Beauty, Balance, and Brilliance: A Conversation with Dr. Farhan Qureshi of Noor Esthétique & Wellness Center

On this episode of The Alimond Show, we had the honor of sitting down with Dr. Farhan Qureshi—known by many as Dr. Q—a powerhouse of energy, service, and expertise. As the owner and medical director of Noor Esthétique & Wellness Center in Sterling, Virginia, Dr. Q is redefining what it means to combine science-backed aesthetics with heart-led care.

From Critical Care to Carbon Peels

Dr. Q’s story is one of multidimensional purpose. A trained physician, military reserve officer, hospitalist, telehealth provider, and now med spa owner, he’s someone who refuses to live a one-track life. “I have a lot of energy,” he laughed, “and I have to use it somewhere!”

His journey into aesthetics began with a passion for plastic surgery—one that had to be rerouted due to a back injury. But as minimally invasive aesthetic technology evolved, so did his vision. Noor Esthétique was born during a deployment in Peru, fueled by a desire to create something beautiful, purposeful, and impactful.

A Med Spa Rooted in Integrity and Innovation

Located just off Route 7, Noor Esthétique has quickly earned a reputation as one of Northern Virginia’s top boutique med spas. Known for their cutting-edge technology and inclusive treatments, the clinic specializes in advanced laser therapies designed to safely treat people of color—a cornerstone of their mission.

Dr. Q and his team are especially proud of their Pico Discovery laser and carbon peel (a.k.a. the “Hollywood Facial”), which can resurface skin and reduce wrinkles in less than 24 hours, with no downtime. And it’s not just hype—celebrity clients like Carmen Felder of Bravo and local news anchors are regulars.

But Dr. Q is also quick to clarify: “We say no to 30% of our clients—not because we don’t want to help, but because they don’t need it. We’re not just in the beauty business—we’re in the confidence business.”

Leadership, Systems, and Serving with Purpose

Running multiple businesses, serving in the military, and still practicing hospital medicine might sound impossible to most—but for Dr. Q, it comes down to clarity, delegation, and heart. He credits his success to his team, his systems, and his belief in leading with purpose. He’s also a champion of identifying hidden talent, often shifting team members into roles better suited to their strengths, proving that true leadership means lifting others into their potential.

Staying Ahead in a Fast-Moving Industry

While social media and trends play a role in aesthetic innovation, Dr. Q remains grounded in science. “I’m data-driven,” he emphasized. “Just because something is trending doesn’t mean it’s safe.” At Noor Esthétique, every procedure is vetted, every protocol considered, and client safety is always the top priority.

This balance of cautious innovation and honest transparency is what sets his practice apart. “Too much paint can ruin a painting,” he noted, reinforcing his commitment to natural, confidence-building results.

A Practice With Meaning

The name Noor—meaning light in Arabic—isn’t just a brand. It’s a tribute to Dr. Q’s son, Nur Yahya, and a symbol of the light he hopes to bring to every patient’s journey. It’s a name rooted in beauty, legacy, and love.

Final Words from Dr. Q

When asked to leave us with a quote that reflects his philosophy, Dr. Q shared this powerful line:

“One should work so hard that one day God Himself comes to you and asks, ‘What can I do for you?’”
– Paraphrased from poet Allama Iqbal

This ethos—of relentless, heart-filled effort—shines through in every facet of his practice.
