skin, and also shape and contour the facial tissues. The technology can deliver RF energy at four different frequencies – for a superficial treatment, for a mid-layer treatment, and also for a deep treatment. A multi-layer frequency combines all of these three modes.
If you are getting Reaction by Viora treatments around your midsection or abdominal region, the medical practitioner will adjust the frequency based on how much fat and skin tissue is located in the area. The F-Contour is especially effective for reducing localized fatty deposits in the love handles and smaller pockets of fat around the waist. The B-Contour treatment is designed to reduce cellulite and can also tighten the skin around the abdomen. Your surgeon or medical practitioner will determine which applicator and what frequency will be most appropriate for your body and to reach your goals.
Top Benefits of Reaction by Viora
Since the entire Reaction by Viora treatment is non-invasive, you don’t have to worry about many of the side effects of surgery. Some of the other top benefits of Reaction by Viora include:
- Reduces the circumference of the skin tissues
- Helps to tighten and tone loose skin around the abdominals
- Reduces bumps and the appearance of cellulite in the treated area
- FDA-cleared device
- Delivers immediate results
- Reduces edema and swelling of the skin tissues
More information about the Benefits of Reaction Body Contouring Treatments can be found here.
Since any fat lost from this area isn’t permanent, you do need to maintain a healthy diet and exercise regimen to keep the fat off for good. You can return to regular activities shortly after your treatment, and there is no pain involved.
Learn more about tummy tucks in our information guide, or set up a consultation with a cosmetic surgeon in your area to find out if you are a good candidate for the Reaction by Viora treatment.

My Personal Story As an Aesthetician
Greetings!
My name is Carolyn Stone and I would like to share my career story with you.
Carolyn Stone, LE
I am an Aesthetician living and working in Massachusetts. After working for dermatologists and a prestigious spa in Newburyport for several years I decided to start my own spa. My spa was nothing short of elegant. Hardwood floors, silk drapes and furniture even nicer than what I had at home. I had the clientele, experience, wonderful location, and I knew that I was a good Aesthetician. So, what more did I need?
After about a year into it, I felt like there was something missing. It wasn’t until I closed my doors that I realized my business just couldn’t survive on the typical esthetic treatments that I learned in school. Clients were looking for more and I didn’t have the high tech equipment that is available to estheticians that could increase my revenue.
That’s when I met Andrea Bingham, an Electrologist and day spa owner who was looking for an Aesthetician. Andrea’s Spa was using an IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) for hair removal as well as some other high tech equipment for various skin conditions. After working with Andrea for a while, I understood what was missing in my business and why hers prospered. Now, whenever I talk about my experience, I tell colleagues, with confidence, that if I had it to do over again, I would open a smaller, cozier spa and focus on having the equipment that clients are looking for today.
The good news is that today, if you are a licensed Cosmetologist or Aesthetician in Massachusetts, you are approved by the Board of Registration of Cosmetology to use Intense Pulse Light in your practice for the removal of hair only. Here is what I found:
Source: www.mass.gov
“The Board has been made aware of the increasing popularity in other states of non-laser Intense Pulse Light (“IPL”) Devices.…. Therefore, because of the apparent safety of these devices, the Board will approve the use of IPL devices for the removal of hair only by its licensees in appropriately licensed salons.…. Salons which wish to utilize these devices must abide by the following guidelines:
• You must notify the Board of your location and floor plan
• You must provide the Board with a copy of the User Manual for your IPL
• You must only perform Hair Removal with your IPL
• Show proof of training from either the company that sold your equipment or other IPL professional training (see Training and Education below)
Click Here to read the full policy on the Government’s website.
The best news of all about this piece of legislation is that, now, you can afford the equipment too!
Recently VIORA introduced an advanced IPL that anyone can afford, the Trios™. Developed by an R&D team with over four decades of engineering experience and know-how in light-based systems, Trios™ is a phototherapy system that offers trusted clinically proven technology at an affordable price. And for Aestheticians, the company offers special promotions as no paid consumable.
If you are interested to learn more about IPL in general, or more specifically about the Trios, feel free to contact me or Andrea at any time.

IPL Vs. Laser Hair Removal
Source (www.qesthetics.com)
Hair removal with lasers and intense pulsed light (IPL) devices is commonly performed in most dermatology practices. However, there have been few clinical studies directly comparing the efficacy of multiple hair removal systems in the same individual until recently. And some hair removal service providers announced that they prefer using lasers over IPLs, because they think that lasers do a better job of targeting hair follicles, and therefore reduce hair more effectively than IPLs.
But a recent clinical study shows that although hair removal with lasers is highly effective as expected, treatment with IPLs can cause less pain while showing efficacy equivalent to laser systems. This study was done by Dr. Snehal P. Amin & Dr. David J. Goldberg, skin laser and surgery specialists of NY & NJ, and The Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York, NY, USA.
In their study, Dr. Snehal P. Amin & Dr. David J. Goldberg evaluated the efficacy of four highly popular systems for laser hair removal. Ten subjects with skin types I–III, aged 18–55 years underwent treatments of unwanted hair removal on the back or thigh. All subjects were treated twice with:
- an ipl with a red filter;
- an ipl with a yellow filter;
- a 810 nm diode laser;
- a 755 nm alexandrite laser.
Evaluation of photographs at 1, 3, and 6 months revealed a significant decrease in hair counts (50%) and hair coverage (55%). There was no statistical difference in efficacy between the four different light devices. Minimal temporary adverse effects were noted from all systems, and the alexandrite laser showed the highest pain scores. The original article about this study was published at Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy. 2006; 8: 65–68.
Another study (Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, 2004; 150.) also found that the effects of diode laser and ipl exposures on hair follicles are similar. The minimum fluence to suppress the hair growth is the same for both devices.
Cellulite Reduction Mini Case Study – Post #5
Susan Treatment #5:
Susan has been exhibiting great progress over the course of her treatments. There has been a vast improvement in the tightness and quality of her skin. Susan told her technician that she feels so much better in her clothes and her jeans are fitting better and better every week. Susan’s had a ½ inch reduction in the size of each thigh until now.
Susan Treatment #6:
Susan continues to display great progress throughout her treatments. Susan mentioned that she is really satisfied with the quality of her skin and the tightness of her thighs which was her main concern coming in. Her technician, Jennifer, noticed that she still has a small amount of cellulite in the area and recommended that she come back for an additional treatment.
Susan Treatment #7:
Today was Susan’s final treatment. She has had optimal results over the past seven weeks. Her skin is firmer and tighter, and she has nearly no more cellulite in the area. After her last treatment Susan told her technician at Lasertouch Soho that she feels great and can’t believe the wonderful improvement in the overall appearance of her thighs and butt.
Lisa Treatment #5
We are thrilled to report that Lisa has virtually no cellulite left in the treatment areas. She has had excellent progress throughout the course of treatments and is extremely pleased with the outcome. Lisa’s technician mentioned that Lisa told her that her weekly appointments at Lasertouch Soho are the highlight of her week and she looks forward to her sessions! Keep enjoying your progress, and we look forward to your next treatment!!
Lisa Treatment #6:
This was Lisa’s final treatment for cellulite reduction. She has nearly no visible cellulite left in the area and her skin is undoubtedly tighter. When asked what she thought about the overall experience with Lasertouch Soho and the Reaction, she said she couldn’t be happier with the results!! She mentioned how she’d done it all because of a destination wedding she had to attend and it was well worth it.
