Happy 5th Birthday to Vitalia Medspa!

 It's always an inspiration to hear about someone who followed their dreams and are doing something their passionate about...especially when it has led to a successful and thriving business after 5 years!

That's the story of Cathy Hill and Vitalia Medspa www.vitaliamedspava.com in Falls Church.  Cathy's earlier career was in senior management with the U.S Geological Survey where she gained experience in organization and leadership.  But she really had a desire to help women look and feel their best through non-invasive treatments.  So she combined her skills and passion to launch Vitalia in 2007.

Vitalia offers a full menu of services for the face and body including facials, laser treatments, injectibles and permanent makeup. Clients enjoy taking advantage of  special pricing on their Botox/Dysport Appreciation Days which they offer two days of every month.

When asked what she's most proud of as the medispa plans their 5th anniversary party on 4/26, here was Cathy's response:  "What I am most proud about is helping women feel more confident about themselves, through the use of our services.  We have had so many women tell us they get positive comments from their friends about their skin, and how they look younger!  I even had one woman tell me she was being excluded from office meetings by her younger colleagues.  Then, as her skin and appearance began to improve they were including her more.  I'm sure it was not intentional on the part of the younger colleagues, and I also suspect as our client's skin began to improve her self-confidence improved. But that's what we are all about, and it humbles me to hear this from clients.  Everyone deserves to feel proud about their looks!!

You can join in the celebration at the Vitalia Medspa Anniversary party on Thursday, April 26th from 4 to 8pm.  Every room of Vitalia will be full of specials and experts answering questions about popular treatments.  The spa's Medical Director, Dr. Eric Khairalla  will be on hand  as well as reps from Allergen (Botox, Juvederm & Latisse), iS Clinical, GloMinerals and Obagi.   Have a mini-makeover while you're there and join in the drawings for door prizes and giveaways.

In addition to the party specials Vitalia will be offering many other anniversary specials on treatments  (you can find them all in BeautyInDC.com's Hot Deals section http://www.beautyindc.com/hotdeals.php) as a thank you to their clients.

Happy 5th birthday to Vitalia and here's to many more!

More Qi in the New Year

As the Chinese New Year begins the time seems perfect for an introduction to the added menu of services at Qi Spa www.qispadc.com.

Qi (pronounced chee) is an ancient Chinese word for life force or energy in our body. We are at are best when our "qi" is in balance.

The spa, above M Street in Georgetown, has been keeping it's client's faces and bodies relaxed and glowing with a team of estheticians, masseuses and nail technicians all led by owner Ophelia Zhao.

But with the new year comes a new level of services in the medical aesthetics realm. Now Qi can provide an even wider range of treatments for face and body that have been knocked out of "qi" by age, stress or life events.

Performing these advanced technologies, is Monica Vaheer, a Master Medical Esthetician with ten years of experience in assisting plastic surgeons and training in non-invasive techniques.

Her passion for achieving dramatic results is evident as she shares some before and after photos of clients. One who wanted a post-natal tummy makeover was able to lose 3 inches in one session with Monica's combination of Vela-Shape and radio frequency therapies. Another client displays a more lifted facial profile in her after photo.

Monica's approach to aesthetics is a thorough one, beginning with a detailed profile of the client so she can develop a comprehensive program of treatments, products and at home regimens to help the client achieve his or her goals.

For someone looking for that non-invasive face-lift it can include a series of Obagi peels and collagen stimulating technologies as well as a take home kit of peels by Exuviance. Monica feels a client receiving these treatments will be able to see results similar to fillers, Botox or even surgery.

She has also developed a comprehensive program for someone wanting to lose weight and tone up stubborn areas without liposuction. This can include a combination of appetite suppressant vitamins and teas, VelaShape, Mesotherapy and radio frequency technologies.

Qi is introducing their medical grade services with some special pricing. These are some deals that are in effect this month:

3 sessions of Anti-aging facial treatments for $450.

Lipo-dissolve 3 sessions for $450.

Facelift for $200.

Wrinkles/scars treatment for $110.
