As we age, our skin naturally loses elasticity and firmness, which can lead to unwanted wrinkles and sagging skin. But that doesn’t mean we have to leave it that way! Advanced skin tightening technology has made it possible to tighten lax skin all over the body without surgery. With many options to choose from, we’re here to help you better understand how each skin tightening treatment works and design a treatment plan best suited for your unique needs and goals.

Ultherapy®

Ultherapy is the only non-invasive procedure FDA-cleared to lift skin and tighten muscle on the face, neck and chest with non-invasive ultrasound energy. What makes Ultherapy unique is it can specifically target the deep foundation below the skin (typically addressed in cosmetic surgery) without cutting or disrupting the surface of the skin. For those not ready for a facelift, Ultherapy is a great alternative option, providing a subtle uplift on the face, brow, jowls, neck, chin, jawline or chest, and revealing gradual results in the months following your treatment.

Vivace™ Micro Needle RF

As the most advanced microneedling treatment, FDA-cleared Vivace combines microneedling with potent radiofrequency (RF) energy and LED light to tighten and smooth skin anywhere on the body, including the face, chest, neck, upper arms, stomach and thighs. While microneedles stimulate the skin’s natural healing response, RF energy heats the skin, enhancing new collagen and elastin growth. This advanced combination offers optimal skin renewing results, revealing tighter, younger-looking skin with minimal to no downtime. Vivace can also help improve skin tone and texture, smooth crepey skin, reduce blemishes and diminish lines and wrinkles. As new vibrant collagen and elastin generates, you should start seeing results within two weeks, with continued improvements up to six months following your treatment.

EMTONE®

EMTONE is the first and only non-invasive body contouring technology to target all concerns of cellulite and crepey skin without any downtime. By simultaneously delivering both thermal and targeted pressure energy, EMTONE works to break up connective bands of tissue and stimulate new collagen and elastin fibers for smoother, more youthful looking skin texture. Best results are typically seen with a series of four treatments. We will work with you to devise your ideal EMTONE regimen to reach your unique goals during your consultation.

An industry leader, AVIE! Medspa and Laser Center is the only medspa in Loudoun County to provide EMTONE, proving once again AVIE!’s commitment to providing the most innovative, cutting-edge and effective aesthetic technologies on the market.

Which is the best option for me?

Your best treatment option is unique to you, and we will help you devise a treatment plan that addresses your skin tightening goals during your personal consultation. Overall, if you’re looking to address textural concerns, RF microneedling or EMTONE may be the right option for you. If you want a subtle, gradual lift, Ultherapy may be your best course of treatment. If cellulite is your main concern, EMTONE may be the ideal way to go. Nevertheless, each skin tightening treatment is a great option for those wanting to reverse common signs of aging and achieve smooth, youthful radiance. You may even find, after consulting with AVIE!, that a combination of aesthetic treatments may help you achieve optimal results.

From cutting-edge technologies to award-winning care, AVIE! Medspa and Laser Center is your trusted source for the latest and greatest aesthetic treatments for improving your quality of life. So, what’s hot for 2022? We’d love to share with you!

Halo™ laser skin rejuvenation

If you’re looking to hit the refresh button on your complexion, it’s a terrific time to consider Halo! Does the “Halo glow” ring any bells? Halo is the world’s first hybrid fractional laser and is one of our most popular skin rejuvenation treatments for good reason! This award-winning technology is designed to renew your skin from deep within for long-term complexion benefits, including improved pore size, sun damage, fine lines and wrinkles, rough texture, uneven tone and more. Using temperature-controlled dual laser technology, Halo simultaneously treats both the outer layers of skin and the dermis, literally rejuvenating the skin from the inside out! Since Halo only targets a fraction of the skin, a perfect balance of treated and untreated skin is left to promote a rapid healing time and shorter downtime than similar laser treatments. Depending on the intensity of your treatment, you can start noticing results within the first week of your treatment. Optimal results will begin to appear two to three weeks later, as your skin continues to naturally heal and generate vibrant new collagen and elastin.

MOXI™ fractionated laser

MOXI is one of our newest skin treatments. We’re super excited to offer this state-of-the-art technology by Sciton®, the manufacturer behind our other awesome laser skin treatments (Halo, SkinTyte™ and BBL® HERO™). MOXI is designed for staving off the visible signs of aging before they appear, which makes it a wonderful “prejuvenation” tool. But it’s also extremely effective for reversing current sun damage and signs of aging. Whether you’re looking for a light complexion refresh or intense skin renewal, MOXI features three intensities to deliver tailored improvements to the tone and texture of your skin, including improvements to uneven pigmentation, light sun damage and skin aging. Plus, MOXI is safe for use on every skin type all year-round and is effective on all body areas: face, neck, chest, arms and hands.

Ultherapy®: the non-surgical uplift

Did you know that AVIE! has been recognized as an Ultherapy Ultra Treatment provider? What’s more, New Beauty Magazine recognized AVIE! as one of the top Ultherapy providers in the Southeast region. AVIE! has been performing Ultherapy treatments since 2012, and clients love their results. So, if you’re considering FDA-cleared Ultherapy, you’re in the right place!

Ultherapy uses ultrasound energy to target the deep, foundational layers of muscle and skin. By stimulating those deep layers, your skin is prompted to heal itself, which results in improved contours and definition. Optimal lifting and toning results will appear three to six months after your Ultherapy session. As new, more elastic collagen is generated, continued improvements can appear up to 12 months following treatment. It’s important to note that Ultherapy is not a replacement for surgery, but it’s a wonderful tool for pausing the aging button, so to speak, and giving yourself a natural-looking lift without any downtime. Plus, only one treatment is needed to see results! And to maintain your results, we typically recommend undergoing treatment every two to three years.

EMSCULPT NEO® non-invasive body contouring

Are you feeling discouraged because you have yet to make progress toward your New Year’s resolution to get a better body in 2022? It may be time to consider getting a little help from the experts (that’s us!). FDA-cleared EMSCULPT NEO is the first and only non-invasive body sculpting procedure to combine simultaneous fat reduction and muscle building in a combined 30-minute session. AVIE! is so proud to be the first in Loudoun County to provide this groundbreaking, no-downtime body contouring treatment. EMSCULPT NEO simultaneously emits radiofrequency and HIFEM+ energies to help sculpt, trim and tone your abs, buttocks, arms, calves or thighs. And the results speak for themselves: EMSCULPT NEO can help you build up to 25% more muscle and reduce fat by 30%! What’s even more, EMSCULPT NEO can also repair rectus diastasis and reduce visceral fat by 19%! Amazing, right?

CoolSculpting® non-invasive fat reduction

If fat bulges are bringing you down, you may love the idea of freezing your fat away (literally!) with FDA-cleared CoolSculpting, the world’s first non-invasive fat reduction treatment. AVIE! has been delivering CoolSculpting treatments since 2013. CoolSculpting is ideal for reducing stubborn areas of pinchable fat resistant to diet and exercise, areas such as the upper arms, buttocks, abdomen, inner and outer thighs, flanks and banana rolls with little to no downtime. Here’s how the magic happens: CoolSculpting uses advanced cooling technology to freeze and disable targeted fat cells, allowing your body to flush them away in the weeks and months following treatment. Thanks to advanced technology available at AVIE!, CoolSculpting treatments are now twice as fast, as quick as 35 minutes! Plus, we can tailor your treatment to meet your body’s exact needs and goals for optimal, long-lasting results.

The AVIE! team is dedicated to helping you live your most confident, joyful life! To learn more about our aesthetic services, please call 703.737.0197 or request a consultation online today.

Nowadays, we’re lucky to have so many non-invasive and no-downtime solutions for improving our bodies, but it can get super confusing! How do you know which treatment truly works and is right for you? How can you trust that the money you spend will be worth it?

This is where AVIE! Medspa and Laser Center can help! We offer both FDA-cleared EMSCULPT NEO^® and FDA-cleared CoolSculpting^®, so we know these treatments inside and out. Our experience and expertise are truly second to none in terms of providing the highest level of body contouring treatments in the industry. In fact, did you know that AVIE! is an academic training center for BTL Aesthetics, the maker of EMSCULPT^® Classic, EMSCULPT NEO and EMTONE^®? What’s more, AVIE! has also been a CoolSculpting-certified center since 2013, with 5,000+ treatments under our belt and counting.

With our body contouring expertise and credentials established, here are the answers to some of your most pressing questions about non-surgical body contouring:

Why do you have so many body contouring treatments at AVIE!? Isn’t one technology enough?

In order to deliver you the best possible results, we deliberately expanded our body contouring menu to provide our clients with the widest range of improvements. Though CoolSculpting and EMSCULPT NEO are both body contouring treatments, they are apples and oranges in terms of how they work and what they do.

• CoolSculpting freezes away up to 20% of targeted fat cells with special cooling applicators. This clinically proven technology focuses on reducing subcutaneous “pinch-an-inch” fat. This is an important point to note because it means you no longer have to be stuck with your “trouble spots” of flab! CoolSculpting is the extra help you’ve always needed to reduce fat under the chin, under the arms, on the back, in the abdomen/belly, on the buttocks, above the knees or on the inner and outer thighs.
• EMSCULPT NEO tones and strengthens targeted muscle groups on the abdomen, buttocks, inner/outer thighs and anterior/posterior thighs, helping you build up to 25% more muscle using high intense focused electromagnetic (HIFEM^™) technology. But that’s just the beginning with EMSCULPT NEO. This state-of-the-art body contouring solution also reduces “pinch-an-inch” fat by 30% AND visceral fat, located under the muscle, deeper within your body, by 17%. Before EMSCULPT NEO, visceral fat was only treatable with diet and exercise. What’s more, EMSCULPT NEO can help to repair rectus diastasis, a condition in which the abdominal muscles separate, which is common after pregnancy/childbirth.

So, back to the original question of why AVIE! offers both CoolSculpting and EMSCULPT NEO, here are a few more reasons:

1. You may benefit from both technologies during your body contouring regimen.

For example, if you desire fat reduction under your chin, you’ll need CoolSculpting. If you also wish to reduce fat on your belly and tone up muscles in your abdominal area, you’ll need EMSCULPT NEO as well.

1. Your body type may work better with one treatment.

Our goal at AVIE! is to help as many people as possible reach their personal best, so we offer different types of fat reduction to meet the most diverse range of needs. For example, if your biggest issue is pinchable fat around your midsection, CoolSculpting may be just what you need. However, if you have both pinchable fat and visceral fat in your abdomen, you may benefit from EMSCULPT NEO, which helps reduce both types of fat. Also worth noting is your BMI. CoolSculpting is ideal for people who are close to their ideal weight whereas EMSCULPT NEO is suitable for patients with BMIs up to 35.

Can EMSCULPT NEO or CoolSculpting tighten skin?

EMSCULPT NEO is a three-in-one body contouring treatment, offering fat reduction, muscle toning and skin tightening simultaneously. CoolSculpting, however, does not tighten the skin or improve crepiness. To achieve your best skin tightening results with EMSCULPT NEO and CoolSculpting^®, we strongly encourage the use of Alastin^® TransFORM Body Treatment with TriHex^™ Technology to be used twice a day to remove fat cells faster and improve and prevent skin laxity.

Which produces faster results: EMSCULPT NEO or CoolSculpting?

EMSCULPT NEO can provide results after a series of four 30-minute treatments spaced seven days apart. This means that EMSCULPT NEO can start to reveal potentially optimal results about four to eight weeks following your treatment regimen. CoolSculpting typically produces optimal results within 8-16 weeks after treatment.  (Note: Results can be seen faster with the daily use of Alastin^® TransFORM Body Treatment with TriHex^™ Technology, as proven clinically to remove dead fat cells quicker.)

Do I need CoolSculpting or EMSCULPT NEO?

This is the million-dollar question, and luckily, the body contouring gurus at AVIE! Laser Center and Medspa are here to help you design the most effective body contouring regimen for you. Your first step is calling us for a consultation. The rest is a piece of cake!

Valentine’s Day is around the corner, and we think the best way to celebrate is treating yourself to your favorite aesthetic treatments! When you love the way you look, every day feels like a celebration! Best of all, we are offering 20^% OFF our AVIE! Valentine’s Day Love Yourself Package so you can save while getting your glow on.

Here are all the benefits you can look forward to with the AVIE! Valentine’s Day Love Yourself Package:

Kissable lips!

Whether your lips are thinning with age or have always been thin, lip filler is a trusted solution that affords immediate gratification. FDA-approved Juvéderm^® and Volbella^™ are wonderful for smoothing vertical lip lines (also known as smoker’s lines), enhancing the fullness of the upper and lower lips, accentuating definition of the cupid’s bow and providing overall rejuvenation of the mouth area. Generally speaking, Volbella is recommended for clients who desire slightly more subtle lip augmentation, as it is made with smaller hyaluronic acid (HA) molecules. If you are looking for a more dramatic effect, we’ll steer you toward Juvéderm, which is packed with larger HA molecules to provide more pronounced results.

Glowing skin!

Without a doubt, the winter can be a tricky time for our skin. With the shorter days and frigid temps, our skin is prone to dryness and dullness. This is why we’ve included the Signature HydraFacial^® in our Valentine’s Day Love Yourself Package. It’s truly the perfect complexion boost for intensely refreshing your skin and providing a slew of radiant benefits. If you are looking to perk up a tired and dull winter complexion, schedule a Signature HydraFacial pronto! Many people don’t realize just how effective the Signature HydraFacial is. This no-downtime treatment targets:

• Hyperpigmentation
• Uneven skin tone and texture
• Enlarged pores
• Oily skin
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Dullness
• Acne/clogged pores

Why HydraFacial is so effective? We’re glad you asked! This multi-tasking skin resurfacing treatment exfoliates dull skin cells with pressurized water while extracting dirt and other debris with vortex suction, resulting in deeply cleaned pores. But that’s just the beginning. HydraFacial also infuses your skin with results-driven serums that are tailored to your unique needs and goals. These medical-grade serums help stimulate cellular renewal, brighten dullness and so much more.

What’s new at AVIE!?

Guess what? We’ve recently acquired a groundbreaking wellness treatment for both women and men called Emsella^®! Have you heard of it? Emsella is a non-invasive treatment that looks like a chair, which you sit in, fully clothed, during your treatment. This special chair stimulates your pelvic floor with electromagnetic energy, triggering thousands of muscle contractions — equaling 11,000 kegels — while you sit and relax. It’s basically a workout for your pelvic floor! Now, are you wondering why in the world anyone would want to work out their pelvic floor? We’ll tell you! Strengthening your pelvic floor has many wellness benefits. For starters, Emsella is clinically proven to improve urinary incontinence (bladder leaks), which can happen after childbirth or as you age. To date, five clinical studies have been published on Emsella. Studies confirm 95% of patients report an improved quality of life! What’s more, Emsella helps with all types of incontinence and general wellness.

We’ve got you covered this Valentine’s Day, so be sure to show yourself some love and schedule your treatments today! To learn more about our Valentine’s Day Package, please call 703.737.0197 or go online to request a consultation today. See you soon!

What does self-care look like for you in 2022? For some of us, it means smoothing out wrinkles and refreshing our look, for others it’s losing a belly pooch. For many of us, it’s all those things and more. At AVIE!, we are passionate about helping you look and feel your best in every way. We want 2022 to be your year to shine!

We put together some self-care ideas that we hope will inspire you to treat yourself this year!

1. Work smarter, not harder.

Almost everyone hopes to improve their appearance in the new year, but when it comes time to visit the gym or eat better, we can easily lose our motivation. We are here to tell you that you are not alone if you lose steam sometimes, but you’re also not alone because we can help you! At AVIE!, we have state-of-the-art body contouring and skin tightening treatments (EMSCULPT NEO^®, CoolSculpting^®, EMTONE^®, Ultherapy^®) that are designed to provide benefits while you lay back and relax. We’re not suggesting that you give up on your exercise because that’s healthy in so many ways, but if you are fighting stubborn fat pads that are resistant to diet and exercise, AVIE! offers technology that will help! When you invest in technologies like EMSCULPT and CoolSculpting, it takes the pressure off YOU so you can keep walking your dog or going to the gym, but you can enjoy it more knowing that you’re getting extra help where you need it. You no longer have to overwork yourself doing crunches because you know that EMSCULPT NEO is there to help you achieve your goals!

When it comes to skin tightening, you may love the benefits you can achieve with Botox® and dermal fillers, but did you know that you may be able to take your appearance to the next level by adding Ultherapy skin tightening to the mix? Ultherapy uses non-invasive ultrasound energy to tighten the foundational layers of your skin so you can achieve gradual, subtle tightening and lifting effects without surgery or downtime. Paired with injectables, you may be able to achieve the lift you’ve been looking for without adding more volume. Keep in mind that these are just examples! Every person is different. We will help you discover the ideal treatments for you during your personal consultation.

2. Never skimp on your beauty sleep.

There’s a reason they call it “beauty sleep!” Sleep is a secret beauty weapon that most of us don’t even think about, but when your body is asleep, your skin enters a magical repair mode, repairing damaged cells and clearing out debris while creating new collagen and elastin. Sleep also happens to be free, so be sure to take advantage of this beauty weapon! Of course, you can speed up your skin’s repair and renewal process with advanced skin rejuvenation treatments and medical-grade products like Alastin® Regenerating Skin Nectar with TriHex™ technology! (We have so many amazing products to boost your results, and this is where we shine!) We can help you design a complete skin care regimen to smooth wrinkles, brighten dullness, shrink pore size and so much more — and maintain your results for the long term!

3. Play more!

This may sound a little strange, but do you ever play? While our kids are naturals at it, play doesn’t come as easily to adults. But it turns out that play is as important for adults as it is for kids. In fact, wellness researchers recommend making plenty of time for play as an adult. Play is taking time to do something you love, without any reason or agenda, just for the sake of enjoying yourself. At AVIE!, we consider our line of work “play” because we enjoy it so much! Interacting with you, our awesome clients, is so rewarding! We also consider undergoing our treatments as a form of play. When you take the time to treat yourself to an experience that’s just for you, it’s pretty exciting and fun! So really any of our aesthetic treatments can be considered play!

At AVIE! Medspa and Laser Center, we are your partners in living life to its fullest! Treat yourself to head-turning radiance and body confidence this year — and PLAY! You can start by giving us a call at 703.737.0197 or requesting a consultation online today.

Now that it’s 2022 and you can get started on your resolutions, we just have one question for you: Are you ready to get your glow on?

At AVIE! Medspa and Laser Center, we are serious about your skin, so much so that we’ve invested in best-in-class technologies to help you brighten, smooth and tighten your complexion with incredible ease. At AVIE!, your aesthetic wishes are our command!

Your first step is sitting down with us in a personal consultation to carefully review your skin concerns and goals. Together, we’ll design a skin care regimen that strategically combines our technologies and skin care products to deliver the highest possible level of results. To make your glow-getting experience even more enjoyable, we’re offering Refresh & Renew specials so you can SAVE while improving your complexion this month:

• 20% OFF Halo^™ Face & Neck Laser Skin Resurfacing Bundle (bundle includes skin care products)

• 20% OFF BBLM^® HERO^™ Series of 3 Treatments for the Body including Arms, Décolleté or Legs
• Save $450 MOXI^™ Series of 3 Treatments

What does your skin care strategy look like? Here’s a look at our Refresh & Renew treatments to get you started:

Have you heard of the Halo^™ glow?

Halo is the world’s first hybrid fractional laser and is designed to refresh and renew your skin from deep within for long-term complexion benefits, including improved pore size, sun damage, fine lines and wrinkles, rough texture, uneven tone and more! Halo uses temperature-controlled dual laser technology to simultaneously treat both the outer layers of skin and the dermis, literally rejuvenating the skin from the inside out! Since only a fraction of your skin is being targeted, Halo promotes a rapid healing time and shorter downtime than similar laser treatments.

To boost your Halo benefits, we often pair it with BBL^® HERO^™ photofacial or the traditional BBL^® photofacial. Both technologies are amazing. While Halo mainly affords textural improvements, BBL focuses on tone, reducing dark spots and redness and revealing more evenly toned skin. So, when you combine these two treatments, you’re getting a full spectrum of skin renewing benefits and the fullest range of improvements possible. BBL HERO delivers results four times faster with three times the peak power as traditional IPL (intense pulsed light) treatments, so you know you’re going to achieve amazing results!

MOXI^™ — Have you heard of “prejuvenation?”

No matter if you’re in your 20s or 50s, you can take advantage of MOXI, a state-of-the-art “prejuvenation” tool that helps you stave off visible signs of aging before they even appear! MOXI is a fractionated laser that can help you can maintain ageless radiance with a light complexion refresh or an intense skin renewal. This gentle, low-to-no downtime treatment is safe for use on every skin type all year-round. Using three intensities, MOXI delivers tailored improvements to the tone and texture of your skin, including improvements to uneven pigmentation, light sun damage and skin aging.

MOXI is also a fabulous tool for maintaining the results of more aggressive laser or light treatments. For example, if you’ve recently had Halo, we may recommend MOXI three to six months following your treatment to help maintain your glow. Or, if you’re undergoing Ultherapy® skin tightening, for another example, we may pair it with MOXI or Halo so you can achieve skin revitalization at every level, from the inside out.

If you’re having a hard time deciding which skin treatments you need, never fear! Our team is here to do all the heavy lifting for you! All you need to do is schedule your consultation and we can help you design the ideal skin care regimen for you!

Healthier, more vibrant skin is yours for the taking, so schedule your personal consultation today! To learn more about our skin rejuvenation treatments, please call 703.737.0197 or request a consultation online today.
