Having a Hard Time Feeling Gratitude in 2020? Leesburg, VA

November 12, 2020

Let’s be honest: feeling gratitude can be a challenge sometimes, especially this year. Some people simply have an easier time feeling grateful than others. But guess what? If you’re not a “grateful” type, it’s not your fault! Neuroscientists have actually done research on the subject, and certain studies suggest that your capacity for feeling gratitude may be in your genes.

Aside from the upcoming holiday, the reason we’re focused on gratitude is that it’s super healthy for your mind and body. Grateful people are more likely to take better care of themselves and be happier overall. And when you feel good, you look good!

Fortunately, gratitude is like any muscle in your body. You can build it up and get better at using it with the right exercises and tools. Here’s a quick list of easy exercises for boosting your gratitude this season:

Fake it till you make it
This is probably the strangest exercise tip you’ve ever gotten, but we’re referring to all the little behaviors you see grateful people doing. Smiling at others, letting people in line go in front of you, giving up your seat for someone in need, complimenting somebody: all these acts are actions of gratitude. So even when you don’t feel gratitude, acting grateful is a clever way to feel more grateful. This is supported by mind-body research — we aren’t making this up!

Start a list
Last year, we talked about starting a gratitude journal because research indicates it can boost your mood and your health. However, journal writing isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. We get it. So why not simply scribble down a list of the things you are grateful for as they occur to you? Jot it down on a sticky note or scrap paper. It doesn’t matter. What you’re really doing is training your brain to think about gratitude, and that’s the whole point.

Make self-care your #1 priority, especially during the holiday season!
You are going to get VERY BUSY over the next few months caring for other people’s needs. Buying presents, wrapping, cooking, cleaning, decorating…all the things we do to make the holidays a success are wonderful. But if you’re not careful, they will deplete you of energy and joy. It’s time to give yourself a much-needed break and schedule self-care treatments here at AVIE! It’s like magic, the pep in your step you get after your BotoxBotox & dermal fillers session or a BBL™ photofacial. You are truly doing something just for you that makes you look and feel amazing!

This is a perfect month to schedule treatments. Don’t miss our Black Friday sale! To learn more about our sale, call 703.870.3844, go online or request a consultation today.

Love Your Lips Again! Leesburg, VA

September 17, 2020

Back to school may look dramatically different this year, but your aesthetic routine doesn’t have to change! Fall is a prime time to refresh your look with a session of FDA-approved injectables, administered by our master injectors. Are you ready to plump your pout and revitalize your look this season? You deserve it!

Woman touching her lips

This month, you can love your lips again by saving $100 on Juvéderm Volbella® or Juvéderm® Ultra, two lip enhancers we love. Volbella is specially formulated with smaller particles of hyaluronic acid (HA) to reveal more subtle results. Volbella is a perfect solution for smoothing vertical lip lines and enhancing your aging lips without looking like you’ve had anything done. For a more dramatic effect that also looks amazing and natural, your best bet is Juvéderm Ultra. We can help you pick the perfect product for your needs during your personal consultation, so don’t worry too much about which one is right for you.

To help you achieve your best results, here are a few tips from our expert injectors:

Start with less.

If you are new to lip filler and concerned, you can always add more lip filler.

Keep your perspective.

It’s human nature to think that more is always better. When it comes to dermal fillers, many of us fall into a rut of thinking we need more when we don’t. Our goal here at AVIE! is to bring out your personal best, but not change your natural beauty. If we think you may need a break from lip filler touch-ups, our master injectors will guide you to other treatments to keep you feeling your best. If your lips look full, for example, we may suggest adding filler to a different area that may need a touch-up, like your cheeks or nasolabial folds, or doing Botox®, if indicated. We pledge to work closely with you to help you achieve results that look amazing.

We all love treating ourselves to aesthetic treatments because they are fun and exciting! It’s such a great feeling to see real results and love the way you look, isn’t it? And we can’t wait to help you do it! To learn more about lip filler or to schedule a consultation, please call 703.870.3844 or request a consultation online today!

Tips for Getting Your Best Cosmetic Benefits Leesburg, VA

July 16, 2020

We’ve been working hard to fit you in for your injectables sessions, and we apologize for any delay you may be experiencing as a result of this pandemic. Our goal has always been — and always will be — to bring out your absolute best in every way. After all, you can’t look your best without also feeling good on the inside. So, we’ve compiled a few tips for navigating your aesthetic needs during this strange and stressful time so you can achieve your goals and feel amazing throughout the process!
Woman resting her head on her hand

Tip #1: Start scheduling your treatments months in advance

We know this sounds like a lot, but it’s really not. Take Botox® and dermal fillers, for example. Botox needs touch-ups about every four months, while dermal fillers may need sessions twice a year or less, depending on the types of fillers you use.
Photofacials are another smart treatment to schedule in advance. Many of our clients schedule seasonal BBL™ photofacials to help reverse sun damage and reduce redness and dark spots that pop up and keep looking “Forever Young!” Routine treatments are clinically proven to help your skin look younger, more evenly-toned and healthier, so you really can’t go wrong with routine treatments. Plus, there’s no downtime, so it’s easy to fit into your daily routine.

Tip #2: Timing is everything

This month is a terrific time to purchase and schedule your injectables treatments because we’re having a big special. When you buy Botox (minimum 25 units), Juvéderm® or Kybella®, you’ll get $150 off. During the same visit, if you purchase a second product, such as Botox and Juvederm, you’ll receive an additional $150 off for a total of $300 in savings! This is only while supplies last, which is why you should call us now!

Stop correcting and start preventing

Getting ahead of the cycle of sun damage and aging is always the goal. Once you undergo a few aesthetic treatments and start enjoying optimal results, whether it’s smoother, younger-looking skin and fuller lips with dermal fillers or a more sculpted abdomen with EMSCULPT®, you’ll start realizing that it’s much easier to maintain your results with periodic follow-up treatments than it is to correct your concerns initially. The great thing about maintenance treatments is that they save you money because it takes less time and product to achieve your desired goals. Simply put, you’re not starting at the beginning — you have a higher baseline, and that means you’re enjoying buildable benefits!
No matter what your aesthetic needs may be this summer, we can help you schedule your treatments at times that are ideal for you, so you’re never stuck having to live without the benefits you’ve come to love. We can’t wait to help you look and feel amazing, so call us at 703.870.3844 or request a personal consultation online today.

Wrinkles Got You Down? Leesburg, VA

June 18, 2020

There’s no substitute for Botox® and dermal fillers. So, when we had to temporarily close shop this spring to keep you safe, we realized how hard it would be for our clients who enjoy an established injectables regimen. Fortunately, we are open again and running, and we can’t wait to help you smooth away wrinkles and replenish lost volume with an expert injectables session! It’s our passion and privilege to serve you, and our Master Injectors truly can’t wait to help you achieve your aesthetic goals!

To help you get your very best results, here are a few tips for your next injectables session with us:

Plan ahead.

We know you’ve been without your injectables for too long, but so have hundreds of other clients, so call us as soon as you can to schedule your next injectables session to secure your place. We also recommend thinking ahead and scheduling the next few injectable sessions in advance. With our help, you’ll be able to secure a spot in our appointment book so you never miss a touch-up when you need it. Some clients schedule their injectables sessions for the year. It sounds like a lot, but when you think about it, it amounts to three Botox sessions every four months and maybe one or two dermal filler sessions, depending on your needs. An unexpected benefit of advance planning is that it saves you money, because the more you do it, the less injectable you end up needing.

We can’t wait to plump up your pout with Juvéderm®, but if you’re going to invest in fuller lips, it makes sense to give your lips a little TLC beforehand and afterward with proper hydration and exfoliation — because no one wants a plumped and parched-looking pout. Another smart investment is taking care of your skin with soothing skin care formulas. Alastin®, one of our favorite medical-grade skincare lines (which we carry in our store and is available for sale on our website), recently released INhance Post-Injection Serum with TriHex Technology®, a post-injectables serum that’s specially formulated to help heal and prevent bruises and swelling after your injectables session. We highly recommend stocking up on this, and we also recommend stocking up on other results-driven skincare formulas that will help you maintain and enhance your results. Glowing skin is about strategy and involves a proactive skincare regimen based on the daily application of potent ingredients. We are obsessed with providing you with results, so we recommend consulting with us to determine which skincare products are right for your unique complexion needs. You will truly be amazed by the improvements you’ll see in your skin after incorporating medical-grade skincare into your routine!

Other aspects of doing your part include:

• Avoiding blood-thinning substances before and after your treatment. Blood thinners like alcohol, ginseng, ginkgo and garlic increase your chances of bruising.
• Hands off! The less you manipulate the area the better!
• Avoiding strenuous exercise or yoga poses that place your head upside down. This type of movement exacerbates swelling.
• Keeping it simple. The week of your injectables session is not the time to redecorate your house or plant a new garden. Give yourself time to lay low and relax while your injectables settle in and any side effects subside on their own.
We are so excited to administer your next injectables session! Call us today at 703.870.3844 or request a personal consultation online! See you soon!

6 Proven Treatments That Prevent Aging Leesburg, VA

April 23, 2020

Yes, you can prevent aging! While it sounds too good to be true, aesthetic advancements can literally help you slow the aging process. Here are three clinically-proven tools we use here at AVIE!, and how they may help you look your youthful best.
Woman resting her head on her hands
Forever Young BBL™
I was fortunate enough to be able to train with Dr. Patrick Bitter, Jr., the actual inventor of Forever Young BBL, a highly researched skin care treatment that is shown to change the molecular behavior of skin cells to act younger and healthier. A retrospective study from Stanford University revealed that people who underwent the Forever Young BBL skin care treatment for a period of several years had skin that looked 10 years younger than its actual age. Doesn’t that sound amazing?
Here’s what the Forever Young treatment entails: It’s actually two treatments in one: BBL™ photofacial and SkinTyte™ II. The photofacial is a light treatment that stimulates your skin with intense pulses of light. SkinTyte stimulates your skin with infrared energy. Combined, these two non-invasive treatments stimulate new collagen growth and help spur the growth of vibrant new skin that looks remarkably smoother and more evenly toned. The key to success with Forever Young BBL is patience, because you’re building benefits gradually over time. We get terrific results for clients who are committed to undergoing periodic or seasonal Forever Young treatments over the long term.
Botox® and dermal fillers
No anti-aging article worth its salt could leave out injectables! Botox and dermal fillers remain the two most popular non-surgical aesthetic treatments in the world year after year because they provide dramatic benefits with minimal to no downtime. In other words, these treatments are both easy and effective, and you can’t beat that combination now, can you? Botox works by relaxing the muscle movement underlying your wrinkles, preventing wrinkles from forming. Regular Botox treatments help stave off aging by preventing your muscles from creating those wrinkles in the first place. You can also smooth existing lines and wrinkles! Best of all, the more you do Botox, the less you need, making it an affordable treatment in your beauty regimen. Dermal fillers are also extremely helpful by replenishing lost volume to the face and lips. Similar to Botox, the more you do dermal fillers, the less you need over time to maintain your desired look. We’ll work closely with you to achieve your goals!
Skin tightening
Sometimes you need a lift and injectables won’t do. If you’re looking to pause aging and achieve subtle age-defying benefits in a matter of months, we may recommend Ultherapy®, a non-invasive ultrasound treatment for the face, neck and chest. Ultherapy is called the facelift alternative because it works deep down at the foundational layer of skin and muscle, similar to a facelift, to tighten and lift targeted areas. Except, unlike a surgical facelift, Ultherapy triggers tightening and lifting with powerful non-invasive ultrasound energy, so there’s no downtime! Also, results are gradual and subtle with Ultherapy, so we will work closely with you to determine if this treatment will meet your needs during your consultation.
Vivace™ Microneedle RF is our advanced microneedling with radiofrequency treatment that helps reveal smoother, tighter, brighter and younger-looking skin with a series of treatments. We love Vivace because it can be adjusted to your skin’s exact needs and goals. Sometimes you need a light refresh, and sometimes you crave intense skin renewal. Either and any which way in between, we’ve got you covered!
To learn more about slowing the aging process in Leesburg, Virginia, please call 703.870.3844 or request a consultation online today. Please also be aware that we will continue to closely monitor all coronavirus (COVID-19) developments so that we can take the necessary precautions to keep you safe. If you are feeling unwell, please call us at 703.870.3844 to reschedule your appointment, free of charge. If you would like to reschedule your appointment for any reason, you may also do so free of charge.
Be well!
