If you want to surprise Dad this Father’s Day with a gift he’ll never see coming, consider a gift card to AVIE! Medspa and Laser Center. A gift card is an easy way to jumpstart Dad’s self-improvement goals this summer. Here’s a look at three ideas that are sure to please.
Fat Reduction
If the special man in your life has a spare tire or under-chin fat he’d like to lose, he may be an ideal candidate for our non-invasive fat reduction treatment, CoolSculpting® or Kybella®, the world’s first FDA-approved injectable for submental (under chin) fat reduction.
FDA-cleared CoolSculpting uses cooling applicators to freeze away targeted fat. Once Dad’s fat cells are frozen, they are gradually purged from the body through his lymphatic system, revealing subtle, natural-looking results. Because this treatment doesn’t break the skin, there’s little to no downtime, so no one will be able to tell that Dad’s had a treatment, which is just the way he likes it. (Actually, it’s the way we all like it!)
Kybella involves a series of well-tolerated injections under the chin and reveals optimal results with a series of treatments. Kybella is a non-surgical and minimally
invasive treatment, but it does cause some temporary swelling, which is a sign the treatment is working! We can help Dad determine if Kybella is the right fit for his needs during his personal consultation.
Muscle Toning
Does the special man in your life feel okay about his weight but a bit bummed out by his lack of definition in certain areas like his abs? If the shelter-in-place order did a little “damage” to Dad’s body image, he may be ready for a non-invasive muscle toning treatment called EMSCULPT®. EMSCULPT uses HIFEM™ (high intensity electromagnetic) technology to stimulate thousands of muscle contractions where Dad needs it, triggering muscle fibers to strengthen and firm up, revealing a more toned and defined physique without the workout.
This month is the ideal time to shop for Dad, while we’re offering 25% off four cycles of CoolSculpting, and you can save $1,200 off a series of four EMSCULPT treatments or $2,300 off a series of six EMSCULPT treatments.
Hair Restoration
If the man in your life has expressed concern over his thinning hairline, a common condition called androgenic alopecia, then he may be a candidate for PRFM Hair Restoration. Here at AVIE!, we take the power of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) a step further by providing PRFM, or platelet-rich fibrin matrix, which is a purer and more potent form of PRP to help Dad achieve next-level results. Depending on Dad’s goals, he’ll need to undergo a series of treatments, but we can help him devise the ideal regimen for his needs during his personal consultation. The greatest thing about PRFM is that it’s totally natural, using Dad’s very own blood to achieve a thicker, fuller head of his very own hair. Dad can feel confident knowing he’s enjoying all-natural — and natural-looking — benefits without the hassle or risk of other hair treatments.
To learn more about these treatments and any other services on our menu, or to purchase a gift card to our medspa, please call 703.870.3844 or create a gift card on our website. You may also request a consultation online today! We can’t wait to help you!

Summer Prepping Treatment Tips Leesburg, VA
We are truly humbled this year to be named a 2020 Winner for Best Med Spa by Northern Virginia Magazine. But do you know what? We couldn’t have done it without you, our dear clients, and we feel truly privileged to serve you!
Now that June is almost here (can you believe it?), you may be starting to think about your summer prepping needs. If getting your body and skin in shape feels impossible right now, don’t you worry, because it’s our job at AVIE! to make your swimsuit-season prepping as easy as possible. With a little bit of strategic planning, prepping for summer can actually be fun and rewarding. Here’s a closer look at treatments that can save you time and stress for summer and beyond.
Laser Hair Removal
It’s not too late to schedule a series of laser hair removal treatments with us. As long as you aren’t tanning – and that includes spray tanning, self-tanning lotions and natural sun exposure – you can safely get treated. We’ve been performing advanced laser hair removal treatments here at AVIE! for decades and take laser hair removal very seriously. Our laser technicians are fully licensed and offer years of experience to deliver the most effective treatments for you. We’ll work with you during your consultation to determine the number of treatments you need to achieve your goals.
Vein Treatments
Spider veins, broken capillaries and other vein concerns on your legs are another reason why so many women have a hard time getting excited about wearing shorts or swimsuits. We think it’s time you felt good about your legs! We offer two types of vein treatments here at AVIE!: sclerotherapy and laser vein treatment. Sclerotherapy injects veins with a special solution, causing the concerned veins to collapse and gradually fade away in the weeks following your treatment. For smaller veins and facial veins, we can also use non-invasive BBL™ photofacials. We can help you figure out which treatment is best for you during your consultation.
Body Contouring
If you’re bothered by pinchable fat, we offer CoolSculpting® non-invasive fat reduction which freezes fat away anywhere you need it. CoolSculpting works extremely well for people who are close to their ideal weight, within 20 pounds or so, and who have bulges of fat like a muffin top or double chin. Once you’ve trimmed down a “problem” spot, you may enjoy even more contouring help with EMSCULPT®, a non-invasive muscle toning treatment. EMSCULPT induces thousands of muscle contractions in targeted areas, helping tone and firm up flab without having to spend hours at the gym. EMSCULPT and CoolSculpting are definitely not substitutes for a healthy lifestyle, but they can help you achieve your body contouring goals much faster and more easily than you would otherwise.
We also offer a wide range of skin rejuvenation treatments, including skin tightening with Vivace™ Microneedling RF, SkinTyte™ II, Halo™ laser skin renewal, ProFractional™ laser skin resurfacing…the list goes on! We can’t wait to help you look and feel your best. To learn more about our summer prepping treatments, call 703.870.3844 or request a consultation online today.

Give yourself a fighting chance.
There’s a reason your trouble spots are called “trouble.” They come easy, but they certainly don’t go easy! Pinchable pockets of fat are impossible to tame with traditional exercise or dietary measures. It’s a losing battle! So, if you’re struggling with a belly bulge or pesky underarm or thigh fat, it’s time to give yourself a break and consider non-invasive fat reduction with CoolSculpting®. A series of treatments can help you slim down specific areas so you can finally achieve your body contouring goals. You deserve success!
There’s more to body contouring than just fat reduction.
Muscles matter! You can tone up, adding definition and lift to your belly, buttocks, thighs and arms with EmSculpt® non-invasive muscle toning treatments! EmSculpt stimulates targeted muscles with non-invasive HIFEM® (high intensity focused electromagnetic) energy to strengthen muscle fibers and reveal a more toned, firmer appearance without invasive measures or downtime.
Boost your efforts by combining treatments!
Have you heard of the ProLon® Fasting Mimicking Diet® (ProLon FMD)? This ultra-cleansing, restorative five-day regimen takes the guesswork and stress out of dieting by including every meal, snack and beverage you need from beginning to end. This clinically-proven diet helps your body to “reset,” heal and burn fat more efficiently so you can make the most of your other body contouring efforts. For your best results, we use ProLon FMD to complement/enhance CoolSculpting and EmSculpt® treatment regimens.
Our job is to make you look and feel terrific, and we can’t wait to help you achieve your best! To learn about your ideal treatments, please call 703.870.3844 or request a personal consultation online today!

Boost Your Confidence at AVIE! Leesburg, VA
Your confidence inspires us, and building up your confidence is our main goal here at AVIE! each and every day! Because we are professional confidence builders, we’re also aware of all the little things that can hold you back from feeling your best. Unfortunately, one of the most common confidence busters is your body and/or weight. If weight loss or body contouring made your resolution list for 2020, you’re in good company! To help you achieve your goals and feel amazing in the process, here are a few insider tips:
Celebrate the journey, not just the destination.
Focusing on the end goal is not always the best course, especially if you tend to feel overwhelmed or are hard on yourself. Psychological studies show that even the baby steps you make toward a goal are incredibly powerful, helping to boost your forward momentum, increasing your chances of achieving your goal. In other words, every little step counts on your weight loss or body contouring journey, so don’t give up, even if progress seems slow!
Work smarter, not harder.
We’re so lucky, because nowadays, we have tools to help us trim fat and tone muscle. In the past, we were on our own when it came to achieving our ideal body, and we didn’t have many options! It was either surgery, drastic dieting and/or hours at the gym. Today, thanks to advancements, AVIE! proudly offers clinically-proven weight loss with ProLon™ The Fasting Mimicking Diet™ and state-of-the-art body contouring technology with CoolSculpting®, a non-invasive fat freezing treatment, and EMSCULPT®, a non-invasive muscle-toner. Together, these three tools can take your body contouring goals to the next level by helping you make improvements that weren’t possible before. It’s amazing when you really think about it, isn’t it?
Don’t go it alone.
Research indicates that pursuing goals within a group rather than by yourself helps to boost motivation and keep you on track. It makes sense! Socializing is a definite mood-booster, but there’s also an accountability factor at play. When you’re working out or walking with a friend, for example, you’re more likely not to skip it for fear of letting your friend down. We’d like to point out that AVIE! is also a part of your group! Our job here is to remind you of all the possibilities and solutions at your disposal and to reassure you that it’s ok to ask for help! And guess what? It’s our job and privilege to help you achieve your goals!
Learn more about body contouring and weight loss solutions that are right for you by calling 703.870.3844 or requesting your personal consultation online today.
Don’t Get Stuck in a Resolution Rut! Leesburg, VA
Happy New Year! We love fresh starts, and there’s nothing more refreshing than a brand new year! But as much as we love the new year, it can also be a stressful time, particularly if you’ve made a zillion promises to yourself about losing weight or getting a better body. (And let’s face it: Most of us fall into this category!) If you’re anything like the rest of us, and you’re feeling overwhelmed by how much work you have ahead of you to reach your goals, we want you to stop right where you are and take a few deep breaths. Inhale, exhale…ahhh…Feel better? We hope so!
As your partner in self-care, our #1 goal is to help you feel amazing! So without further ado, here are a few tips for tackling your body contouring goals in 2020:
1) Never go it alone!
Certain areas of the body are called trouble spots because they are IMPOSSIBLE. Case in point: the muffin top. How many years has this pinchable blob of fat haunted you? It’s not your fault! It’s a well known fact that “trouble areas” of fat don’t respond to healthy diet or exercise regimens. Or, if they do respond, the improvements are painfully slight and slow, and who has time for that? So, we are over the moon about being able to offer you a helping hand with several body contouring treatments: CoolSculpting® non-invasive fat reduction, EmSculpt® non-invasive muscle toning, Kybella® submental fat reduction, SkinTyte II™ skin tightening, Ultherapy®, the ultrasound facelift alternative, and Vivace™ RF microneedling.
At the risk of sounding silly, we like to think of our non-surgical body contouring menu as Santa’s little helpers; they are the elves of body contouring, working behind the scenes all hours of the day and night to whittle away fat, tone up flab and tighten and smooth skin…all without surgery and little to no downtime…to help you make noticeable progress and stay on track.
You can also boost your results with The ProLon Fasting-Mimicking Diet® (FMD), a new tool we love here at AVIE! ProLon is clinically-proven to help decrease fat and reinvigorate your body, essentially setting you up for optimal results with any of our body contouring treatments. Seeing your body improve before your eyes is a powerful motivator, and we truly can’t wait for you to experience it!
2) Success is one small step at a time.
Another big benefit to non-invasive body contouring and skin tightening, aside from the little to no downtime involved, is gradual, natural-looking improvements. There’s no drastic surgery or incisions to endure. Following your CoolSculpting treatment, for example, your body will flush away unwanted fat cells in the months after your session. With EmSculpt, your treatment areas will experience thousands of muscle contractions in one 30-minute session, resulting in a more toned, defined or lifted appearance in the weeks following your treatment (we achieve your best results with a series of treatments). Kybella, SkinTyte, Ultherapy and Vivace microneedling all afford gradual, natural-looking improvements. (It’s worth noting, however, that Kybella does involve some social downtime due to swelling, which is a sign that your treatment is working!)
The takeaway point here is that most people need a little extra help with body contouring, so you are in good company. And don’t be afraid to ask for help! You deserve it! To learn more about non-surgical body sculpting at AVIE!, call 703.870.3844 or request a consultation online today!

Timing Is Everything with Party Prepping! Leesburg, VA
Thanksgiving is next week, which means Black Friday is a stone’s throw away, which means it’s time to get yourself to AVIE! Medspa for your favorite medical spa treatments, pronto!
Kidding aside, when it comes to medical spa treatments, timing is everything. Here’s a look at the most popular services this time of year, and the amount of downtime you need to factor in.
Injectables
Botox® and dermal fillers are popular all year round, but there’s nothing more motivating than an upcoming holiday party to get you hunkered down for a session with your favorite injector at Avie! Medspa and Laser Center. Without a doubt, there’s no easier way to smooth away lines and look younger than with injectables. The only catch is that you need to pay close attention to your personal response to treatment. Every injection carries a risk of swelling, pinpoint bleeding, and bruising. Some people are more prone to bruising than others. Dermal fillers can cause swelling for up to a week following your session. For these reasons, we recommend scheduling your injectables a good month before you need to see optimal results.
Laser skin treatments
Downtime depends on the treatment. We recommend scheduling your Halo™ a full two weeks before any event. It takes about a week of social downtime for your skin to fully renew itself, and benefits with Halo keep coming as your skin continues to produce new collagen. So for optimal benefits, you may want to schedule your treatment a month before your event. If you would like both injectables and laser treatment, please schedule your injectables AFTER your skin treatment, because the skin treatment will break down your injectable a lot faster. We’ll help you plan your treatments during your personal consultation.
Fat reduction
CoolSculpting® non-invasive fat reduction offers gradual results for up to three months following your last treatment, so we don’t recommend this treatment if you want to see results right away, before your big event. You’ll want to schedule CoolSculpting a good three months in advance. For EMSCULPT®, which affords muscle toning and fat reduction, you should see benefits faster. EMSCULPT works differently, prompting thousands of muscle contractions with electromagnetic energy to strengthen and tone muscles without downtime. EMSCULPT can be successfully started about two months before you want to see results. The same goes for skin tightening with SkinTyte II™ or Vivace™ Micro Needle RF, which reveal optimal results after a series of treatments.
To schedule your ideal skin prepping treatments in the perfect order for your best results, call 703.870.3844 or request a personal consultation online today.
AVIE! proudly serves clients from Leesburg, Ashburn, and all over NoVA. See you soon!
