Gobble-gobble! It’s almost turkey time! Now that Thanksgiving is around the corner, we can’t resist blogging about the dreaded turkey neck.
Here’s the thing about the neck. It seems to have a mind of its own! The delicate, thin skin of the neck is one of the first areas to show signs of aging, from lines and wrinkles to crepey sagging. It doesn’t seem fair!
Luckily, we have tools for taming this age-old concern. At AVIE!, we offer both non-invasive and minimally-invasive options for improving the appearance of the neck and chin. Here’s the lowdown on four treatments we love:

Ultherapy

Considered the facelift and neck lift alternative, Ultherapy® stimulates the deep supporting layers of skin with non-invasive ultrasound energy, triggering new collagen production and tightening skin. Without downtime, Ultherapy can help smooth and tighten skin on the face, neck, and chest, revealing younger-looking contours. We have seen amazing results, including my own!

Kybella

Kybella®, the first and only FDA-approved injectable for fat reduction under the chin, is an effective profile enhancer. It’s worth noting that Kybella is only ideal for reducing excess fat—not tightening skin. At your consultation, we can help you determine if Kybella is a good fit for your needs. A series of treatments is needed for best results.

CoolSculpting

This popular non-invasive fat reduction tool can reduce excess fat under the chin with targeted cooling technology. Without downtime, CoolSculpting® offers gradual improvements to your profile within months of treatment.

SkinTyte

This non-invasive laser treatment penetrates the skin with stimulating light energy, triggering new collagen production and tightening skin. SkinTyte™ can help improve your chin profile by firming up sagging skin and smoothing lines and wrinkles. We recommend a series of treatments for optimal results.

As owner of one of the most trusted medspas in Virginia, I pride myself on providing an extensive menu of cutting-edge treatments. But with so many options, how do you know which services are right for you?
Take body contouring. I get asked all the time about our various contouring treatments because we offer five exciting options for improving your shape and form, and it can get a bit confusing!
Finding the right treatment for you can be boiled down to a few factors—the type of contouring you are looking for, the area of the body you’d like to see improvement in, and the type of technology used for best results. To help you determine which body contouring treatments are right for you, here’s a brief rundown.

Our body contouring treatments include…

• CoolSculpting® is a non-invasive fat-reduction treatment ideal for slimming down stubborn fat almost anywhere on your body, such as the muffin top or upper arms. CoolSculpting is great for trimming “problem” spots and can reduce up to 25% of fat in targeted areas, but it doesn’t tighten the skin.
• VelaShape® can help diminish the appearance of cellulite on the arms, thighs, flanks, and abdomen with radiofrequency (RF) and infrared energy. Using a vacuum-like system to heat and massage targeted areas, VelaShape can shrink fat cells and improve skin texture.
• Kybella® can reduce excess fat under the chin with injections of deoxycholic acid. Kybella is only effective on small areas of the body, making it ideal for the chin area. Because it offers no skin-tightening benefits, some clients opt for a session of SkinTyte II™ or Ultherapy® following their Kybella treatments.
• SkinTyte uses light energy to firm and tighten skin anywhere on the body by heating and then contracting collagen. While SkinTyte isn’t a fat-reduction treatment, it can provide a slimmer appearance by tightening the skin.
• Ultherapy can lift and tighten skin on the face, neck, and décolletage using
  ultrasound energy. Like SkinTyte, Ultherapy can tighten the skin but doesn’t reduce fat.

As the premiere body contouring destination in Northern Virginia, we can’t wait to help you determine which options are right for you! Give us a call today at 703.870.3844  to set up your consultation.
