Have you heard? Microblading is considered a “game-changer” in the cosmetic world! Some beauty experts are even saying it’s better than Botox® for rejuvenating the face! Fortunately, there’s no need to compare the two because they are distinct treatments that provide amazing benefits in their own right. However, we do agree that microblading is a game changer. This intricate aesthetic treatment can gracefully transform your appearance, revitalizing your eye area with elegant, “wow-factor” definition.
This popular eyebrow treatment utilizes a special blade that is designed like a paint brush to delicately deposit semi-permanent ink just below the surface of the skin to enhance the shape, definition, and color of eyebrows. Performed with expert precision, microblading creates a natural-looking eyebrow that blends perfectly with your natural hairs, and lasts for up to 1-2 years with minimal to no maintenance.
Need we say more? The answer is yes! We always have plenty more beauty tips and expert advice to share with you! Call 703.870.3844 or click here to schedule your microblading consultation today.

New laser treatments!
So you can achieve the luminous skin of your dreams, I was thrilled to recently attend an educational seminar offering advanced training for two laser treatments at AVIE!—Forever Young BBL™ photo facials and SkinTyte™. These non-invasive technologies are two of the best on the market for improving the look, feel, and health of skin. But they mean nothing if they aren’t being operated at their full capacity.
BBL photo facials, the gold standard in IPL therapy, are clinically proven to reduce sun damage and reverse numerous signs of aging, including brown spots, freckles, lines and wrinkles, and redness. At the seminar, we learned key insights for treating vascular lesions, pigment irregularities, acne, and so much more. We also observed the most advanced techniques for administering SkinTyte, a treatment that tightens skin from deep within using non-invasive laser energy.
As you’d expect, we are fully trained and qualified to provide exceptional results for every treatment at AVIE! We consistently achieve the highest standard of benefits with BBL photo facials and SkinTyte. But even when you’re great at what you do, there’s always room for improvement.

How Do You Find Quality Skin Care? Leesburg, VA
My awesome clients constantly inspire me, and this month, you’ve inspired me to write about skin care products! So many of you are knowledgeable about skin care but remain confused and overwhelmed by the endless options out there, all claiming to be the best. From “physician-inspired” skin care lines sold through the home-party circuit to the products lining drug store shelves, there’s infinite variety in quality and cost. How do you know which skin care products are truly effective? And, even if they are effective, are they right for you?
First of all, let me start by saying that you have every right to be confused because it is confusing! Second, take a deep breath and relax, because effective skin care is easier to find than you think!
I’ve undergone years of training to understand the science behind healthy, beautiful skin. As a master aesthetician and registered nurse, I’ve devoted my life to providing the leading products and treatments for achieving radiant skin at every stage of life.
To help you find your ideal skin care regimen, I’ll share a few expert (and easy!) tips:
Stick with the professional stash.
We know it’s tempting to buy the cheaper drugstore brands, but they are cheaper for a reason. They contain weaker amounts of the active ingredients you crave like retinoids or antioxidants. Without expiration dates, they are also allowed to sit on shelves for unspecified periods of time, which means they can get stale and lose their potency, and you have no way of knowing it. When you buy your skin care products at professional offices like AVIE!, you can be confident knowing that you are getting fresh, highly potent products that are clinically tested and proven.
Ask for help.
Once you find a medical-grade line based on research and results, your next step is determining the right products for you. We are here to help you understand your skin and will help you pick the ideal products for your unique needs and goals.
Be patient.
Your largest living organ, the skin takes time to renew itself (about 3 to 4 weeks, to be exact), and can take months to start showing noticeable results. Diligent, daily product application paired with daily sunscreen use over time is the only way to achieve the luminous skin of your dreams.
Don’t trust your skin to just any old products. Knowing that the products you use are quality and geared to your needs is truly priceless. I can’t wait to help you find your best skin! At AVIE!, we carry a number of physician-grade, results-driven skin care lines, including SkinMedica®, Alastin Skincare®, and more! Call 703.870.3844 or click here to schedule a free skin care consultation today.

Party Season is Coming! 3 Tips to Get Your Skin Glowing Leesburg, VA
You have a ton of power and influence when it comes to the health and radiance of your skin. Everything you do to your skin—good or bad—counts. It may not show up right away, but it will!
Here’s why:
The lifespan of a skin cell is two to four weeks. Your skin is in a constant state of renewal, and it takes a minimum of six weeks for new skin cells to replace the old. Basically, the good things you do today will reveal luminous, show-stopping benefits months down the road. So don’t let your skin down!
Here are 3 fool-proof tips for boosting your skin’s radiance this holiday season. The time to start these habits is now!
Go to bed!
Beauty sleep is not a myth! Your body repairs itself while you’re sleeping, manufacturing new collagen, a powerhouse skin protein that makes skin plumper and less likely to wrinkle. According to an article from WebMD, getting only 5 hours of sleep a night can lead to twice as many fine lines as sleeping 7 would.
Befriend vitamin A.
This magical vitamin protects against UV damage and slows signs of aging by encouraging healthy skin cell production. Be sure to indulge in foods rich in vitamin A including orange and green, leafy veggies (e.g., spinach, sweet potatoes, carrots, cantaloupe). Topical vitamin A in the form of retinol and retinoic acid can literally smooth wrinkles and combat signs of aging by boosting collagen production and strengthening skin. At AVIE!, we carry an extensive selection of products featuring vitamin A, including lines by Alastin® Skincare and SkinMedica®. We can help you find the perfect products for your skin during your consultation!
Schedule smart skin treatments at AVIE!
Your skin deserves regular renewing treatments. From photofacials and Halo™ fractional laser skin resurfacing to microneedling and chemical peels, we offer a variety of leading treatments that can revitalize your skin by stimulating cellular turnover and triggering new collagen production.
Let your skin be the life of the party this holiday season by following smart and healthy habits! Start prepping your skin today by calling 703.870.3844 or clicking here to schedule your consultation.

Tame Your Turkey Neck! Leesburg, VA
Gobble-gobble! It’s almost turkey time! Now that Thanksgiving is around the corner, we can’t resist blogging about the dreaded turkey neck.
Here’s the thing about the neck. It seems to have a mind of its own! The delicate, thin skin of the neck is one of the first areas to show signs of aging, from lines and wrinkles to crepey sagging. It doesn’t seem fair!
Luckily, we have tools for taming this age-old concern. At AVIE!, we offer both non-invasive and minimally-invasive options for improving the appearance of the neck and chin. Here’s the lowdown on four treatments we love:
Ultherapy
Considered the facelift and neck lift alternative, Ultherapy® stimulates the deep supporting layers of skin with non-invasive ultrasound energy, triggering new collagen production and tightening skin. Without downtime, Ultherapy can help smooth and tighten skin on the face, neck, and chest, revealing younger-looking contours. We have seen amazing results, including my own!
Kybella
Kybella®, the first and only FDA-approved injectable for fat reduction under the chin, is an effective profile enhancer. It’s worth noting that Kybella is only ideal for reducing excess fat—not tightening skin. At your consultation, we can help you determine if Kybella is a good fit for your needs. A series of treatments is needed for best results.
CoolSculpting
This popular non-invasive fat reduction tool can reduce excess fat under the chin with targeted cooling technology. Without downtime, CoolSculpting® offers gradual improvements to your profile within months of treatment.
SkinTyte
This non-invasive laser treatment penetrates the skin with stimulating light energy, triggering new collagen production and tightening skin. SkinTyte™ can help improve your chin profile by firming up sagging skin and smoothing lines and wrinkles. We recommend a series of treatments for optimal results.
