Timing Is Everything with Party Prepping! Leesburg, VA

November 21, 2019

Thanksgiving is next week, which means Black Friday is a stone’s throw away, which means it’s time to get yourself to AVIE! Medspa for your favorite medical spa treatments, pronto!

Kidding aside, when it comes to medical spa treatments, timing is everything. Here’s a look at the most popular services this time of year, and the amount of downtime you need to factor in.

Injectables

Botox^® and dermal fillers are popular all year round, but there’s nothing more motivating than an upcoming holiday party to get you hunkered down for a session with your favorite injector at Avie! Medspa and Laser Center. Without a doubt, there’s no easier way to smooth away lines and look younger than with injectables. The only catch is that you need to pay close attention to your personal response to treatment. Every injection carries a risk of swelling, pinpoint bleeding, and bruising. Some people are more prone to bruising than others. Dermal fillers can cause swelling for up to a week following your session. For these reasons, we recommend scheduling your injectables a good month before you need to see optimal results.

Laser skin treatments

Downtime depends on the treatment. We recommend scheduling your Halo^™ a full two weeks before any event. It takes about a week of social downtime for your skin to fully renew itself, and benefits with Halo keep coming as your skin continues to produce new collagen. So for optimal benefits, you may want to schedule your treatment a month before your event. If you would like both injectables and laser treatment, please schedule your injectables AFTER your skin treatment, because the skin treatment will break down your injectable a lot faster. We’ll help you plan your treatments during your personal consultation.

Fat reduction

CoolSculpting^® non-invasive fat reduction offers gradual results for up to three months following your last treatment, so we don’t recommend this treatment if you want to see results right away, before your big event. You’ll want to schedule CoolSculpting a good three months in advance. For EMSCULPT^®, which affords muscle toning and fat reduction, you should see benefits faster. EMSCULPT works differently, prompting thousands of muscle contractions with electromagnetic energy to strengthen and tone muscles without downtime. EMSCULPT can be successfully started about two months before you want to see results. The same goes for skin tightening with SkinTyte II^™ or Vivace^™ Micro Needle RF, which reveal optimal results after a series of treatments.
To schedule your ideal skin prepping treatments in the perfect order for your best results, call 703.870.3844 or request a personal consultation online today.

Do You Know the Age of Your Skin? Leesburg, VA

November 14, 2019

It sounds crazy, but the age of your skin is not necessarily your age. You could be 39 years old but have skin that’s 30 years old. Or, you could be 30 and have skin that’s 45 years in age. Your skin health is hidden deep down inside your skin cells, and it’s also measured by subtle things that are hard to see with the naked eye, such as pore size, hydration, age spots, and other hyperpigmentation issues, as well as fine lines and wrinkles.

So why does your skin’s age matter? Because you have the power to change it! While you can’t change the day you were born, you can change your skin’s age! Today, thanks to science, we have a slew of treatments at AVIE! that are geared toward reversing sun damage, stimulating new collagen, and revealing younger-looking, dramatically improved skin tone and texture.
To measure your skin’s age, we have a machine that uses special lighting and imaging to record several pictures of your face. Each picture measures distinct traits, such as lines and wrinkles, oil concentration, pore size, and pigmentation issues/sun damage. For example, we’ll take pictures before your Halo^™ treatment so you can clearly see the dramatic improvements to your skin after your Halo™ treatment!

Other treatment options

Another famous age-reversing treatment for skin is BBL^™! A Stanford University study discovered that regular BBL treatments performed over the long term changed the molecular structure of skin cells to behave like younger skin! Another cutting-edge skin revitalizer is Vivace^™ Micro Needle RF! We could go on about all the treatments to consider, but there’s not enough room in this blog! So back to your skin’s age…
Of course, when you experience Halo, BBL, and other skin revitalizing treatments, you’ll be able to notice your improvements any time you look in the mirror. But the beauty of the Optic Slim device is that it tells you about the benefits you can’t see. It’s absolutely amazing that you can go from age 40 to 35 with a skin treatment, isn’t it?

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.

Kybella

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^®

This 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.

It’s Never Too Late for an Awesome Summer! Leesburg,VA

July 18, 2019

Confidence is everything. When you feel confident, it’s so much easier to relax and enjoy the moment, isn’t it? I think it’s because when you’re busy feeling your best, you’re not thinking about the little things or imperfections that make you feel lousy, like razor burn or belly fat. You’re just happy being you!
In case you didn’t know, I’m in the business of confidence boosting here at AVIE! To boost your confidence this summer, here are a few of my favorite treatments:

Laser hair removal

If you’re on the fence about laser hair removal, I urge you to take the plunge and schedule a series of 5 laser hair removal treatments this year. It will change your life! (Seriously!) While summer isn’t an ideal time for laser hair removal since your skin needs to be tan-free, this treatment is a MUST to fit into your grooming routine whenever you can. So many women I know have struggled their entire lives with painful and embarrassing ingrowns or razor burn (on their bikini line, especially). This tricky area is sensitive and prone to aesthetic issues, which is why I encourage laser hair removal because it will set you free! Imagine being able to walk the beach or pool without a cover up this year because you don’t feel compelled to cover up your imperfections? You deserve to enjoy smooth, carefree comfort that’s long-lasting, not temporary, and you can find it with laser hair removal right here in Leesburg.

Skin tightening

If you are bothered by certain lines or crepey skin that’s aging you before your time, we can help you look as young as you feel with a wide range of solutions. In addition to tried-and-true injectables like Botox® and dermal fillers, we offer the most advanced skin tightening treatments on the market—Vivace™ Fractional Micro Needle RF and SkinTyte™ II. Vivace is a microneedling and radiofrequency treatment that helps to tighten and smooth skin anywhere you need it while also shrinking pores and evening skin tone without discomfort or downtime. SkinTyte uses non-invasive infrared energy to tighten lax skin. We’ll help you figure out which treatment or combination of treatments best suits your needs.

Body contouring

The other major confidence robber is unwanted fat. Do you battle with a muffin top or underarm fat? Our pesky fat bulges have a mind of their own and refuse to leave despite our most ardent attempts at exercise and dieting. It’s not fair! But whatever your body concern is, we can help with our complete selection of body sculpting treatments for reducing fat, toning muscle and tightening skin without surgery or downtime. Whether it’s EMSCULPT®, CoolSculpting®, Kybella®, or Ultherapy®, we’ve got your needs covered! Did you know that AVIE! was named a Top 5 Ultherapy provider in the Southeast by NewBeauty, and that we’re also a CoolSculpting-certified practice and member of the CoolClub, having performed more than 4,000 successful treatments?
Give yourself the gift of confidence this summer and beyond by calling703.870.3844 or requesting a consultation online today!

The Most Effective and Advanced Skin Tightening Treatment Is Here! Leesburg, VA

June 20, 2019

We’ve got it! The best skin tightening treatment is here! Vivace™ Fractional Micro Needle RF helps you achieve tighter, smoother, younger-looking skin anywhere on your body with minimal to no downtime. It sounds too good to be true, but it’s not! I’m so excited for you to experience this amazing treatment for yourself!

How Vivace skin tightening works

Vivace is a microneedling device that penetrates your skin with tiny needles, stimulating your skin’s natural healing response to grow healthy new collagen and elastin. But Vivace goes a step further by adding radiofrequency (RF) energy to the mix, which tightens the elastin within your skin to produce smoother, younger-looking skin where you need it.

Crepey skin has finally met its match!

Vivace is awesome at smoothing wrinkly skin on the face, neck and chest ((buy-bye, sun damage!), while also tightening crepey skin on the belly, arms, thighs, knees…the list goes on! By the way, Vivace also tightens pore size, improves skin tone and texture, and is virtually pain free!

There’s no downtime!

Some clients go out to dinner the night of their treatment! For your best results, we will apply a special serum to speed healing and boost your benefits. You should avoid makeup for a full 24 hours following your treatment. But you’ll feel so refreshed you probably wont’ even feel the urge to put on makeup!
We are so thrilled to offer you the most advanced age-defying solutions at AVIE! You deserve the best, and we are privileged to be your provider! To learn more about Vivace or to schedule your consultation, please call 703.870.3844 or request a consultation online today!
