Owner of the Laser Institute for Dermatology and European Skin Care in Santa Monica and the Ava MD Medspa in Beverly Hills, Dr. Ava Shamban is a Board Certified Dermatologist with over twenty years of experience treating skin. She was the featured dermatologist on ABC television’s “Extreme Makeover.” While working on the show, she had a limited time to get people looking their best. By using a combination of innovative techniques in an accelerated time frame, she was able to clear acne, rejuvenate aging skin and ease acne scarring in as little as two weeks! Realizing that not everyone was able to have an “Extreme Makeover,” she developed a formula for combination treatments available in both of her offices. With two offices and her skin care line, AVA MD, Dr. Shamban provides her patients with the most sophisticated advances in dermatology, aesthetics and products.

Acne scars are a difficult reminder of our skin’s unfortunate past. These marks are left behind following an acne breakout. Acne pimples cause injury deep into our dermis, and as our skin heals collagen is left behind which can result in a scar. There is very little one can do to prevent acne scarring other than to attempt to control their active acne. There are new developments, however, which can treat acne scars and improve their texture.
The science of lasers has developed some very exciting devices which can improve acne scarring. Fractional lasers such as the Fraxel and the SmartSkin treatment can greatly improve skin texture and tone. Please call today to learn more about the latest treatments.

I have had age spots for as long as I can remember. One visit to Dr. Shamban's office and my skin never looked so good, so smooth and naturally beautiful. I have returned for the Thermage, which tightens my skin, botox that I will never live without now. No more wrinkles on my forhead. I feel refreshed and rested looking all the time. Thank you so very much, Tracy
