Viora Radiofrequency Technology at Aesthetica
Viora is a radiofrequency platform we use at Aesthetica for selected skin and tissue concerns. The specific device, applicator and settings decide what it's used for, its risks and your aftercare.
What Viora Technology Is
Viora is a radiofrequency (RF) platform with applicators that can be swapped over. V-ST and V-FR deliver energy in different ways, and may involve surface radiofrequency or fractional RF microneedling. The specific device, applicator and settings decide what it’s used for, its risks and your aftercare.
V-ST and V-FR Applications
V-ST is a surface radiofrequency applicator we use for some skin-laxity and tightening treatments. V-FR is a fractional radiofrequency applicator we use for some skin texture concerns. After your assessment, we choose the applicator and settings to suit you.
Treatment Areas and Service Pages
People often ask us about Viora for things like:
- selected skin-tightening or texture treatments within what the device is designed for
- areas of the face or body the applicator can be used on
- how V-ST and V-FR differ
Having a concern doesn’t mean you need treatment, or that it’s right for you.
Your Assessment and Settings
The clinician responsible for your care checks whether your concern, skin type, anatomy, medicines, any implants and previous treatments are compatible with the Viora applicator being considered.
At your consultation we’ll explain who is assessing you, what information we look at, whether you need a referral and how your consent is recorded. Coming to a consultation doesn’t mean we’ll recommend treatment.
Risks, Side Effects and Limitations
Treatment with Viora technology carries real risks and possible complications. Here’s a general summary, but it isn’t a complete or personal consent discussion:
- pain, redness, swelling or bruising
- burns, blisters or tissue injury
- infection where the skin is entered
- pigment change, scarring or changes in sensation
- a limited response
Before you decide, the clinician responsible for your care will explain how likely and how serious each risk is, how it’s managed, and any risks specific to you. No procedure should be thought of as routine, risk-free or right for every adult.
Treatment Course and Maintenance
For some treatments we may talk about a course of appointments, and we’ll review your progress before any further treatment. Having a device available doesn’t mean treatment suits you, works for every concern or is better than another option.
