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.

Fresh for Fall! Kim’s Picks for Ageless in Autumn Beauty
Are you ready to get a fresh, rejuvenated look for fall? If you skimped on summer skincare, you’ll want to read Kim’s top picks for ageless in autumn beauty.
Laser Skin Rejuvenation
Undo the sun damage of the summer! Did you know that just one photo facial treatment can eliminate up to 80% of sunspots? It’s true, and with a recommended series of 3-5 treatments, you can look years younger. Since photo facials also can’t be performed on tanned skin, fall is the optimal season to undergo this painless laser skin rejuvenation treatment.
ProFractional™
Talk about ageless in autumn! ProFractional™ causes collagen remodeling and stimulates new collagen production, the building block of taut, youthful skin. Kim says, “If you’re bothered by uneven texture, fine lines and wrinkles, laxity and large pores, ProFractional™ Laser Skin Resurfacing is an essential for a fresh fall look.”
CoolSculpting®
To look hot, you have to get cool! It’s very apropos that we’re launching new, non-surgical body contouring CoolSculpting® just as temperatures are beginning to drop. But, any time of a year is a good one to lose unwanted fat without surgery or downtime! Learn more FDA-cleared, noninvasive fat reduction here.
Sclerotherapy
If you noticed something different about your legs this summer – namely unsightly spider veins – fall is the perfect time to consider sclerotherapy. By injecting unwanted leg veins with a special solution, they can easily be eliminated. Kim says, “This is a great treatment for cooler months because veins that have been treated cannot be exposed to sunlight. Since temperatures are dropping and everyone is in layers and long pants, this isn’t a problem.”

New Study: Unhealthy Lifestyle Can Age Skin 10 Years
Yes, you read that headline correctly! A new international study, published in Great Britian’s The Daily Telegraph, concludes that ‘lifestyle choices’ can account for as much as 33 percent of how old a person looks.
The study involved 585 women over 8 years and tracked participants based on lifestyle habits such as smoking, sunbathing, applying sunscreen and alcohol consumption.
Though the women in the study were all the same age, the difference in their perceived ages based on lifestyle factors was an average of 10 years and 4 months. Even researchers were shocked at the discrepancy, having believed for many years that genetics always trumped daily habits when it came to aging. The conclusion? This isn’t the case, and women with a healthy lifestyle look much younger than those who live hard.
The good news is that the advanced anti-aging procedures available at AVIE! MedSpa & Laser Center in Leesburg can do more than prevent future damage – we can actually reverse and eliminate damage of years past.
Curious what service is right for you? Ultherapy, the new, non-surgical facelift alternative, works to address structural changes such as sagging and laxity by lifting, toning and tightening skin on the brow, chin and neck. Laser skin rejuvenation treatments like Photo facials can improve skin tone, eliminating hyperpigmentation like sun spots and broken capillaries, while skin resurfacing can eliminate texture issues, such as acne scars. Best of all, these options at AVIE! are minimally invasive, posing little to no downtime.
Despite your lifestyle, AVIE! can help reveal a dramatically younger-looking you – no incisions necessary!

How To Get Rid of Wrinkles Around the Mouth With Wrinkle Fillers & Laser Skin Rejuvenation
Wrinkles around the mouth, sometimes called lip lines or smoker’s lines, are an all too common beauty complaint. The skin around the mouth unfortunately is one of the first areas of the face to show signs of aging. Smoking, chewing gum, drinking out of a straw and sleeping on your side are just a few of the daily habits that can cause these types of wrinkles to form.
Using a variety of dermal fillers and laser skin rejuvenation procedures, however, the appearance of these wrinkles can be lessened, or even eliminated.
“Lip lines can be a dead giveaway for age,” says Kim Marinetto, Master Aesthetician and owner of AVIE! MedSpa & Laser Center in Leesburg, VA. “Using hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvéderm® XC, Restylane-L® and Perlane-L®, we’re able to restore volume to the skin around the lips, which fills in the fine lines where lipstick tends to get caught, giving that ‘bleeding out’ effect women hate.”
The parentheses lines extending from the side of the nose to the side of the mouth, also known as smile lines or nasolabial folds, are also smoothed with Juvéderm® XC, Restylane-L® and Perlane-L®.
Laser skin rejuvenation procedures can also undo tell tale signs of aging around the mouth. ProFractional laser skin resurfacing improves skin texture by causing collagen remodeling and stimulates new collagen to form, giving the skin a tighter, smoother appearance.
“The results of ProFractional skin resurfacing are really complimented by SkinTyte laser skin tightening,” says Kim. “Since both of these treatments stimulate collagen in different ways, fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth don’t stand a chance when we combine ProFractional and SkinTyte.”
For those looking for a truly long-lasting, dramatic anti-aging option, they will find it in Ultherapy, the new, non-surgical facelift alternative, available for the first time in Loudoun County at AVIE! Ultherapy utilizes ultrasound energy to stimulate the deep structural support layers beneath the skin, without harming the skin itself.
“Ultherapy is a wonderful option for fine lines around the mouth and nasolabial folds. It can be used as a single treatment or in combination with laser rejuvenation or injectables, allowing us to customize a treatment plan for each individual.”

People in the Leesburg, VA area are finding alternatives at AVIE! and being proactive in the fight against signs of aging with fast, minimally-invasive treatments that deliver amazing results and train your skin to be fit.” Studies have shown that patients who had their skin corrected and received maintenance treatments 1-2 times per year, like those offered at AVIE!, had brighter, tighter and plumper skin with noticeable smaller pore size.
