...has existed for over 15 years. It made its way to the United States from Europe utilizing aluminum-oxide crystals as the only abrasion medium that practioners and consumers have associated with microdermabrasion. Viora has chosen to help the evolution process along by presenting a new option, a crystal-free alternative.

Physicians have been aware that the aluminum-oxide crystals they've been/still are using are toxic, yet chose to overlook this important factor. For this reason, the patient's eyes, nose, ears and mouth are covered during procedures. Physcians have been skeptical to wear a mask themselves or have their aestheticians wear a mask for fear of "turning off" the patient/client.

Viora's Pristine microdermabrasion system, uses no crystals in the treatment process. Instead, a set of 10 stainless steel tips with industrial, laser-cut diamonds which are pressure packed on to the tips are used to perform the abrading. 9 out of the 10 tips have a different coarseness value. The 10th tip is a lymphatic tip which allows you to perform one of Microdermabrasion's most important uses.

People generally believe that a micro treatment is just about the peeling of the skin. What most fail to realize is that the suction is vital in promoting blood flow to the top layers of the skin thereby giving the skin that healthy glow. Collagen and Elastin are the primary biological reasons for this healthy glow.

It is table top size and whisper quiet, providing a soothing and relaxing environment. It is operated by our certified and trained technician, in the comfort of your own home or office.
