Why an Old Skin Treatment Is Still Super Hot Leesburg, VA
Some things never go out of style. Take microneedling. This leading skin-renewing treatment was first used centuries ago by acupuncturists in China. Today, microneedling is thriving as one of our most popular skin perfectors, providing dramatic complexion benefits with minimal downtime.
The secret to microneedling’s success is simple science.
Healing is the most powerful beauty tool.
Microneedling uses tiny needles to create “micro” treatment channels in the skin, which essentially “trick” your skin into thinking it’s injured. This controlled injury then triggers your skin’s natural healing response, spurring healthy new collagen and elastin growth to ultimately reveal intensely revitalized, smoother, more evenly-toned skin.
Synergy is a sensational skin helper.
Microneedling pairs perfectly with a wide range of treatments, creating an unbeatable synergistic effect for amazing benefits. For example, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a concentrated portion of your blood with powerful healing properties. When microneedling is added to the mix, your benefits are dramatically boosted. Microneedling’s tiny holes not only enhance your skin’s absorption of PRP, but also intensify your skin’s healing response for unbeatable results.
We use a superior microneedling device.
We use SkinPen® Precision, the only FDA-cleared microneedling device in the U.S. It’s the most trusted and researched microneedling device on the market. SkinPen’s needles are sterile and straight to provide precise, “clean” treatment channels for superior healing and results.
By the way, microneedling also pairs perfectly with chemical peels and results-driven skin care products for enhanced absorption and benefits. To learn more about microneedling or schedule your free consultation, call 703.870.3844 or request a personal skin care consultation today!

Forever Clear BBL™ Laser Acne Treatments
Clear your skin with the healing power of light. Our Forever Clear BBL laser acne treatment uses blue BBL light to eliminate acne-causing bacteria deep inside your pores. Yellow BBL light reduces inflammation and acne-related redness. Infrared light stimulates the body’s natural healing process, triggering new collagen growth to diminish acne scarring and reveal radiant, clear skin.
Microneedling
This simple treatment tricks your skin into thinking it’s wounded, stimulating your body’s natural healing response. The result is brighter, revitalized skin with diminished acne scars, smaller pore size, smoother texture, and much more.
Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning creates the perfect canvas for impeccable makeup application while also enhancing product absorption to keep your skin looking healthy and radiant from deep within. This non-invasive skin treatment simply exfoliates your dead skin cells and removes unsightly peach fuzz so your skin is as smooth as silk. It’s that easy.

Natural Beauty with Mega Age-Defying Benefits Leesburg, VA
One of the biggest cosmetic trends of 2018 is natural beauty, making organic ingredients and all-natural, eco-friendly formulas all the rage. I couldn’t be more pleased! As a master aesthetician, I’ve long supported treatments that not only afford natural-looking beauty but also use the most natural of all ingredients—your own body—to bring out your best. Here are the highlights of our most popular natural treatments at AVIE! We can’t wait for you to enjoy the benefits for yourself!
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
PRP harnesses the healing power of your own body to reveal age-defying benefits to your complexion. PRP is a concentrated portion of your blood, which we draw and prepare in a matter of minutes in the comfort of our office. PRP is chock-full of potent healing agents that rejuvenate your skin at a cellular level. PRP can either be injected or applied topically to the face in conjunction with microneedling to help maximize absorption and reveal optimal benefits.
Ultherapy
Considered the facelift and necklift alternative, Ultherapy® is a non-invasive treatment that targets potent ultrasound energy deep within your skin and muscles to stimulate your body’s natural healing response, spurring new collagen and elastin growth. In the weeks and months following treatment, Ultherapy reveals tighter, firmer skin on the face and neck.
Microneedling
This treatment does exactly what its name implies, utilizing micro needles to create tiny treatment channels in the skin and trigger your skin’s natural healing response. As new collagen grows and fills in these tiny holes, a bevy of improvements are revealed, including diminished acne scarring, smoother skin, brightness, smaller pores, reduced fine lines, tighter skin, and much more.
Photofacials
Not all light is created equal. You should avoid the sun, for example, but wholeheartedly embrace the revitalizing light of photofacials! We offer the most effective photofacial on the market—the BBL™ (broadband light) photofacial. BBL photofacials can reverse years of sun damage, reverse pigmentation irregularities, dry up pimples, reduce pore size, enhance vibrance, and more with no downtime. We recommend incorporating photofacials into your seasonal skin care regimen.

All-Star Treatment Combos for Amazing Skin Leesburg, VA
I get it. You are too busy to even be reading this blog. So let’s cut to the chase and let you in on a genius medspa secret—combination treatments! Strategically pairing your treatments not only saves time but also provides incredible synergistic benefits, enhancing your results for your most gorgeous skin ever.
I love that word, synergy. It refers to the magic that happens when two treatments combine for more awesome results than if you were to undergo the treatments separately. In other words, two is often better than one in the cosmetic world!
For a luminous, head-turning complexion, here are three of our favorite synergistic pairings:
Dermal Fillers & Botox
It’s hard to beat the all-star combination of Botox® and dermal fillers. These two injectables treat different areas of the face, so they pair perfectly to reveal an overall revitalized, younger-looking appearance with minimal downtime. Botox smooths lines on the upper areas of the face, including persistent forehead lines and crow’s feet, while dermal fillers replenish lost volume and diminish lines and wrinkles around the mouth, cheeks, nose, and chin. Together, these two injectables can reveal months of radiant rejuvenation.
Forever Young BBL & SkinTyte II
Forever Young BBL™ photofacials bathe the skin in intense light to improve a bevy of pigmentation concerns, including age spots, freckles, sun spots, redness, and more for a more evenly-toned, radiant complexion. SkinTyte II™ treats skin with advanced infrared energy to tighten and smooth targeted areas on any area of the body with no downtime. Combined, these two non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatments are a perfect pair for revealing brighter and tighter skin!
Microneedling & Chemical Peels or PRP
I love microneedling because it’s such an easy treatment for refreshing your skin with minimal downtime. Microneedling creates tiny channels in the skin, spurring new collagen to grow and fill in those tiny holes, improving the health and appearance of skin. Having a chemical peel prior to microneedling intensifies this renewing effect, revealing deeper revitalization. PRP (platelet-rich plasma) also pairs well with microneedling. PRP is a concentrated portion of your own blood that is bursting with growth factors and healing properties for intensely revitalized, stunning skin. When applied topically following a microneedling session, the PRP benefits increase due to enhanced absorption.
