As a skin care expert and master aesthetician, I get to see all the latest and greatest products and skin treatments. I also get to DO them!
One of my favorite skin treatments is a non-invasive light treatment that can make your skin look ten years younger than your actual age with no downtime. Sounds amazing, right?
I’m talking about the Forever Young™ photofacial, a clinically-proven treatment that can literally help your skin cells act younger and reveal younger-looking skin over the long term. The Forever Young photofacial uses broadband light (BBL), a non-invasive laser to stimulate skin cells and trigger healthy, new collagen growth. If you’re looking to reverse signs of aging, I recommend incorporating the BBL into your skin care routine. Some of my clients prefer to schedule a photofacial every season, while others opt for a series of photofacials in the fall to undo summer sun damage and revitalize their complexions for the long winter ahead.
Another amazing thing about the BBL photofacial is that it offers immediate gratification for a wide range of common skin concerns. In addition to age-defying benefits, the BBL photofacial can also improve stubborn pigmentation irregularities like age spots, brown spots, freckles, melasma, and redness, along with spider veins and pesky broken capillaries.

Laser Skin Treatment Season Is Here! Leesburg, VA
We love fall because it means crisp air, vibrant red, orange, and yellow leaves, and laser skin rejuvenation! Did I surprise you there?
Don’t get me wrong, laser skin treatments can be safely performed all year long. But as the weather turns cooler and the days grow shorter, we start spending more time indoors, making it an ideal time to partake in laser skin treatments that can make skin vulnerable.
Here are two reasons why I love cooler-season skin renewal:
Bye-bye, summer sun damage!
We all dream of a magic eraser that can reverse lines, wrinkles, freckles, and sun spots, but why dream when you can actually do it? The technology exists to reverse sun damage with a wide range of treatments, from Forever Young™ BBL photofacials to Halo™ laser skin renewal. I offer these top-of-the-line treatments at AVIE! because I’m obsessed with your skin. I want you look amazing at every age, and why shouldn’t you? You deserve it.
Our clinically-proven laser treatments stimulate your skin’s natural healing response, spurring new collagen and elastin growth to ultimately reveal vibrant new skin with a bevy of improvements, from more evenly-toned skin to softened lines and wrinkles, and much more.
Easier-to-manage downtime
In the summer, when you’re outside gardening or eating dinner outside on restaurant patios, avoiding the sun can be extremely challenging, if not impossible. Exposing your skin to the sun either before or after your laser treatment will increase your risk of adverse side effects, such as hyperpigmentation. What’s even more upsetting is the idea of undoing all the healthy benefits of your treatment by exposing vulnerable skin to the sun. Why would you ever want to do that? For this simple reason, the cooler months are the perfect time to undergo laser skin treatments because you’re indoors more often, wearing long sleeves and pants instead of tank tops and shorts, and staying away from direct sunlight.

Yes, You Can Reverse Summer Sun Damage! BBL Photofacials in Leesburg, VA
Now that summer is winding down, it’s time to think about skin rejuvenation treatments, especially if you accidentally got some “color” over the summer. Everyone knows that sun-tanning is a cardinal offense against your skin, increasing your risk of skin cancer and aging your skin before its time. You know the signs of sun damage well—age spots, freckles, sun spots, redness, rough patches, and more. While you can’t go back in time to prevent the damage, you do have the power to reverse sun damage with a BBL™ photofacial!
The BBL photofacial is an amazing invention that can help to restore your complexion to its former glory using the healing power of light. The photofacial is the ideal treatment for reversing common pigmentation irregularities, including redness and pesky brown spots. You’ll notice a dramatic improvement in the evenness of your skin tone, but the photofacial works deeper by stimulating new collagen and elastin growth to tighten pores and smooth skin so that it looks luminous and younger.
If reversing sun damage isn’t enough, the BBL photofacial can also help your skin look years younger. A retrospective study at Stanford University discovered that long-term BBL users had skin that looked ten years younger than its actual age. What’s more, BBL users had skin cells that behaved like younger skin cells, indicating that BBL photofacials rejuvenate skin on a cellular level. Pretty amazing, right?

Why Combination Treatments Rule Leesburg, VA
Industry experts predicted at the start of 2018 that combination treatments would be hot—and they were right! Combining cosmetic treatments to enhance your results is one of our most powerful tools for attaining optimal benefits.
Here are just a few of our favorite synergistic pairings:
BBL Photofacial & Halo
BBL™ photofacials are non-invasive treatments that bathe your skin in bright light to stimulate its natural healing response and spur new collagen and elastin. The intense light is also ideal for eradicating stubborn pigmentation concerns like age and sun spots. Combining this light treatment with Halo™ fractional skin resurfacing is a win-win because it stimulates skin at every level for enhanced benefits.
BBL and SkinTyte II
BBL and SkinTyte II™ are two potent non-invasive skin treatments that harness energy to stimulate the skin’s natural healing response. SkinTyte helps to tighten and smooth moderately lax or wrinkled skin, while BBL photofacials help to reveal a more even skin tone. Paired together, these two treatments provide intensely rejuvenated, younger-looking skin with no downtime.
Liquid Facelifts
It’s fairly self-explanatory why injectables work so well together. Injectables are formulated to work on different areas of the face, from the forehead to your chin. Combined, they help rejuvenate the entire face, taking years off with minimal downtime and discomfort.
PRP and Dermal Fillers
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a concentrated portion of your own blood containing potent growth factors which can rejuvenate and revitalize anywhere it’s applied, from joints to skin. When we add PRP to dermal filler treatments, it helps to lengthen the duration of benefits as well as enhance your results for months of younger-looking skin.
We are passionate about providing you with your best possible results. To learn more about combination treatments and other leading therapies at AVIE!, call 703.870.3844 or request your free consultation today!

Yes, There IS a Laser Resurfacing Treatment with Less Downtime! Halo in Leesburg, VA
If you’re shopping for a laser skin resurfacing treatment because you’ve heard about the amazing benefits, way to go! It means you’re one step closer to doing something marvelous for your skin. Lengthy downtime is not an option for most of our clients, which is why we offer Halo™ laser skin renewal.
Our newest and most advanced laser skin treatment, Halo is a powerful skin enhancer that provides dramatic improvements to the tone and texture of your skin with less downtime than comparable skin resurfacing treatments.
Here’s the science behind the Halo glow:
Hybrid technology
Hybrid means a combination of two things, and Halo’s claim to fame is that it’s the first hybrid laser, providing two types laser energy—ablative and non-ablative—to treat your skin at every level for dramatic results, including smoother skin texture, diminished lines and wrinkles, tighter pores, brighter and more even skin tone, and much more.
Fractionated energy
Halo is also a fractional laser, which means it treats a fraction of your skin rather than the entire surface, leaving a portion of your skin untouched. This “undamaged” portion of skin helps to speed the healing process without sacrificing the benefits of skin renewal.
Combined, hybrid and fractional laser energy result in amazing improvements to your skin with about a week or less of downtime. Older, less advanced laser skin resurfacing treatments require weeks of downtime for the same benefits. The other incredible thing about Halo is that it not only affords countless cosmetic improvements, but also reverses years of sun damage to leave your skin healthier in the process. What’s not to love about that?
To enhance your results, we recommend adding a BBL photofacial to your Halo treatment. A non-invasive light treatment, BBL (broadband light) is the gold standard for improving pigmentation irregularities such as freckles, rosacea, redness, age spots, sunspots, and more. Combined with Halo, your skin is stimulated from the inside out to renew itself and reveal a luminous, more evenly-toned complexion with no added downtime.
This spring is a perfect time to reinvigorate your skin! Are you ready for healthier, younger-looking skin? Learn more about Halo today by calling 703.870.3844 or completing our online consultation request form for a free consultation.
