VIO Med Spa Advances the Next Era of Medical Aesthetics with VIO University

March 9, 2026 | Ryan Rao

VIO Med Spa recently hosted its VIO University from Jan. 30 – Feb. 1 in Fort Lauderdale, FL. The event brought together providers, injectors and industry thought leaders for immersive education, collaboration and systemwide alignment.

More than a clinical training event, VIO University is a cornerstone of the brand’s franchisee support model; providing franchisees with hands-on exposure to emerging treatments, new protocols and vetted technologies that strengthen clinical expertise and position units for long-term success.

“In the med spa industry, standing still means falling behind,” said Dr. Alan Durkin, Medical Director of VIO Med Spa. “VIO University is how we ensure our system remains proactive, not reactive. By convening nationally recognized expert and our own clinical leaders, we create an environment that sharpens expertise and strengthens the foundation of our brand.”

A National Faculty Driving Industry Alignment

This past VIO University centered on one of the most important drivers in modern aesthetics: 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.

Speaker highlights include:

Michael Claicar, CEO of NewBeauty Magazine, delivered a keynote on energy-based device trends and evolving consumer expectations.
Erika Barry, NP-C, led clinical deep dives on cryotherapy and SkinFlammation protocols
Dr. Akash Chandawarkar, MD, presented on RF microneedling mechanisms and clinical indications
Terri Wojak, LE, NCEA explored the future of professional skincare and integration within medical practices
Dr. Raheel Zubair, MD, FAAD, provided insights on topical regenerative aesthetics by Dr. Raheel Zubair MD, FAAD
Dr. Jonathan Cook, MD, FACS, led laser therapy sessions focused on MOXI and BBL applications
Jamie Villarreal, CLHRP, presented on the importance of Branded Facials
Dan Harrison, President of North American Sales at Rion Aesthetics, spoke about platelet-derived exosomes and regenerative skincare

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.”
