Mariam did such an amazing job! I explained that this was my first time getting my lips done and that I was nervous so she walked me through the process step by step and did exactly what I asked of the service. After my treatment I was extremely happy with my lips and will be continuing to go to impressions MediSpa for services going further. Thank you Mariam!!! read more

The staff at MediSpa is amazing! Teresa, who performed my ultherapy on me, was kind, patient, and her experience as an ICU nurse shone through. I can't wait to see my results in 2-3 months! I've had Botox with Mariam, and I love how I look! I'm considering more with Mariam as she does amazing work. Next...Vi Peel with Julie! read more

I have been seeing Mariam for a few years now for Botox and fillers. I also had an ultherapy treatment on my lower face. I am very happy with Mariam's work and her warm personality. It is important to me that the treatments leave me looking better but still natural and that is what she does. read more

I couldn't be more happy with Impressions - After going through surgeries I was left with facial scars. I went to see Mariam first for the Fraxel Co2 laser and I got great results! She really took her time to explain the process and took her time to make sure she addressed all my problem areas. I later moved on to have some fillers Juviderm and Restalyn. I was so pleased by her attention to detail. This place was a life changer, and my confidence has gotten so much better. Mariam has always been understanding and has been there to fit me in at the last minute read more

I went to See Mariam Alimi, Rn, Bsn. I totally love this place and would recommend to anyone that ask. The staff is awesome but Miriam was very knowledgeable about all the products for Botox and fillers. She took her time and explained everything and i could not be happier with the end results. It was painless and turned out beautiful.. It was definitely a liquid face lift and worth the time and money. Thanks again Impression Medispa read more

I have been going to Impressions MediSpa for over a year now and I can't say enough about this place! I absolutely love their services from the friendly, personable staff to the expertise in their administration of treatments and the great deals they offer every month. Shohreh at Impressions is hands down the best injector of fills/botox than any other medispa/plastic surgeon/dermatologist I have ever been to and trust me I shop around for the best deals and best services. The staff always makes you feel welcome and never judges you or makes you feel stupid if you have a question or want to come back for a touch up. Some places I have been show their true colors after they get to know you and the false facade of really caring quickly wears off, but not at Impressions. I will always be a loyal customer. :) read more

I have had a chicken poxs scar on my face for years. I did my reseach on google and learned about different treatments. I called Impressions and spoke to Mariam and really appreciate how patient she was. I had many questions for her and even though I could tell the office was busy she stayed polite and didn't rush me. I told her I would think about and call back. When I called the next day I spoke to another girl in the office Milissa. I have to admit is was pretty first class as she knew I had called in and had a general idea about what I wanted to do. I confirmed my appointment and then went in. The office was nice and inviting. I received a proper welcome and didn't have much a wait time. Treatment went great! I felt comfortable the whole time. I am not a huge reviewer and am new to yelp but everyone this place honestly rocks! read more

Mariam is freaking amazing. I somehow stumbled upon her instagram page and I'm so lucky I did. After fully stalking her page I decided to schedule a consultation. When trusting someone with your face it's important to not only see their work but also meet them to see if you vibe with each other. Let me just say she is an absolute gem! She is kind and honest in the best way possible. I told her some of my concerns with my face and she never tried to over-sell me on fillers or botox. That happens a lot in this industry and is such a turn off. It was such a breath of fresh air to feel like I could really trust her opinion with no hesitation. I was also getting married in a month and didn't want to over do it or look like a completely different person. We were on the same page and she knew exactly what to do to help enhance my natural features. She really took her time to make sure she achieved the goals we set that day. Now every time I look at my wedding photos I can't help but think of her and how grateful I am. She is truly a skilled artist. Full disclosure, I don't normally post yelp reviews but I would be doing a disservice to those in this area looking for an expert injector. I highly recommend Mariam and can't thank her enough for giving my chin and cheek bones life! read more

I've decided to write a review after my fourth visit here. What I appreciate the most about this place is that the staff gives honest professional opinions versus the opinion that's most profitable and that's a quality in a business that I respect. I have had juvederm done about 6-7 times now, 4 times being here. Maryam inserts the product the least painfully I've experienced this far and I've had about 4 different professionals prior do it in the past. I have a busy work schedule and Maryam always manages to find a way to squeeze me in during the perfect time so I can go back to work and look normal on Monday, sometimes on pretty short notice. I feel like Maryam spends a bit more time on the consultation than some other professionals do which I really like. I used to get one syringe of juvederm into my lips yearly but I recently decided I wanted to increase the overall size so I have been to Maryam twice this year to make them larger. I am satisfied with my results and my bruising and swelling has been very minimal with Maryam. I would definitely recommend Impressions to others! :) read more

See all

I have the pleasure of writing a positive review for Impressions MediSpa...I am so impressed with my experience with the owner, Mariam Alimi who did a beautiful job with filler in several areas of my face recently.She is an artist and perfectionist and I absolutely adore her sweet and compassionate personality..she put my nervous doubts at ease. I highly recommend seeing her for her advise on what to do to make you look younger and beautiful. We all have something that bothers us esthetically and want improvement. She also has a wonderful staff that are so helpful and equally as nice. read more

This is coming from someone who was TERRIFIED of needles and getting lip filler. Mariam is so gentle and trustworthy, so please don't be scared or anxious to go to her. Her work is amazing and she really listens to your needs. She also makes sure to remember from previous visits what your concerns, wants, and needs were in order to help you get to where you want to be and meet your ultimate goal. This is important because it builds trust and makes me want to keep going back. I wanted my lips more even and symmetrical and she helped me reach that goal and now I'm more confident than ever! Go to Mariam for any of your medispa needs! read more

If you are looking for the perfect injector, you've found her! Mariam takes the whole experience and makes it personal. You can tell she truly cares about you, your results, and her craft. Every time I see her and ask about additional treatments, she always is honest and never tries to SELL me anything. Instead, she really listens to both what I want, while considering my facial structure and the artistry behind it all. Many times I've gone in thinking I want additional work, but left untouched because of Mariam's advice. She truly is an expert, an artist, trustworthy, and above all, a good person and lovely human! Don't waste your time or money with any other business or injector. Mariam brings it all to the table with precision, empathy, positivity, and technical finesse. I can't imagine letting anyone else handle all my aesthetic needs! read more

I have being going to various Medspas in Northern VA area for last 15 years, but after the visit for fillers & Dysport with Mariam---I knew that I finally found true professional who does magic with fillers!!!! I had been in different salons for lip fillers previously, and I was left with crooked lips. I honestly thought that no one can fix my lips, but thanks to Mariam--now I have beautiful full, perfect and proportional lips!!! She also did some Dysport injections, and fixed some wrinkles around my eyes which no other injector could fix!!! I was truly in aw with her professionalism, true passion for perfection and I can guarantee you that she is one the very very best facial filler and injection artist in Northern VA area! I finally found someone who really does wonders to your face with help of any type of injection and I will trust only her with my face now on! read more

I was soo scared to get my lips done for the first time and she did such an awesome job! She talked to me through the whole process and made me feel comfortable. Also I really didn't think I needed any filler on my bottom lip because it's already really big and without me saying anything she pointed out that I would only need filler for the top lip. My lips came out perfect I will definitely be going back to her!! read more

I love Mariam Alimi and Impressions MediSpa. I have been going for a while. very professional. Mariam is the one doing my laser. and she is very kind and the price is great. She is always making sure about the result when she is doing her procedure. she is explaining very well and professionally, if I have any question she is answering very well with confident and comforting me. She is also making sure I get good result. Its not all about money. Its all about She cares and she is making sure the person goes home happy. she is fantastic. she is fabulous and believe me I got my result. and I am very happy. I highly recommend this place. read more

If you're thinking about getting facial fillers I highly recommend Mariam Alimi. I was considering tear trough fillers for a really long time but nervous about finding someone online and not knowing if they were truly​ qualified. I always thought a plastic surgeon was the best option but what I learned is finding someone who is trained and skilled in facial fillers (which not all doctors are) is critical! I was referred to Impressions by my hairstylist who also had her tear trough's done and I'm so thankful! Mariam was extremely welcoming and spent a lot of time listening to my concerns/goals. She did an excellent job explaining how she could improve the look of my under eyes and other areas of my face which really put me at ease and made me feel confident about moving forward. My goal was to look like a better version of myself (not overfilled or "Done") and she totally got it and executed it to perfection. Another thing to note is that I had gotten lip filler a while back by a board certified plastic surgeon and had some insecurities about the way the filler looked. Overall I was pleased with the results but felt you could see a pocket on my upper lip where the filler was injected when I smiled. I asked friends about it and no one seemed to notice but Mariam took the time to listen and agreed there was an issue. She ended up dissolving some of my old filler and correcting it. I was really nervous about the downtime​ since I wasn't expecting to do 2 procedures that day. Over there was minimal pain after numbing. The next day was the worst, lots of swelling and minor bruising. By the second-day​ things had gone down and by day 4-5 I looked back to normal! So happy with the results. Hope this helps anyone who is considering filler! read more

Amazing! I went to Mariam twice already and I'm so happy with the results! My lips look amazing..

I have to say if you want honesty good care great customer service excellent products and variety of procedures available to you this is the place to go. Mariam is awesome! She listens to your needs and gives you the best honest advice that works for you with many options. I have tried many products and I cannot say that only one was good because all of them worked very well for me and I was happy with the results I know that if in the future I need any other service I would be going back to the same exact place. read more

I have been here many many times. And it really surprises me to hear some remarks like this. I couldn't be happier with them. Shorah is wonderful and honestly the best in the area when it comes to looking naturally youthful. She is kind, professional and talented. Mariam is part owner, whom I couldn't adore more. She treated me, with a special little wedding gift recently, which I thought was so sweet. I got a wonderful peel recently, that left me looking so radiant almost immediately. I think it was called Obaji Blue Radiance Peel. Melissa did it for me, and immediately after I washed it off, I saw the glow. I was invited for dinner, that night and everyone commented on my skin. Btw- the girl that wrote below that she got three peels and it still didn't work. Everyone knows you need to be more patient. Good skincare, heathy eating, rest all contribute. She also mentioned her skin was red after a peel and raw. That eventually, left a mark. But before that she mentioned, "I was washing, vigorously scrubbing, and moisturizing my face twice a day for 14 days, and it burned all over, burned like hell". And to that, I would conclude that your an official idiot. Who does a peel and then scrubs vigorously for 2 weeks, and expects not to have red marks and then discoloration? She offered you a sunscreen for a stupid $40 dollars, and you declined. If you would have boughten it, maybe you wouldn't have a mark now. When you do peels, you need to protect your skin. And the sunscreen was a little pricey, probably because it was the best on the market. You pay for what you get. Don't get me wrong, I love deals and don't like to pay full price for anything...but I don't go cheap on my skin. And it shows. But clearer you have no idea, what you're doing or talking about. I love this place and my skin is honestly my best feature :) read more

I'm from CA and have had the opportunity to experience some of the top notch medispas in San Francisco and let me just say that this place not only holds its own, but the prices are absolutely unbeatable. Mariam is not only skilled, she is personable, sweet and truly a lovely person. This place is, hands down, the best. read more

I have seen their massage therapist twice, Katie. SHE IS WONDERFUL!!!! She really knows her stuff and you can tell she feels at ease working with clients. Her knowledge on the skeletal and muscle system is far more advanced then any massage therapist I have seen. If you have any back issue, pain, etc. this is the lady you should come in and see. Hands down wonderful. read more

I recently had some procedures done at Impressions and I am so happy with all of my results! I started with melissa and had the Accent for the back of my thighs. I have some cellulite and dimpling and 3 treatments with the Accent has made a huge difference and I'm now ready for summer! Melissa was so pleasant and the experience was great, not painful at all and actually felt like a warm massage. Next I decided to get some Dysport and Restylane with the nurse practitioner Shohreh. She was amazing! I've had Restylane in the past and I've been pleased but Shohreh had a great eye and put it where she could "lift" other areas. I've had several compliments that I look great but no one can tell that I had anything done which I love. She had a nice gentle touch and I could tell that she does this a lot and truly enjoys it. I would highly recommend both Melissa and Shohreh depending on what you are looking for. ThI've already referred a friend to Shohreh and she is very happy with her results as well. They are both great and I'm looking forward to going back for more treatments! read more

I first went to this spa after finding it in an advertisement. This made me a little nervous cause I usually get a reference from a friend. But my fears were eased as soon as I entered. The spa is clean and warm and friendly. The people who work there are professional and courteous. They listen to your concerns and give you realistic expectations. They take a personal interest in getting you to where you want to be. I would recommend Impressions to anyone...in fact I have already. read more

I had the worst experience ever. I got hurts on my face per one month and now is completely the same. I bought on Groupon the second one will be wasted because I will never come back to this place. read more

I am so glad to have found Impressions MediSpa. The service is excellent, the environment is clean and comforting and the staff is very helpful and friendly. I had laser hair removal done for my underarm and practitioner was so friendly and explained everything in great detail, it was a nice experience. The results are great and much less uncomfortable than my previous experience with laser hair removal in California. They offer an array of services from laser hair removal, microdermabrasion, facials, to Botox and other anti-aging services. And the prices are really competitive plus they offer some great promotional deals. read more

Steer clear of these people. If you have a buy one get one make sure you have it in writting, they will try and screw you out of everything. And on top of that, they have no artistic capability with their injections. PLEASE KNOW WHAT YOU WANT before you go to them for anythings. read more

Think twice about this medspa; I wish I did. They miss inform you about your treatments. They have no respect for their clients what so ever. They give you false information to draw you in and make you think that their treatments will work and later they inform you that there is no hope for your cause. They take money from you. They neglect to acknowledge their faults as a business. They do not give all their customers the same pricing. The employees who work there are air heads and have no concern for you and have a tremendous lack of experience. I went in for laser hair removal on my entire face. They said I would have a significant reduction after 5 to 6 treatments. Even after my 7th one I still had the same consistency of hair that I had after for 1st and second treatment. Instead of accepting their faults the employees claimed that I had a hormone disorder, which I tested negative for. They gave other customers receiving the same treatment as I was 50 percent off after their 7th treatment and I was looking forward to that. However, when it came down to the price they told me that they have no idea what I was talking about with the whole 50 percent off thing and they told me specifically not to return to the medspa because they told me I was not going to see any more results. I spent 700 dollars on my laser treatment and it still hasn't done anything. As I mentioned earlier they first take your money and then inform you that there is no hope for your cause. When we asked to speak to the owner the employees never gave us a straight answer. We asked to speak to the the physician that supposedly overlooks the clinic but we were informed that we are not able to speak to the physician for some unstated reason, so we then started to think that the doctor that overlooked the spa never existed in the first place. The employees have attitude problems. read more

I had my first peel done today at Impressions and not sure why others had a mediocre experience because my mine was excellent. They were very accommodating even though I called last minute. When the initial appointment didn't work, they informed me of an opening via email which was very nice. The office is bright and welcoming and not at all pretentious. My aesthetician was so nice and made me feel very comfortable. Melissa was awesome and we even talked even though my service was over. I also would've never known I had melasma and was provided advice and offered the proper skincare for the condition. The location is very accessible and I laughed about how they're in the "toilet bowl" building. Impressions will be my goto for advanced skincare. :) read more

Impressions MediSpa is by far the best place for skin treatment and other services. I needed a dark spot on my upper lip lightened prior to my wedding and Melissa did a terrific face peel on me. I cannot wait to return for laser hair removal. They have the most state of the art lasers! Best customer service around too! read more

I just finished my 3rd hair removal treatment on my legs as Impressions and I love love love my results!!! It took me some time to finally convince myself as I am a total wimp to of any kind of pain. Well, the best thing is they have a pain free laser with this cooling action so it has really been a great experience. Also, the staff there makes you feel really comfortable and they are knowledgable in what they do. I love this place and the price is great too :). read more

I bought a bikini hair removal 7 visit package for $1000. They state you see 80-90% results. A year later after doing those treatments I have still not seen even 15% hair reduction. All that pain and money. These people screwed me over. I was technically an "ideal" skin candidate- light skin, brunette hair. Then when I complained about not seeing ANY reduction the owner Miriam said, "notice that have it written that we don't guarantee results." WHO spends $1000 for NO results?! Don't be fooled by the way they talk nice to get your money. read more

I started with Impression MediSpa in 2008 before they moved to their new location, and I have been satisfied. I tried other treatments such as LipoShock on other SPA and by far, this is the BEST Accent XL for fat reduction & stretch marks. Customer Services are great; both Mariam & Melissa, not sure if Melissa is still there, but I'm returning for a who new set of treatment. Commute can be a pain with traffic, but it's worth returning back to this place and results were effective for me. I highly recommend this place! read more

So, I called Impressions the other day to schedule an appointment with Shohreh for some Restylane and learned that she is no longer there! She was the only reason I use to come to this place and I was extremely dissapointed to know she wasn't there. I guess I was even more upset because the staff couldn't tell me where she had gone. I'm not sure if that was something they were hiding or if they just didn't want to disclose it. Anyways, after doing some digging up I found her! She's now located across from Tysons Galleria at 8180 Greensboro Drive in Mclean. I'm gonna try see her later this week for some touch-ups:) read more

The team was professional and informed. Clean and nice setting. I just had a photo and LDC laser treatment done there by Melissa - I mean "just" like 30 minutes ago - my face is burning to be expected but I was impressed with Melissa's knowledge and laser experience as I orginially went in for a light vital peel. I changed and paid the extra money as she was very honest with my about the results. I wanted to have a more invasive treatment so it looked like I made a difference. So far I am extrememly pleased with the service and treatment I received. I will post more once I see the results !! read more

I just came accross this medical spa online about 6 months ago...I've been going to them for laser hair removal and love my results!!! I have done 5 treatments so far, I can say my bikini area is 90% hair free and my legs are closer to 70%...I still have 2 treatments left. Tip make sure you shave the day of the treatment I have noticed this makes my session more comfortable. read more

I have been to Impressions Medispa a few times. It is actually a money-making business who does not care about its customers. They offer specials and will inject you, not according to your needs, but to sell a special. Shohreh Shirkhorshidi, MSN, FNP - Nurse Practitioner does not take the time. I will NEVER go there again. I always I pay for Botox but usually get Dysport. read more

I lucked upon this spa searching for a spa that provided Accent XL services and had flexible scheduling. They provided both, so I immediately scheduled a consultation. Their pricing was as expected - the market rate for a series of treatments. I first wanted the facial area, and after a couple of treatments I was so pleased with the thoroughness of Melissa's treatments, that I purchased another series of treatments for the thigh area. Melissa takes the time to be sure she's given you a quality treatment. I am pleased with the results so far, and although I realized that our individual responses to the treatments can be unique, I am happy to say that I can see the improvement on my body in the areas where I want to tighten the skin . I do drink plenty of water and continue my other routines of skin tightening for my body areas to support/help the process (face-serums, thighs-exercise). If this quality continues, I will certainly consider Impressions MediSpa other services such as Laser Lipo in the future. Hope this helps! read more

I have been going to Impressions MediSpa for quite awhile and I have been over the top happy with each visit. I have had the pleasure of dealing with Shohreh & Mariam, but I'm sure you can't go wrong with anyone there. The services that I have received are Restylane & Dysport, I have had several IPL's and have done one Vi Peel and plan to do another one in the fall. If you give this place a try you will not be disappointed and you will never need to look further for these types of services. This will be your go to spot. Both Shohreh & Mariam are quite gifted. Words cannot describe the difference you will see. I have had the services listed above done before, but the results didn't even come close to the results I received at Impressions. I mean they were o.k., but I was always willing to try someplace new. Once you visit Impressions you will never want to go any place else. They are a true gem in skin care services and I truly feel very fortunate to have found them and plan to have a long lasting relationship. read more

Buyer beware of this place. There's a reason Brilliant Distinctions points aren't allowed here. They have a good sales strategy, be careful or you'll pay more than you wanted & get over treated. I have a forehead that had so much Dysport injected into it that I had blood on my pillow the next morning. I had bruises that stayed for 3 weeks. I paid $700 for that!!! and I didn't even want my forehead done like that, just very little. They keep you busy by asking you questions while they shoot you up. My eyes are permanently puffy for the next 4 - 5 months because they overtreated my forehead so much that my eyebrows & lids sag. I am not a disgruntled person, I am only writing this to help those who might stumble upon this place. Initially they sell you with a low unit price but their goal is to have you walking out paying more than you planned and not to mention the terrible affects on your face. I wish I had read more reviews, like not just the high stars at the top of the list. I hope someone reads mine before going there. Oh and I did call them because I was so worried, they had some canned schtick which meant nothing. Basically I won't get my money back and I have to look like this for 5 months. I would hire a lawyer but I don't have the time or money. read more
