We know how to surprise Dad this Father’s Day—give him a gift card to AVIE! We guarantee he won’t see it coming, but once he realizes that he can finally tame his spare tire without surgery, get thicker, fuller hair with PRP Hair Restoration, or clear up his mottled complexion with a non-invasive photofacial, YOU will be his favorite for life!
Here’s a closer look at some of our most popular Dad-day indulgences. And while you’re at it, treat yourself! Our medical spa is the ultimate bonding experience!
Botox®
More men than ever before are turning to FDA-approved Botox to smooth away pesky lines and wrinkles on the forehead, between the brows and around the eyes. Dad will be amazed at how efficient and comfortable this popular treatment truly is, and he’ll be thrilled when he notices his younger-looking appearance within a week following his treatment.
EMSCULPT™ & CoolSculpting® Body Contouring
EMSCULPT is a non-invasive treatment that triggers 20,000 muscle contractions while you lay back and relax. EMSCULPT helps to tone and strengthen muscles on the abdomen or buttocks, but also reduces fat for a slimmer, trimmer and firmer look without downtime. CoolSculpting is another proven body sculpting favorite for reducing unwanted fat bulges without invasive measures or downtime. We’re a CoolSculpting-certified practice and member of the Cool Club, which means we’ve received advanced training and performed a high volume of treatments to become CoolSculpting experts. The big difference between the two treatments is that CoolSculpting is designed for reducing fat deposits, while EMSCULPT’s main focus is muscle building on the abs and buttocks. CoolSculpting also targets other areas including the thighs and chin. We can help you figure out which treatment or if a combination of treatments suits your needs during your personal consultation.
Laser Skin Treatments
We’re not sure why more men aren’t aware of laser skin rejuvenation, but we’d be glad to enlighten them ASAP! If Dad has broken capillaries on his face, redness, age spots, sun spots, or other pigmentation irregularities, it’s time for Dad to experience a non-invasive BBL™ photofacial. The power of BBL (broadband light) is truly incredible, targeting imperfections of the skin and revealing a clearer, more evenly-toned appearance with little to no downtime.
We can’t wait to treat Dad to the treatment of his choice, and we are so grateful for your continued support of AVIE! year after year! We work hard to be there for you by providing the best treatments and services on the market. Thank you for inspiring us and making us the top medspa in Northern Virginia!

Brides & Graduates, Party-Prepping Season Has Begun! Leesburg, VA
There’s nothing better than looking and feeling your absolute best during the special moments of life. It’s your time to shine! You’ve come a long way, and you deserve to glow on your special day, whether it’s a wedding or graduation ceremony.
There is a catch, though! Your skin takes time to renew itself, which means now is the time to start prepping. Advance planning is the key to achieving a head-turning glow weeks or months from now.
Here’s a look at common skin concerns and our recommended treatments and timing for your best results:
For blotchiness, redness, freckles, or uneven skin tone…
Try: BBL™ photofacials. Non-invasive photofacials are the industry standard for improving pigmentation irregularities. You name it, BBL can fade it, from dark spots and freckles to rosacea and broken capillaries. Best of all, BBL involves little to no downtime. Ideally, photofacials are a routine part of any results-driven skin care regimen. We recommend undergoing a series of BBL’s, scheduled about a month apart, for your best results. If you are interested in a photofacial to correct a specific concern before your event, we advise receiving treatment at least two weeks before you need to see results. (This is because dark spots like freckles will first darken before eventually sloughing off, which takes about two weeks.) Other treatments to consider include chemical peels, microneedling, and Halo™ laser skin renewal. We can help you choose the perfect treatment for YOU during your personal consultation!
To pamper yourself the DAY OF or DAY BEFORE your event…
Try: Signature HydraFacial! We love Signature HydraFacial because it’s a 30-minute indulgence for your cleanest and most intensely refreshed complexion without a lick of downtime! Truly! This multi-step skin resurfacing treatment uses patented vortex suction technology and water to clear away dull skin cells and debris while infusing your dermis with revitalizing peptides and nutrients. We are always amazed how such an effective treatment can be so gentle on skin!
For overall skin enhancement, including smoother, brighter tone and texture…
Try: Laser Skin Rejuvenation! Because we are driven to bring out your absolute best, we offer a full menu of award-winning laser skin rejuvenation treatments, including Halo™ laser skin renewal, ProFractional™ laser skin resurfacing, MicroLaserPeel®, and BBL™ photofacials. Each one of these skin rejuvenation treatments can be tailored to meet your skin’s exact needs, correcting pigmentation irregularities, brightening dullness, smoothing texture, and much more. We will help you determine the ideal treatment or combination treatment for you to realize optimal results.
Please note that we recommend undergoing laser skin resurfacing well before any special event. With Halo and ProFractional, we recommend undergoing treatment at least a month or two prior; with BBL and MicroLaserPeel, at least two weeks before your event.
In addition to laser skin rejuvenation, we offer microneedling, chemical peels, professional skin care products, and more! To discover the ideal treatments for you, please schedule a consultation with us today by calling 703.870.3844 .

Glowing Skin to the Rescue! Leesburg, VA
Ok, so we’re in the final stretch of a long, cold winter. If you’re feeling anything like me, you are in desperate need of a complexion pick-me-up!!! The dull, drab days of winter have no business dulling down our complexions. It’s time for us to fight back and reclaim our glow! Are you with me?!
My favorite way to brighten up and refresh my complexion and spirit is combination treatment with Halo™ laser skin renewal and BBL™ photofacial. Halo and BBL literally renew your skin from the inside out, spurring vibrant new collagen and elastin growth for brighter, more even skin tone, smaller pore size, reduced lines and wrinkles, and much more. This potent rejuvenating combo does involve some social downtime, however, so you should plan for about a week of laying low to give your skin a chance to breathe and refresh itself without the hassles of makeup application.
If you are looking for a skin rejuvenation treatment with less downtime, we also offer Microtherapy, MicroLaserPeel®, HydraFacial®, and medical-grade chemical peels. Don’t worry if you have no idea which treatment best suits your needs. That’s our job! During your personal consultation, we will explore your options and help you devise the perfect regimen to meet your unique goals and scheduling needs.
One last note about winter skin treatments: There’s still time to schedule laser hair removal treatments. We know summer is still months away, and that’s exactly why now is the ideal time to undergo your treatment! Laser hair removal typically takes months of repeated treatments to achieve your desired look. I usually recommend a series of five treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, depending on the area being treated.
While the weather is still frightful, why not treat yourself to something delightful!? Discover your perfect skin pampering treatment today by calling 703.870.3844 or scheduling your free consultation!

The Best Medspa Treatments for Winter Leesburg, VA
We can perform any treatment on our menu at any time of the year. Even so, certain seasons lend themselves to particular services. Here’s a breakdown of cosmetic treatments that are well-suited for the winter, and why our clients love them!
Kybella®
This chin fat zapper can tame a double chin without surgery, but one of the major side effects is swelling. This is a sign the treatment is working, so if you’re swelling, it’s a good thing! Unfortunately, no one wants to walk around with a swollen chin. That’s why we love performing Kybella in the cooler months, when it’s easy to cover your neck with a turtleneck or scarf.
Laser Skin Rejuvenation
Any laser treatment can be performed year-round, but laser skin renewal seems made for the winter months because it’s easier to protect skin from the sun in colder weather. Keeping out of the sun before and after laser treatments helps you fend off negative side effects and ensure the best possible and longest-lasting results. You tend to spend more time indoors and bundled up under clothing during the winter, which makes sun avoidance a cinch.
Laser Hair Removal
You simply cannot have tanned skin for laser hair removal. Any tan will interfere with the effectiveness of the treatment and increase your chances for adverse side effects. Whether your tan is from the sun or a bottle, any color is bad for your laser treatment. This is why wintertime makes perfect sense for treatments because it’s much easier to let your skin go natural when it is covered up under clothing. Plus, laser hair removal usually takes a series of treatments before revealing optimal results. Doing your treatments now will give you plenty of time to get the smooth look you crave in time for summer.
We feel privileged to be your partner in aesthetic and wellness treatments all year long! To learn more about the best treatments for you, please call 703.870.3844</a or ror request your personal consultation today.

The Lowdown on Laser Skin Renewal Leesburg, VA
I am constantly asked about laser treatments like Halo™ and photofacials. People hear all the buzz on laser treatments and how they can reveal amazing benefits with minimal to no downtime, from wrinkle reduction to more even skin tone. But with so many treatments out there, it can get confusing! How do you know which laser treatment is right for you?
Here’s a breakdown of common skin concerns and the laser treatments that best address them.
Keep in mind that many skin treatments overlap, so you really can’t go wrong. Plus, we’ll help you pinpoint your best options during your personal consultation.
Lines and Wrinkles
Lines and wrinkles can be dramatically reduced with laser treatments that remove the outermost layers of your skin to reveal smoother, tighter skin texture with diminished lines and wrinkles. For dramatic improvements, you’ll need intense skin renewal that entails more downtime than milder treatments. Some of your options include Halo laser skin renewal, ProFractional™ laser skin resurfacing, and MicroLaserPeel®. Another crowd favorite is our North Star Peel™, which combines a few laser treatments for even better results.
Pigmentation Irregularities and Acne
BBL (Broadband Light) photofacials are the gold standard for reducing pigmentation concerns with no downtime. Non-invasive photofacials can diminish redness, freckles, tiny blood vessels, blotchiness, blemishes, and more. The amazing thing about BBL technology is that it works deep within to not only improve pigmentation but also stimulate new collagen growth, so it can gradually improve the texture of your skin, reducing lines and revealing younger-looking skin over time. You may need a series of treatments for optimal benefits.
Sagging Skin
SkinTyte II™ utilizes the same technology as BBL to impart skin contraction and tightening for smoother contours on your face or body. Though not technically a laser treatment, Ultherapy® is another effective treatment for firming up lax skin on the face, neck, and chest. It utilizes ultrasound energy to tighten underlying muscle and provide an overall lift to skin.
Don’t worry if your skin concern wasn’t mentioned in this blog, because one of our laser treatments can surely treat it! To learn more about laser skin renewal and discover the treatment that perfectly suits your needs, call 703.870.3844 or click here to schedule a free consultation today.
