Heading Back to the Office? Show Your Body Some Love! Leesburg, VA

August 12, 2021

As many of us are starting to work in an office again after a stressful year in quarantine and distancing, we challenge you to start loving your body exactly as you are. We know that may sound a little strange coming from a medspa, but our services and body positivity truly go hand in hand! Here’s why.

Body positivity is healthy.

Heading back to the office should lead to increased feelings of self-consciousness, but we know that can be easier said than done! That’s why we’re here to remind you that self-acceptance has many proven health benefits, including decreasing stress and boosting overall happiness and confidence. Body positivity is about more than just loving your body. It involves accepting every aspect of yourself, from your hair to your skin to your personality and beyond. The team at AVIE! Medspa & Laser Center wants you to know that you are perfect and beautiful exactly as you are, even if you don’t always feel that way.

You can enjoy aesthetic services while embracing body positivity.

As we venture back into the office and more in-person events, it’s important to remember that loving and accepting yourself doesn’t mean you can’t also desire aesthetic treatments — they actually complement each other perfectly! Embracing body positivity means you can be happier and more content with your aesthetic treatments and results. Would it help you feel happier, more confident or more relaxed to treat yourself to a HydraFacial®, chemical peel or non-invasive body contouring? Then we encourage you to go for it! Loving yourself is a healthy starting point for every service we offer because they are all self-care tools intended to enhance your life, not change who you are.

Sometimes, all we need is a push to get started.

We are all our own harshest critics — it’s so easy to focus on the negatives and our perceived “faults”! If you can’t remember a time when you looked in the mirror and didn’t have a negative thought about yourself, then it is definitely time to embrace body positivity and invest in self-care with expertly administered aesthetic treatments here in Leesburg.

Our team of passionate, highly skilled and supportive staff at this female-owned and operated practice could be the extra push you need toward self-love and confidence. For example, one of our favorite things to do is combine much-needed self-care with savings. That’s why, this month we’re offering one FREE CoolSculpting^® treatment when you purchase three OR you could save up to $500 when you book an EMSCULPT NEO^® consultation with us this month!

CoolSculpting non-invasive fat reduction can help you slim and trim notoriously hard-to-lose areas of excess fat that could be keeping you from feeling confident or comfortable with your contours. CoolSculpting uses a fat-freezing process called cryolipolysis to gradually freeze and disable the targeted fat cells, resulting in natural-looking results with a series of treatments and little to no downtime!

EMSCULPT NEO non-invasive body sculpting can help you see noticeably more toned and firmer abs, thighs, calves, arms or buttocks without spending countless hours at the gym. EMSCULPT NEO is actually the first and only non-invasive body sculpting treatment to simultaneously reduce fat and build muscle in four 30-minute treatments spaced about one week apart. Best of all, it requires no downtime!

If you’re looking for more self-care ideas, we’ve got a bunch, including:
● Botox^®
● Dermal fillers
● Kybella^® submental fat (chin) reduction
● Microneedling
● Laser skin rejuvenation
● Vivace^™ Micro Needle RF, and so much more.

To get started, just give us a call at (703) 870-3844 or request a consultation online today.

Love Yourself This Valentine’s Day! Leesburg, VA

February 4, 2021

No offense to all the romantic companions out there, but we’d like to switch things up this Valentine’s Day by moving the focus away from your loved ones and onto YOU. The way we see it, you’ve been through the ringer this past year and deserve major props. But do you know what’s even better than props? Your favorite aesthetic treatments at discounted rates! Now we’re talking, right?

Woman giving herself a hug

If you’re looking for ways to demonstrate self-love, you’ve come to the right place. At AVIE!, self-love is our specialty. This month, we’re offering a Valentine’s Day Love Yourself Package! This special includes 20% off the total when you purchase a combination treatment with:
• 1 mL of lip filler (with either Volbella^® XC or Juvéderm^® Ultra XC)
• Signature HydraFacial MD^®
• 2 oz. SkinMedica^® HA5 Rejuvenating Hydrator
When you purchase this package, you’ll also receive a FREE 1 oz. (travel size) SkinMedica® HA5 Rejuvenating Hydrator ($120 value, while supplies last).

Here are the details!

Lip Filler

We may talk about getting kissable lips for Valentine’s Day, but the real reason women get lip fillers is to please themselves! Don’t get us wrong — having kissable lips is great, it’s just not always what motivates us. Both Volbella XC and Juvéderm Ultra XC are made of a smooth gel packed with a modified form of hyaluronic acid (HA) molecules. The difference is that Volbella XC’s HA molecules are purposely smaller in size to deliver a more subtle enhancement than Juvéderm Ultra XC. If you’re looking to smooth away vertical lip lines (smoker’s lines) and enhance your lips just ever so slightly, Volbella XC is a wonderful choice. Juvéderm Ultra XC is ideal for those seeking more pronounced augmentation. No matter which filler you choose, we’ll tailor your treatment to your precise needs and goals.

Medical-Grade Skin Care

There’s no substitute for results-driven and clinically proven treatments and products, and that’s why we offer only medical-grade skin care at AVIE!, including HydraFacial MD and physician-grade skin care products. If you want results, you need to stick with the treatments and products that deliver. As you probably already know, HydraFacial MD delivers! This patented skin resurfacing treatment uses vortex suction and water to deep-clean pores while also infusing your dermis with revitalizing ingredients tailored to your complexion’s exact needs. This no-downtime skin resurfacing treatment reveals smoother, brighter, clearer and more evenly toned skin without any downtime.

To boost your glow-getting benefits, you’ll need medical-grade skin care, and SkinMedica is one such skin care line. This month, we’re throwing in a SkinMedica gift with the purchase of our Valentine’s Day Love Yourself Package. You’ll get a FREE 1 oz. SkinMedica HA5 Rejuvenating Hydrator ($120 value, while supplies last). HA5 is amazing! This potent serum blends five types of hydrators that immediately replenish your skin’s hyaluronic acid levels, smoothing lines, wrinkles and rough texture. Ideal for all skin types, this serum is also fragrance free and boosts the overall health of your skin by providing a staggering eight hours of continuous moisture.

Don’t forget that we also offer a wide range of other medical-grade skin care lines, including Alastin^®, Revision^®, IMAGE Skincare®, and Cyspera^® for hyperpigmentation and melasma conditions. To get your glow on, we also offer a variety of skin treatments, from Vivace^™ microneedle RF to Halo^™ fractional laser skin resurfacing. We’ve got your skin covered!

So, the question remains: What will you do to love yourself this season? We can’t wait to help you find out! To learn more about our Valentine’s Day special or other treatments and products, please call 703.870.3844, go online or request a consultation today. See you soon!

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!

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.
