One of the biggest cosmetic trends of 2018 is natural beauty, making organic ingredients and all-natural, eco-friendly formulas all the rage. I couldn’t be more pleased! As a master aesthetician, I’ve long supported treatments that not only afford natural-looking beauty but also use the most natural of all ingredients—your own body—to bring out your best. Here are the highlights of our most popular natural treatments at AVIE! We can’t wait for you to enjoy the benefits for yourself!
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
PRP harnesses the healing power of your own body to reveal age-defying benefits to your complexion. PRP is a concentrated portion of your blood, which we draw and prepare in a matter of minutes in the comfort of our office. PRP is chock-full of potent healing agents that rejuvenate your skin at a cellular level. PRP can either be injected or applied topically to the face in conjunction with microneedling to help maximize absorption and reveal optimal benefits.
Ultherapy
Considered the facelift and necklift alternative, Ultherapy® is a non-invasive treatment that targets potent ultrasound energy deep within your skin and muscles to stimulate your body’s natural healing response, spurring new collagen and elastin growth. In the weeks and months following treatment, Ultherapy reveals tighter, firmer skin on the face and neck.
Microneedling
This treatment does exactly what its name implies, utilizing micro needles to create tiny treatment channels in the skin and trigger your skin’s natural healing response. As new collagen grows and fills in these tiny holes, a bevy of improvements are revealed, including diminished acne scarring, smoother skin, brightness, smaller pores, reduced fine lines, tighter skin, and much more.
Photofacials
Not all light is created equal. You should avoid the sun, for example, but wholeheartedly embrace the revitalizing light of photofacials! We offer the most effective photofacial on the market—the BBL™ (broadband light) photofacial. BBL photofacials can reverse years of sun damage, reverse pigmentation irregularities, dry up pimples, reduce pore size, enhance vibrance, and more with no downtime. We recommend incorporating photofacials into your seasonal skin care regimen.

The Lowdown on Laser Skin Renewal Leesburg, VA
I am constantly asked about laser treatments like Halo™ and photofacials. People hear all the buzz on laser treatments and how they can reveal amazing benefits with minimal to no downtime, from wrinkle reduction to more even skin tone. But with so many treatments out there, it can get confusing! How do you know which laser treatment is right for you?
Here’s a breakdown of common skin concerns and the laser treatments that best address them.
Keep in mind that many skin treatments overlap, so you really can’t go wrong. Plus, we’ll help you pinpoint your best options during your personal consultation.
Lines and Wrinkles
Lines and wrinkles can be dramatically reduced with laser treatments that remove the outermost layers of your skin to reveal smoother, tighter skin texture with diminished lines and wrinkles. For dramatic improvements, you’ll need intense skin renewal that entails more downtime than milder treatments. Some of your options include Halo laser skin renewal, ProFractional™ laser skin resurfacing, and MicroLaserPeel®. Another crowd favorite is our North Star Peel™, which combines a few laser treatments for even better results.
Pigmentation Irregularities and Acne
BBL (Broadband Light) photofacials are the gold standard for reducing pigmentation concerns with no downtime. Non-invasive photofacials can diminish redness, freckles, tiny blood vessels, blotchiness, blemishes, and more. The amazing thing about BBL technology is that it works deep within to not only improve pigmentation but also stimulate new collagen growth, so it can gradually improve the texture of your skin, reducing lines and revealing younger-looking skin over time. You may need a series of treatments for optimal benefits.
Sagging Skin
SkinTyte II™ utilizes the same technology as BBL to impart skin contraction and tightening for smoother contours on your face or body. Though not technically a laser treatment, Ultherapy® is another effective treatment for firming up lax skin on the face, neck, and chest. It utilizes ultrasound energy to tighten underlying muscle and provide an overall lift to skin.
Don’t worry if your skin concern wasn’t mentioned in this blog, because one of our laser treatments can surely treat it! To learn more about laser skin renewal and discover the treatment that perfectly suits your needs, call 703.870.3844 or click here to schedule a free consultation today.

Glowing Skin for Valentine’s Day! Leesburg, VA
As Valentine’s Day approaches, we’ve got a gift idea that’s better than chocolates or roses. It’s a gift that keeps on giving long after Valentine’s Day, and leaves you with positively luminous skin.
Did you guess a skin renewing treatment at AVIE! Medspa? Nothing says “I love you” like the gift of radiant skin. The hardest part is deciding which treatment to get, which is where our expertise (and gift cards) come in handy. At AVIE!, we are passionate about skin care, and we offer a leading selection of treatments to meet your every concern, from decreasing large pore size and clearing breakouts to diminishing wrinkles and dullness. Here are a few revitalizing treatments to consider:
•Photofacials
This non-invasive treatment penetrates stimulating energy deep below the skin to diminish age spots, freckles, pore size, dullness, and more with no downtime. For a healthy glow year-round, many of our clients opt for seasonal photofacials to keep sun damage at bay and trigger new collagen production for long-lasting, younger-looking skin.
•Laser Skin Resurfacing
Halo and ProFractional™ laser skin renewal are two amazing skin treatments that work by stimulating your skin’s natural healing response. These treatments safely penetrate skin to ultimately reveal tighter, brighter, younger-looking skin with diminished wrinkles, pore size, age spots, and much more.
•Microneedling and PRP
These two treatments are amazing on their own but provide outstanding benefits to the skin when combined. Microneedling creates tiny holes in the skin with micro-needles, stimulating your skin’s natural healing response to reveal age-defying benefits, including tighter, more evenly toned skin. PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is a concentrated portion of your very own blood containing growth factors, which have potent healing properties to reveal younger-looking skin. Microneedling essentially primes your skin to soak up every last drop of PRP, and bolsters your skin’s natural healing process.
It’s worth mentioning that this time of year is ideal for skin renewal. Results-driven skin care leaves skin vulnerable and in need of constant sun protection, which is much easier to do when you’re inside more often and covered under layers of clothing.
At AVIE!, our goal is to arm you with the facts so you can be smart about your skin. We’ll partner with you to select the optimal brands for your unique needs, and we’ll help you every step of the way to ensure that proper application and benefits are achieved.
We can’t wait to help you find your optimal selection of skin treatments! For more information, call 703.870.3844 or click here to request a free consultation today.
