Located right in the Landsdowne Town Center, the Radiance Salon & Medi-Spa was a surprise to me. You would never guess as you walked by the traditional hair cutting stations,nail and pedicure chairs, that once you stepped through one of the unmarked doors, you would be in a different section containing rooms typically seen at a doctor’s office. Established by Dr. Phillip Chang, a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, who also owns and directs the Aesthetica Cosmetic Surgery and Laser Center, this salon/spa combination is designed for those seeking a one-stop shop for a partial or complete makeover.
After being offered a beverage (which included wine) I sat down with Sarah Safa, one of the two Physician Assistants on staff. Instead of the traditional white lab coat, this PA though, wore a black t-shirt with the word “BOTOX” in rhinestones. No subtle hints here. “Our happiest clientele are those in the 30-60 age range who want to look their best rather than turn back the clock.”




Beauty emanates from all corners at Northern Virginia Dermatology, Vein & Surgery Center.From the state-of-the-art brand new facility,to Dr. Maragh who looks more like a beauty queen than your average doctor, to the beautiful and dramatic results of all her procedures.
Stepping into this pleasant office, you are immediately plunged into a ‘spa mood’ when your senses are surrounded by soothing music, running water fountains, and aromatherapy. Botox (sold in units), fillers, facials, etc. are all part of what you will find here, but if laser treatment is what you’re after, then this is the place. They take their laser seriously here, as all laser work is done by doctors (except laser hair removal, which is performed by a nurse).
