Aesthetic Chemistry MedSpa opened in May to help Restonians enhance their inherent beauty. Each of its co-owners has a unique skill set: Sue Mattis is the CEO; Alissa Mattis, the marketing director, and Sheida Chaikin PA-C, the master injector.
The trio met when working together at another medspa where they discovered they had “the perfect working chemistry,” Sue Mattis said. Their logo features a molecule where each of three atoms represents one of the owners, and how “when the three come together, there is a powerful outcome,” she explained.
Chaikin comes from a background in primary care. She has always been passionate about medicine, which makes their “molecule” an ideal trio where Sue Mattis takes care of the business end and Alissa Mattis focuses on marketing.
Chaikin and her family have lived in Reston for more than 11 years; she has resided in Northern Virginia since she was born, a self-proclaimed “NoVa Lifer.” She loves the community that supported her through her breast cancer, and now she wants to give back.
“The medspa space can be hard to get into,” said Chaikin, so to make them stand out they were strategic with which services they chose to offer. Chaikin’s years as a Restoninan provided her with insight into what services and products make sense for the local population. Aesthetic Chemistry MedSpa “didn’t want to have an overwhelming amount of options, not too much,” she said, and they plan to further tailor their available services to their client needs as they grow.
Services include injectables, aesthetics (Hydrafacial, Morpheus8, SkinPen, and more), and laser treatments (IPL and hair removal). They are the only business in Northern Virginia with the brand-new OptimasMAX machine. They create specialized treatment plans around individual needs. Their suite of treatments was “carefully designed to work together, enhancing and complementing each other to achieve the best possible results for our clients,” said Sue Mattis.
The team also offers semaglutide, and what makes them different is that “it is medically monitored,” said Chaikin. They offer “a complete package with nutritional consults. People aren’t just coming in for their injections; they come for the full program of diet and exercise to make sure it will be successful.”
When we feature businesses in The Reston Letter, we are not endorsing them as a company or speaking to their credibility. We are telling their stories according to them. We want to give exposure to a lot of businesses, but that does not necessarily mean that we have firsthand experience with them as clients. Hopefully you will always have great experiences with them, but our job stops once we've told their story. We cannot vouch for them beyond that.
