Yup, you bet it is! Here at AVIE!, we offer the purest form of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) using Platelet-Rich Fibrin Matrix (PRFM), a highly-concentrated portion of your blood that is chock-full of potent healing properties and growth factors. PRFM helps to revitalize and heal any area of the body. Applied to your skin, PRFM helps to improve skin texture, tone, clarity, volume, and much more. And you can thank your body for the benefits, since it’s your amazing blood that does it all!
If you’re interested in experiencing the all-natural healing power of your body, it’s time to explore our PRP Facial and PRP Facelift!
If skin texture is a primary concern, try…
The PRP Facial.
The PRP Facial combines PRFM with microneedling for an intense boost of skin renewal. Microneedling creates thousands of tiny holes, triggering new skin growth while also helping to enhance your skin’s absorption of PRFM. This dynamic duo of rejuvenation truly packs a punch, helping to smooth away acne scars, rough texture, crepey skin, and stretch marks. For your best textural improvements, you’ll need a series of treatments. The PRP Facial also affords brighter, more evenly-toned skin, so you’ll enjoy an overall younger-looking radiance without foreign substances or extensive downtime.
If lost facial volume bothers you, try…
The PRP Facelift
We will gently inject PRFM into targeted areas of your face, triggering new cellular growth from deep within, boosting blood flow, and replenishing lost volume for the most natural-looking rejuvenation with minimal downtime. Many clients love combining their PRFM treatments with dermal fillers such as Juvéderm®, to maximize their rejuvenating benefits. But you can enjoy the benefits of PRFM on its own, too. The choice is yours! And it’s not a bad choice to have, is it?
Don’t forget that there many ways to boost your benefits by combining your PRP with other treatments. For example, Vivace™ Fractional Micro Needle RF is our newest microneedling device and considered best-in-class for tightening skin and rejuvenating your complexion. Paired with PRFM, you’ll love your age-defying results!

How to Enhance the Benefits of Your Next Injectables Session! Leesburg, VA
We can’t emphasize enough that the skill of your cosmetic injector makes all the difference with your injectable treatment. That’s why our team at AVIE! Medspa has undergone advanced training and offers decades of experience to help you achieve optimal benefits safely and consistently. You deserve the best injectable experience, and we are totally obsessed with providing it! Did you know that we were recently selected by NorthernVirginia as one of the best medspas in Best of NoVA 2019? We are so grateful for your continued support these past 10 years in business!
That said, there are a few things you, our amazing clients, can do to help boost your Botox® and dermal filler benefits.
1. Start using retinoids in your skin care regimen.
Retinoids or retinol are derivatives of vitamin A, the most powerful and widely-studied skin revitalizing ingredient.. Incorporating retinol or a retinoid into your daily skin care routine doesn’t work magic overnight, but slowly goes to work speeding cellular turnover, prompting new collagen growth, and strengthening your skin for a smoother, younger-looking complexion over the long term. Injectables combined with daily topical vitamin A formulations is a potent skin-renewing combo that won’t fail you! (The only catch is to avoid applying your vitamin A products for the first 24 to 48 hours following your treatment, because it can irritate your injection sites.)
2. Avoid aspirin, alcohol, and the 4 G’s.
All blood-thinning substances, including alcohol and aspiring or non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDS), are a big no-no because they will increase your risk of bruising and slow your recovery. The 4 G’s are ginkgo, ginseng, garlic, and ginger. These natural herbs will thin your blood, too! Maybe we should call it the 5 G’s, because green tea is a blood thinner as well.
3. Prepare for a few days of downtime.
Even though injectables are officially a minimal to no downtime treatment, do yourself a favor and schedule ample buffer time after your treatment, so you can stay home and relax, applying ice every hour or so when swelling is highest.
4. Avoid getting hot!
No saunas, intense workouts, or yoga, please! Anything that increases blood flow and dilates your blood vessels will exacerbate your symptoms and make your swelling and bruising worse.

It’s Never Too Late for an Awesome Summer! Leesburg,VA
Confidence is everything. When you feel confident, it’s so much easier to relax and enjoy the moment, isn’t it? I think it’s because when you’re busy feeling your best, you’re not thinking about the little things or imperfections that make you feel lousy, like razor burn or belly fat. You’re just happy being you!
In case you didn’t know, I’m in the business of confidence boosting here at AVIE! To boost your confidence this summer, here are a few of my favorite treatments:
Laser hair removal
If you’re on the fence about laser hair removal, I urge you to take the plunge and schedule a series of 5 laser hair removal treatments this year. It will change your life! (Seriously!) While summer isn’t an ideal time for laser hair removal since your skin needs to be tan-free, this treatment is a MUST to fit into your grooming routine whenever you can. So many women I know have struggled their entire lives with painful and embarrassing ingrowns or razor burn (on their bikini line, especially). This tricky area is sensitive and prone to aesthetic issues, which is why I encourage laser hair removal because it will set you free! Imagine being able to walk the beach or pool without a cover up this year because you don’t feel compelled to cover up your imperfections? You deserve to enjoy smooth, carefree comfort that’s long-lasting, not temporary, and you can find it with laser hair removal right here in Leesburg.
Skin tightening
If you are bothered by certain lines or crepey skin that’s aging you before your time, we can help you look as young as you feel with a wide range of solutions. In addition to tried-and-true injectables like Botox® and dermal fillers, we offer the most advanced skin tightening treatments on the market—Vivace™ Fractional Micro Needle RF and SkinTyte™ II. Vivace is a microneedling and radiofrequency treatment that helps to tighten and smooth skin anywhere you need it while also shrinking pores and evening skin tone without discomfort or downtime. SkinTyte uses non-invasive infrared energy to tighten lax skin. We’ll help you figure out which treatment or combination of treatments best suits your needs.
Body contouring
The other major confidence robber is unwanted fat. Do you battle with a muffin top or underarm fat? Our pesky fat bulges have a mind of their own and refuse to leave despite our most ardent attempts at exercise and dieting. It’s not fair! But whatever your body concern is, we can help with our complete selection of body sculpting treatments for reducing fat, toning muscle and tightening skin without surgery or downtime. Whether it’s EMSCULPT®, CoolSculpting®, Kybella®, or Ultherapy®, we’ve got your needs covered! Did you know that AVIE! was named a Top 5 Ultherapy provider in the Southeast by NewBeauty, and that we’re also a CoolSculpting-certified practice and member of the CoolClub, having performed more than 4,000 successful treatments?
Give yourself the gift of confidence this summer and beyond by calling703.870.3844 or requesting a consultation online today!

Here’s a look at the treatments our clients can’t seem to get enough of, especially before any big event like a wedding or graduation, and why we all love them!
Vivace™ Fractional Micro Needle RF
To tighten and smooth skin on any area of your body, nothing beats the rejuvenating power of our newest and most advanced skin tightening treatment—Vivace Micro Needle RF! Vivace combines the renewing power of microneedling with radiofrequency energy to trigger your skin’s natural healing response and reveal smoother, tighter, younger-looking skin where you want it. Vivace also tightens pore size, improves skin tone, and is virtually pain-free! Best of all, there’s no downtime with Vivace, so this treatment is easy to fit in the week before your event without worry.
Injectables—for a fuller pout, sculpted cheeks & diminished lines
You know the famous wedding day saying, “Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue”? Well, we think Botox® and Dermal Fillers should be added to the list! Today’s modern bride and bridal party now include an expert injectable session at the top of their primping To-Do lists. It’s no surprise to us! Nothing comes close to the gratification and quick results that FDA-cleared injectables can provide.
Laser Skin Rejuvenation—for a more evenly-toned, radiant complexion
You can take your pick of laser skin renewal because we are proud to offer a complete selection of the most advanced treatments on the market. The BBL™ photofacial is a clinically-proven light treatment that stimulates deep within your dermis to spur new collagen growth and improve a bevy of stubborn pigmentation irregularities like freckles, redness, age spots, broken capillaries, rosacea…the list goes on! With no downtime and few, if any, side effects, the BBL photofacial helps to reveal a more evenly-toned, brighter, and intensely refreshed complexion. We recommend scheduling this treatment two weeks before your special event to allow time for your imperfections to slough off and reveal intensely refreshed new skin with a radiant glow. For more intense and dramatic skin renewal, Halo™ laser skin resurfacing helps to reveal smoother, brighter, younger-looking skin with about a week of social downtime. Be sure to schedule Halo a good month before your event! We also offer the lighter MicroLaserPeel®, which treats the outermost layer of skin with minimal downtime, and ProFractional™ laser skin resurfacing, which provides impressive textural and tonal benefits. Don’t worry if you’re overwhelmed by so many choices! We’ll help you determine the ideal treatment or combination of services to meet your unique needs and goals. Call today because advance planning is key!
Body Contouring—for a sleeker silhouette so you can look amazing in your dress or suit!
Belly pooches and saddlebags, and any other “problem spots” have finally met their match with CoolSculpting® non-invasive fat reduction. Going strapless? CoolSculpting is also FDA-cleared to freeze fat on the arms. And now that we offer EMSCULPT muscle contouring and fat reduction, you can also strengthen and tone your muscles or give your buttocks a firmer shape and lift without downtime! EMSCULPT needs a series of 4 sessions spaced 2-3 days apart, while CoolSculpting typically reveals improvements up to 3 months following treatment.
Of course, we can’t forget HydraFacial®—a tried-and-true pre-event staple for achieving glowing skin with no downtime. Discover all your options by browsing our full online menu of treatments. To schedule an appointment, please call 703.870.3844 or request a consultation online today!

Perfect Your Pucker for Valentine’s Day! Leesburg, VA
I can’t think of a better excuse for an injectable session than Valentine’s Day. Then again, do you ever need an excuse to look your best?
FDA-approved dermal fillers and Botox® are trusted cosmetic treatments that have helped millions of women and men to look and feel their best year after year without surgery. They are tough to beat for their winning combination of almost immediate satisfaction and minimal downtime.
Here are a few of my all-time-favorite options for revitalizing your look with injectables:
Pucker up!
You have two options for enhancing your pout. If you want to enhance your pucker without giving away your secret, Volbella® is the way to go. Volbella is formulated to be a thinner consistency for revealing subtle benefits like smoothing vertical lip lines and accentuating your cupid’s bow and lower lip. For those who desire more dramatic lip augmentation, Juvéderm is our go-to workhorse. This award-winning filler contains bigger hyaluronic acid molecules to achieve noticeable, long-lasting enhancement.
Lose the lines and look natural!
Did you know that some people are still afraid that Botox® will make their forehead look frozen? It’s kind of a myth, because Botox is truly an invisible treatment. All it does is relax the muscles underneath your skin, preventing wrinkles from forming. Botox is the world’s most popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment, but I still think it’s underrated. It’s absolutely wonderful for reducing crow’s feet and smile lines around the eyes, not just the forehead. It can take years off your appearance, and no one will have any idea you had it done. It’s truly that simple.
Get cheeky!
Enhancing the volume in your cheeks with Voluma™ is such a powerful beauty aid! It provides a subtle, natural-looking lift to your face, smoothing lines and wrinkles for a refreshed, vibrant look. The best thing about Voluma is that it can last up to two years per treatment so you get quite a bang for your buck.
There are so many ways to bring out your best for Valentine’s Day! For a dewy glow, schedule a HydraFacial®. If you’re hoping to correct a few spots here and there, a BBL™ photofacial will help you achieve a more even tone with no downtime. To discover the ideal treatments for you, we can’t wait to help! Please call 703.870.3844 or request your personal consultation today.

Why Lip Fillers Will Always Be in Style Leesburg, VA
Everyone knows that dermal fillers get a bum rap from time to time, considered “fake-looking” or overdone by critics. As an expert injector who has provided more than 200,000 dermal filler treatments over the last two decades, I feel compelled to share that injectables are one of the easiest and most effective ways to achieve natural-looking, flattering benefits, and that has been our experience since we opened nearly 10 years ago.
If you’re feeling a bit skeptical and suspect injectables look “fake” more often than not, it’s time to reconsider your view! Here are a few simple facts to keep in mind:
The overdone look is intentional, not accidental.
The internet is crowded with dermal filler horror stories of lip plumpers gone terribly wrong. It’s no wonder that most people associate dermal fillers with duck lips. Want to know what doesn’t make headlines? The millions of people who get flattering lip injections every year. I believe that no one should be able to tell you’ve had fillers just by glancing at you. This doesn’t mean your results won’t be noticeable. It just means that you’ll look younger and refreshed, and no one will know why.
Where you get your treatment matters.
Not every injectable treatment is equal. The most flattering and effective treatments are performed by licensed and highly seasoned injectors with years of experience. My expert injectables team and I have performed over 200,000 successful injectable treatments since 2009. We have the experience and skill to provide you with optimal results.
One size does NOT fit all.
Injectable treatments are truly an art form, encompassing a wide range of skills and anatomical knowledge to reveal a refreshed and balanced look that works with your unique contours. You are one-of-a-kind, and your face should be treated as such with treatments that are tailored to your needs and goals.
