Patients from Chantilly, Virginia are seen at Elume Medspa in Fairfax, roughly ten miles southeast of the Route 28 corridor. This is a small, owner-run medical spa rather than a chain: one private suite on Blenheim Boulevard, open since 2009, with treatments provided under the care of Shaheen Ghafari, a licensed Nurse Practitioner. Chantilly households tend to be Dulles-corridor commuters, and a practice that sits ten minutes past the I-66 interchange usually fits an existing route rather than adding a new one.
Down Route 28, across on I-66
The usual approach is Sully Road, Route 28, running south from Chantilly to the I-66 interchange, then eastbound I-66 for roughly three miles before dropping onto Route 50 and Fairfax Boulevard. Main Street carries you the last stretch into the old town grid, where North Street meets Blenheim Boulevard. The whole run measures about ten and a half miles and is usually a twenty minute drive outside of peak commuting hours. Because the last two miles are surface streets rather than highway, arrival time is fairly predictable even when I-66 is not.
The treatments Chantilly patients ask about
Requests from this side of the county skew toward appearance work with a long interval between visits. The most common bookings:
- Lip blushing and ombre powder brows, the two cosmetic tattooing services booked most often.
- BBL photofacial, used for sun damage, redness and pigment across the face, neck and chest.
- Venus Legacy, a radiofrequency body treatment scheduled as a course rather than a one-off.
- Botox and the wider injectables menu, administered by our Nurse Practitioner.
- Morpheus8, the practice’s radiofrequency microneedling platform for the face and neck.
Everything else, from microdermabrasion to laser hair removal, is listed on the treatments page.
What Chantilly patients are choosing when they book here
The Route 28 corridor is dense with retail and franchise beauty. This practice is neither. It is one suite, one Nurse Practitioner, and equipment chosen for a medical setting rather than a storefront. Elume Medspa has operated in Fairfax since 2009 and carries a 4.6-star rating over more than 45 Google reviews. The initial consultation is free and involves no obligation to book anything; its purpose is to work out what is appropriate, if anything.
Timing a visit around the commute
Chantilly patients frequently book at either end of the day, since the drive is straightforward before the morning rush and after it clears. A consultation takes about half an hour. Cosmetic tattooing appointments are the longest on the calendar and are best planned as their own outing. Injectable visits are brief. Whatever you book, the confirmation tells you how long to allow, so the return trip up Route 28 is not a surprise.

Chantilly, answered
How far is it really from Chantilly?
Ten and a half miles, and about twenty minutes when I-66 is behaving. Route 28 south to I-66 east, then Route 50 and Fairfax Boulevard into Main Street.
Do I have to book a consultation before I can book a treatment?
Not always. Several services can be scheduled directly through the scheduling page. The free consultation exists for anyone who would rather discuss options in person before committing the time.
Where do I park once I arrive?
In the building’s own free lot. The suite is on the ground floor, so there is no garage to navigate after a drive down the corridor.
Do you cover other towns out this way?
Yes. Centreville is the neighboring page, and there are separate pages for Oakton and Vienna. Directions from anywhere else are on the contact page.
