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.

It’s the Perfect Time to Tame Your Double Chin, Get Halo and More! Leesburg, VA

December 17, 2020

If you’re laying low this season by staying close to home, kudos for keeping yourself and those around you safe. Since our job is helping you look and feel your best, we wanted to suggest a strategic way for you to spend your nesting time this winter: While you are hunkering down, why not turn your home time into scheduled downtime from that aesthetic treatment you’ve been wanting for ages? Here’s a look at just a few aesthetic treatments that reveal marvelous results but do entail some downtime.

While watching that entire documentary, you could be recovering from Kybella^®, the world’s first FDA-approved injectable for submental fat reduction! Kybella treatments involve a series of tiny pricks under your chin. These pricks administer a modified form of deoxycholic acid, a natural fat-busting molecule in the body, to your target area. The treatment is relatively quick and simple but results in significant swelling. Swelling is actually a great sign because it means your Kybella treatment is working! But it’s nice to be able to lay low at home until this swelling subsides.

While you’re cuddling up during those long winter nights, you might try serious skin renewal with the world-famous Halo^™ laser skin treatment! The Halo glow is a real thing! This treatment stimulates renewal at multiple levels within your skin, resulting in a wide range of complexion improvements, including smoother, brighter and more evenly toned skin. Depending on the intensity of your treatment, you could experience a week of redness and peeling.

Have you been thinking about blepharoplasty? This may be your time to finally do it! An eyelid lift at AVIE! is an outpatient procedure performed under local anesthesia by our medical director, Dr. Khalique Zahir. As a board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Zahir has years of experience helping patients achieve the look they desire with minimal downtime. An eyelid lift can help correct skin that droops over the eyelids, improve bags or puffiness under the eyes and reduce wrinkles around the eyes. To learn more about blepharoplasty, please don’t hesitate to call us for a personal consultation!

During this busy holiday season amid a pandemic, please be assured that we are taking every precaution to ensure your health and safety. Please call us with any questions you may have on treatments or products. You can also secure any discounts simply by calling us to pre-purchase your products and/or treatments over the phone on the day of the sale. We can also arrange for curbside pickup of products. Simply call us at 703.870.3844, go online or request a consultation 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.

3 Clever Father’s Day Gift Ideas Leesburg, VA

June 11, 2020

If you want to surprise Dad this Father’s Day with a gift he’ll never see coming, consider a gift card to AVIE! Medspa and Laser Center. A gift card is an easy way to jumpstart Dad’s self-improvement goals this summer. Here’s a look at three ideas that are sure to please.

Fat Reduction
If the special man in your life has a spare tire or under-chin fat he’d like to lose, he may be an ideal candidate for our non-invasive fat reduction treatment, CoolSculpting^® or Kybella^®, the world’s first FDA-approved injectable for submental (under chin) fat reduction.
FDA-cleared CoolSculpting uses cooling applicators to freeze away targeted fat. Once Dad’s fat cells are frozen, they are gradually purged from the body through his lymphatic system, revealing subtle, natural-looking results. Because this treatment doesn’t break the skin, there’s little to no downtime, so no one will be able to tell that Dad’s had a treatment, which is just the way he likes it. (Actually, it’s the way we all like it!)
Kybella involves a series of well-tolerated injections under the chin and reveals optimal results with a series of treatments. Kybella is a non-surgical and minimally
invasive treatment, but it does cause some temporary swelling, which is a sign the treatment is working! We can help Dad determine if Kybella is the right fit for his needs during his personal consultation.
Muscle Toning
Does the special man in your life feel okay about his weight but a bit bummed out by his lack of definition in certain areas like his abs? If the shelter-in-place order did a little “damage” to Dad’s body image, he may be ready for a non-invasive muscle toning treatment called EMSCULPT^®. EMSCULPT uses HIFEM™ (high intensity electromagnetic) technology to stimulate thousands of muscle contractions where Dad needs it, triggering muscle fibers to strengthen and firm up, revealing a more toned and defined physique without the workout.
This month is the ideal time to shop for Dad, while we’re offering 25% off four cycles of CoolSculpting, and you can save $1,200 off a series of four EMSCULPT treatments or $2,300 off a series of six EMSCULPT treatments.
Hair Restoration
If the man in your life has expressed concern over his thinning hairline, a common condition called androgenic alopecia, then he may be a candidate for PRFM Hair Restoration. Here at AVIE!, we take the power of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) a step further by providing PRFM, or platelet-rich fibrin matrix, which is a purer and more potent form of PRP to help Dad achieve next-level results. Depending on Dad’s goals, he’ll need to undergo a series of treatments, but we can help him devise the ideal regimen for his needs during his personal consultation. The greatest thing about PRFM is that it’s totally natural, using Dad’s very own blood to achieve a thicker, fuller head of his very own hair. Dad can feel confident knowing he’s enjoying all-natural — and natural-looking — benefits without the hassle or risk of other hair treatments.
To learn more about these treatments and any other services on our menu, or to purchase a gift card to our medspa, please call 703.870.3844 or create a gift card on our website. You may also request a consultation online today! We can’t wait to help you!

Don’t Get Stuck in a Resolution Rut! Leesburg, VA

January 9, 2020

Happy New Year! We love fresh starts, and there’s nothing more refreshing than a brand new year! But as much as we love the new year, it can also be a stressful time, particularly if you’ve made a zillion promises to yourself about losing weight or getting a better body. (And let’s face it: Most of us fall into this category!) If you’re anything like the rest of us, and you’re feeling overwhelmed by how much work you have ahead of you to reach your goals, we want you to stop right where you are and take a few deep breaths. Inhale, exhale…ahhh…Feel better? We hope so!

As your partner in self-care, our #1 goal is to help you feel amazing! So without further ado, here are a few tips for tackling your body contouring goals in 2020:
1) Never go it alone!
Certain areas of the body are called trouble spots because they are IMPOSSIBLE. Case in point: the muffin top. How many years has this pinchable blob of fat haunted you? It’s not your fault! It’s a well known fact that “trouble areas” of fat don’t respond to healthy diet or exercise regimens. Or, if they do respond, the improvements are painfully slight and slow, and who has time for that? So, we are over the moon about being able to offer you a helping hand with several body contouring treatments: CoolSculpting^® non-invasive fat reduction, EmSculpt^® non-invasive muscle toning, Kybella^® submental fat reduction, SkinTyte II^™ skin tightening, Ultherapy^®, the ultrasound facelift alternative, and Vivace^™ RF microneedling.
At the risk of sounding silly, we like to think of our non-surgical body contouring menu as Santa’s little helpers; they are the elves of body contouring, working behind the scenes all hours of the day and night to whittle away fat, tone up flab and tighten and smooth skin…all without surgery and little to no downtime…to help you make noticeable progress and stay on track.
You can also boost your results with The ProLon Fasting-Mimicking Diet® (FMD), a new tool we love here at AVIE! ProLon is clinically-proven to help decrease fat and reinvigorate your body, essentially setting you up for optimal results with any of our body contouring treatments. Seeing your body improve before your eyes is a powerful motivator, and we truly can’t wait for you to experience it!
2) Success is one small step at a time.
Another big benefit to non-invasive body contouring and skin tightening, aside from the little to no downtime involved, is gradual, natural-looking improvements. There’s no drastic surgery or incisions to endure. Following your CoolSculpting treatment, for example, your body will flush away unwanted fat cells in the months after your session. With EmSculpt, your treatment areas will experience thousands of muscle contractions in one 30-minute session, resulting in a more toned, defined or lifted appearance in the weeks following your treatment (we achieve your best results with a series of treatments). Kybella, SkinTyte, Ultherapy and Vivace microneedling all afford gradual, natural-looking improvements. (It’s worth noting, however, that Kybella does involve some social downtime due to swelling, which is a sign that your treatment is working!)
The takeaway point here is that most people need a little extra help with body contouring, so you are in good company. And don’t be afraid to ask for help! You deserve it! To learn more about non-surgical body sculpting at AVIE!, call 703.870.3844 or request a consultation online today!

It’s Time to Tackle Your Turkey Neck! Leesburg, VA

November 7, 2019

Gobble gobble! It’s that time of year again for all things turkey. So please forgive us for writing a blog about the dreaded turkey neck!
Turkey with a double chin
Whether it’s genetics or lifestyle, or a combination of both, the neck and chin area is an impossible area of the body to tame with diet and exercise alone. No matter how well you eat or how much weight you lose, or how many hundreds of sit ups and crunches and jogs you do, your double chin will not budge. It’s a scientific fact. No, it’s not fair — and it’s not your fault — but there is hope!
AVIE! Medspa offers two treatments for tackling submental chin fat. The FDA-approved injectable Kybella^®, for starters, helps to break down chin fat with a modified form of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring fat-busting molecule in the body. Kybella works wonders in small areas of the body, which is why it’s FDA-approved for the chin. If we decide that Kybella is a good fit for you, you’ll experience a series of treatments spaced at least one month apart. Because every Kybella treatment is tailored to a patient’s exact needs, there’s no set number of sessions with Kybella. Some achieve their goal with one treatment, while another may need three. Each injectable session involves multiple small injections under your chin, which are quick and well-tolerated.
CoolSculpting^® non-invasive fat reduction is another FDA-cleared solution for reducing chin fat. Our advanced CoolSculpting technology, including CoolAdvantage Petite™ applicators, can help us freeze away unwanted fat efficiently and with little to no downtime. The benefits of CoolSculpting are gradual. You’ll notice optimal improvements within three months of your treatment, and you may need more than one treatment to achieve your goal. We will work with you to design a treatment plan that meets your needs.
Sometimes, it’s skin — not fat — that is causing the appearance of the turkey neck. If we determine that you could benefit from skin tightening, we offer Vivace^™ Micro Needle RF, the most advanced microneedling treatment on the market. Vivace stimulates skin tightening with a potent combination of microneedling and radiofrequency energy for smoother, tighter, younger-looking skin where you need it most.
To learn more about your chin-slimming options at AVIE!, please call 703.870.3844 or request a personal consultation online today.
AVIE! proudly serves clients from Leesburg, Ashburn, and all over NoVA. See you soon!
