What If You Could Pause Aging? (Hint: You Can!) Leesburg, VA

December 19, 2018

Certain aesthetic treatments make me say “wow!” and Ultherapy® is definitely one of them! Often called the facelift and necklift alternative, Ultherapy uses potent ultrasound energy to lift and firm skin on the face, neck, or chest without any invasive measures or downtime.
Another awesome age-defying treatment I love is SkinTyte™ II, a laser that tightens and smoothes skin on any area of the body.

What exactly is SkinTyte II?

A lot of my clients are interested in skin tightening but are confused about the difference between SkinTyte and Ultherapy. While both treatments can help to improve the look of your skin, they work differently and offer distinct benefits. Ultherapy works at the foundational layers of skin and muscle to trigger a tightening and lifting effect from deep below for the face, neck, and décolletage. SkinTyte is a laser treatment that tightens the top layers of skin by causing a partial coagulation and contraction of collagen. These two treatments are extremely effective anti-aging tools that help to slow and reverse signs of aging, and we will help you discover which treatment is right for you during your personal consultation.
The best part about these treatments? I like to think of Ultherapy and SkinTyte as gifts that keep on giving—literally! These treatments work gradually to reveal optimal benefits. This means you get to wake up every day with a slightly fresher, younger-looking face or body.

‘Tis the Season to be Brighter and Tighter! Leesburg, VA

December 6, 2018

Can you feel it? The holiday season is here, and I’m loving it! From sparkly lights to cozy cups of cocoa by the fire, there are so many special reasons to feel merry and bright this time of year.

Top holiday picks

And speaking of “bright,” one of my favorite ways to get my holiday glow on is a combination treatment for brightening and tightening skin with the BBL™ photofacial and SkinTyte™ II. This popular pairing spells complexion perfection in two ways. BBL photofacial is a non-invasive light treatment that works wonders at reducing uneven pigmentation like freckles, age spots, brown spots, and redness. SkinTyte II is another non-invasive laser treatment that helps to tighten skin by heating the dermis and triggering new collagen and elastin growth. Combined, these two treatments pack a synergistic punch, revealing brighter, tighter skin without downtime. That’s right—there’s no downtime with BBL and SkinTyte, which makes this combo an ideal party-prepping treatment or complexion helper any time of year.
Another skin-saver to add to your Santa list is Halo™ laser skin renewal. The first of its kind, this hybrid laser skin treatment features two powerful types of energy to stimulate the skin at multiple levels. Halo is also a fractional laser, which means it creates treatment channels in your skin while leaving some of your skin untouched to speed healing time. Halo is the best in its class for spurring new collagen and elastin growth and revealing an overall improvement to your skin’s tone and texture for younger-looking radiance and more even tone. Halo can also be paired with BBL photofacials for even better results.
‘Tis the season to be jolly—and brighter and tighter! To learn more about the best skin-prepping treatments for you, call 703.870.3844 or schedule your free personal consultation today!

Why Combination Treatments Rule Leesburg, VA

July 19, 2018

Industry experts predicted at the start of 2018 that combination treatments would be hot—and they were right! Combining cosmetic treatments to enhance your results is one of our most powerful tools for attaining optimal benefits.

Here are just a few of our favorite synergistic pairings:

BBL Photofacial & Halo

BBL™ photofacials are non-invasive treatments that bathe your skin in bright light to stimulate its natural healing response and spur new collagen and elastin. The intense light is also ideal for eradicating stubborn pigmentation concerns like age and sun spots. Combining this light treatment with Halo™ fractional skin resurfacing is a win-win because it stimulates skin at every level for enhanced benefits.

BBL and SkinTyte II

BBL and SkinTyte II™ are two potent non-invasive skin treatments that harness energy to stimulate the skin’s natural healing response. SkinTyte helps to tighten and smooth moderately lax or wrinkled skin, while BBL photofacials help to reveal a more even skin tone. Paired together, these two treatments provide intensely rejuvenated, younger-looking skin with no downtime.

Liquid Facelifts

It’s fairly self-explanatory why injectables work so well together. Injectables are formulated to work on different areas of the face, from the forehead to your chin. Combined, they help rejuvenate the entire face, taking years off with minimal downtime and discomfort.

PRP and Dermal Fillers

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a concentrated portion of your own blood containing potent growth factors which can rejuvenate and revitalize anywhere it’s applied, from joints to skin. When we add PRP to dermal filler treatments, it helps to lengthen the duration of benefits as well as enhance your results for months of younger-looking skin.

We are passionate about providing you with your best possible results. To learn more about combination treatments and other leading therapies at AVIE!, call 703.870.3844 or request your free consultation today!

What’s the Difference between SkinTyte II & Ultherapy? Leesburg, VA

July 5, 2018

We’re lucky to have so many treatments for toning and tightening our bodies without surgery or downtime. But with so many options, it can get confusing! Case in point: Ultherapy® and SkinTyte II™, two popular skin tightening treatments. With similar benefits, how do you know which treatment is right for you?
To help you better understand your options, here are a few general guidelines:

If you want to tighten and lift…

Ultherapy is known as the facelift and necklift alternative because it works deep within the structural layers of skin and muscle to not only tighten, but also lift the skin. Ultherapy is not a replacement for surgery, but it can help to stave off surgery or curb the need for dermal fillers. Ultherapy is FDA-cleared for use on the brow, face, neck, chin, and chest.

If you just need to tighten…

SkinTyte II is an advanced skin tightening treatment that uses potent infrared energy to stimulate the skin’s natural healing response and trigger skin tightening benefits. SkinTyte II is cleared for use anywhere you need it, from your face to your knees. We often combine SkinTyte II with laser skin treatments, such as BBL photofacials, to enhance your rejuvenating results. SkinTyte II is ideal for moderately lax skin, but is not recommended for extreme sagging or large amounts of excess skin.

If you want a one-time treatment…

Ultherapy is probably your better bet. Generally considered the most powerful skin-tightening and skin-lifting tool, Ultherapy is designed to be a one-and-done treatment for results that last up to a year. SkinTyte II, on the other hand, produces optimal benefits after a series of at least 4 treatments spaced about a month apart. Both treatments are highly effective, and we will help you choose the best choice for your needs during your free consultation.

All-Star Treatment Combos for Amazing Skin Leesburg, VA

March 8, 2018

Ready to combine and conquer your cosmetic treatments?
I get it. You are too busy to even be reading this blog. So let’s cut to the chase and let you in on a genius medspa secret—combination treatments! Strategically pairing your treatments not only saves time but also provides incredible synergistic benefits, enhancing your results for your most gorgeous skin ever.
I love that word, synergy. It refers to the magic that happens when two treatments combine for more awesome results than if you were to undergo the treatments separately. In other words, two is often better than one in the cosmetic world!
For a luminous, head-turning complexion, here are three of our favorite synergistic pairings:

Dermal Fillers & Botox

It’s hard to beat the all-star combination of Botox® and dermal fillers. These two injectables treat different areas of the face, so they pair perfectly to reveal an overall revitalized, younger-looking appearance with minimal downtime. Botox smooths lines on the upper areas of the face, including persistent forehead lines and crow’s feet, while dermal fillers replenish lost volume and diminish lines and wrinkles around the mouth, cheeks, nose, and chin. Together, these two injectables can reveal months of radiant rejuvenation.

Forever Young BBL & SkinTyte II

Forever Young BBL™ photofacials bathe the skin in intense light to improve a bevy of pigmentation concerns, including age spots, freckles, sun spots, redness, and more for a more evenly-toned, radiant complexion. SkinTyte II™ treats skin with advanced infrared energy to tighten and smooth targeted areas on any area of the body with no downtime. Combined, these two non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatments are a perfect pair for revealing brighter and tighter skin!

Microneedling & Chemical Peels or PRP

I love microneedling because it’s such an easy treatment for refreshing your skin with minimal downtime. Microneedling creates tiny channels in the skin, spurring new collagen to grow and fill in those tiny holes, improving the health and appearance of skin. Having a chemical peel prior to microneedling intensifies this renewing effect, revealing deeper revitalization. PRP (platelet-rich plasma) also pairs well with microneedling. PRP is a concentrated portion of your own blood that is bursting with growth factors and healing properties for intensely revitalized, stunning skin. When applied topically following a microneedling session, the PRP benefits increase due to enhanced absorption.
