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!

Fall for Fabulous Skin Leesburg, VA
I love pumpkin spiced lattes as much as anyone, but my favorite autumnal delight is glowing skin. Yes, it’s another blog about the fact that fall is a perfect time to schedule laser skin rejuvenation treatments like Halo™, BBL™, ProFractional™, and MicroLaserPeel®, to name just a few of the leading laser technologies. (I work hard to bring you the best because you deserve the very best results!) In case you missed the memo, the colder weather is laser treatment time because lasers and the sun go together like peanut butter and mayo. In other words, they don’t go together!
Before getting your laser skin rejuvenation treatment, here are some important tips for achieving optimal results.
Wait until all your summer color has faded.
Laser skin treatments are intended to remove sun-damaged skin, but that doesn’t mean you should come in with a tan. To get your best results and avoid any side effects like hyper or hypopigmentation, you need to undergo treatment with clean, calm, sun-protected skin.
Be patient — and don’t pick!
After your treatment, you must never rush your skin’s renewal process because it will increase your risk for side effects! Halo, for example, involves up to a week of renewal. Immediately following your treatment, your skin will look bright red and feel sunburned. This redness will gradually fade over the next few days, developing a brown, “crust-like” patina. “Though it doesn’t look so hot, it’s a sign that your skin is literally renewing itself!” says Kim. “It means healthy, vibrant new skin is on its way!” Though it’s tempting to exfoliate any roughness or flaking you see, it’s vital that you avoid picking and fussing. “Your skin knows how to heal itself; it doesn’t need interference,” says Kim. But here’s how you can help: Follow your customized, post-treatment, medical-grade skin care regimen to ensure you will love your results!
AVIE! proudly serves clients from Leesburg, Ashburn, and all over NoVA. Call 703.870.3844 or complete our online consultation request form today. See you soon!

It’s Time to Get Glowing! Leesburg, VA
You know how I said in last week’s blog that fall is the time to focus on YOU with body contouring treatments like EMSCULPT® and CoolSculpting®? Well, it’s also the ideal time to focus on your complexion. In other words…
…drum roll, please…
…it’s laser skin rejuvenation season!
Now that the harsh summer sun is taking a breather, it’s the perfect time to give your skin some R & R. But I’m not talking about rest and recuperation. I’m talking RADIANCE and RENEWAL!! If you’re interested in turning back years of sun damage and improving the tone and texture of your skin so you can flaunt a lit-from-within glow, I’ve got two words for you: Halo™ and BBL™! Halo laser skin renewal and BBL photofacial are two amazing skin treatments that combine to reveal your best skin ever.
• Halo is a fractional laser skin resurfacing treatment that removes old skin and triggers the growth of intensely revitalized new skin that’s smoother, brighter, more-evenly toned, and younger-looking.
• BBL is a non-invasive light treatment that improves pesky pigmentation irregularities like age spots, sun spots, redness, freckles, and small veins. In other words, if your complexion is ruddy or blotchy, a series of BBL photofacials will do the trick with little to no downtime.
Now let’s talk downtime. Depending on the intensity of your treatment, you’ll start noticing benefits within the first week, with optimal improvements within the first month of treatment. Because Halo stimulates skin renewal from within, thanks to new collagen and elastin growth, you’ll experience continued improvements for months to come! Our clients from Leesburg, Ashburn, and all over NoVA are loving their results!
Of course, there are several other laser skin treatments to consider: MicroLaserPeel® and ProFractional™ skin resurfacing are also terrific skin-renewing tools. During your consultation, we’ll figure out the perfect treatment or combination treatment for your goals!
To learn more about Halo, BBL, and other laser skin rejuvenation treatments, call us at 703.870.3844 or fill out our online form and request your complimentary consultation today.

The 4 Treatments Everyone Is Getting Before Weddings & Graduation Leesburg, VA
We don’t have to go far to know the trends in the cosmetic world because our clients (that’s you!) share your needs with us every day, and we feel truly privileged to help you achieve your goals! Here’s a look at the treatments our clients can’t seem to get enough of, especially before any big event like a wedding or graduation, and why we all love them!
Vivace™ Fractional Micro Needle RF
To tighten and smooth skin on any area of your body, nothing beats the rejuvenating power of our newest and most advanced skin tightening treatment—Vivace Micro Needle RF! Vivace combines the renewing power of microneedling with radiofrequency energy to trigger your skin’s natural healing response and reveal smoother, tighter, younger-looking skin where you want it. Vivace also tightens pore size, improves skin tone, and is virtually pain-free! Best of all, there’s no downtime with Vivace, so this treatment is easy to fit in the week before your event without worry.
Injectables—for a fuller pout, sculpted cheeks & diminished lines
You know the famous wedding day saying, “Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue”? Well, we think Botox® and Dermal Fillers should be added to the list! Today’s modern bride and bridal party now include an expert injectable session at the top of their primping To-Do lists. It’s no surprise to us! Nothing comes close to the gratification and quick results that FDA-cleared injectables can provide.
Laser Skin Rejuvenation—for a more evenly-toned, radiant complexion
You can take your pick of laser skin renewal because we are proud to offer a complete selection of the most advanced treatments on the market. The BBL™ photofacial is a clinically-proven light treatment that stimulates deep within your dermis to spur new collagen growth and improve a bevy of stubborn pigmentation irregularities like freckles, redness, age spots, broken capillaries, rosacea…the list goes on! With no downtime and few, if any, side effects, the BBL photofacial helps to reveal a more evenly-toned, brighter, and intensely refreshed complexion. We recommend scheduling this treatment two weeks before your special event to allow time for your imperfections to slough off and reveal intensely refreshed new skin with a radiant glow. For more intense and dramatic skin renewal, Halo™ laser skin resurfacing helps to reveal smoother, brighter, younger-looking skin with about a week of social downtime. Be sure to schedule Halo a good month before your event! We also offer the lighter MicroLaserPeel®, which treats the outermost layer of skin with minimal downtime, and ProFractional™ laser skin resurfacing, which provides impressive textural and tonal benefits. Don’t worry if you’re overwhelmed by so many choices! We’ll help you determine the ideal treatment or combination of services to meet your unique needs and goals. Call today because advance planning is key!
Body Contouring—for a sleeker silhouette so you can look amazing in your dress or suit!
Belly pooches and saddlebags, and any other “problem spots” have finally met their match with CoolSculpting® non-invasive fat reduction. Going strapless? CoolSculpting is also FDA-cleared to freeze fat on the arms. And now that we offer EMSCULPT muscle contouring and fat reduction, you can also strengthen and tone your muscles or give your buttocks a firmer shape and lift without downtime! EMSCULPT needs a series of 4 sessions spaced 2-3 days apart, while CoolSculpting typically reveals improvements up to 3 months following treatment.
Of course, we can’t forget HydraFacial®—a tried-and-true pre-event staple for achieving glowing skin with no downtime. Discover all your options by browsing our full online menu of treatments. To schedule an appointment, please call 703.870.3844 or request a consultation online today!
