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.

Spider Vein
Office Image
Office Image

Telengiectasias, more commonly called "spider veins", are typically a highly treatable problem. Lasers can be very effective at destroying these excess blood vessels that reside close to the surface of the skin. Perhaps the biggest problem with spider veins is the tendency for them to return if you don't properly protect your skin after you remove them. This is because many spider veins are caused by cumulative sun damage so once you start to get them you will get more unless you wear sunblock everyday and practice good sun avoidance tactics. Call your doctor to set up a consultation and get rid of those unsightly facial veins today!

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
