  • Member since October 25 2010 Abid Best Chicken Karai in NOVA - and their Kababs are good too :) I've been visiting Charcoal Kabab since I moved into the Herndon/Reston area years ago. They've expanded their location a couple times, and for good reason; they're constantly packed. The owners are a couple of brothers from Afghanistan who throughout it all have been able to maintain a solid menu of local favorites like chicken kababs, nehari, karai, and a good assortment of veggie dishes. I'd highly recommend!
  • Member since September 23 2009 Jasmine good food cheap This place is good for those that like to shop at international markets. They have a really good meat department. They will clean the meat/fish and stuff for you for free. They clean fish really well. They sell their items for really good prices. They have big bags of rice. I know that most international people can't live without rice. lol. Here the rice is well-priced and they sell a wide variety of it.

Tired of going to unprofessional salons? this is the place for you. They have also been featured in hair magazines such as Hype Hair magazine.They get you in and out as quickly as possible unlike many other places.Some of their prices may be a bit high, but I would say you get what you pay for so it is well worth the price

This thrift store is neatly organized and they have a wide range of items. If you sign up for their membership card (which is free) you are eligible for some great deals. They have specials every Tuesday!!

The Workings of the Medical Spa

You may be familiar with the term spa and may have even visited on occasion for a facial or massage. A term that may not be as familiar is the medical spa. This is a spa that offers the same services as a traditional spa but is overseen by a licensed physician and can offer additional treatments.

There are certain conditions that an esthetician is not able to treat. Among these are things such as brown spots, broken capillaries, and redness that can usually be treated with more aggressive methods that require medical supervision. One way to treat these conditions is with a variety of lasers. There are many different types of laser treatments and they all require additional training and supervision. The laser is very effective but it can be dangerous if not used properly. Also common at medical spas are injections such as Botox, and facial fillers. These require knowledge of anatomy as you need to make sure the injection goes in the right place and that you are not hitting a nerve as this could cause temporary paralysis. At a spa you can get a light chemical peel to refresh your skin, but if you are wanting an aggressive peel it is necessary to visit a medical spa. With an aggressive peel the acid concentration is much higher and the potential for skin injury greater so it is important that a qualified medical professional is performing the procedure.

When thinking about the term medical spa you might think of a clinical atmosphere and not somewhere warm and relaxing like a traditional spa feels. While it is true that it might look a bit more clinical, there are still the relaxing services such as massage that are offered. Some medical spas also have services such as acupuncture and nutritional counseling available.

When choosing a medical spa make sure that you have done research into the licensing and training of the staff to make sure that you are going somewhere where everyone is properly trained and knows what they are doing. A medical spa can be a wonderful experience if you want both relaxation and that little bit extra.
