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.

If you’re one of the estimated 14 million Americans with the skin condition called rosacea, you know how debilitating its symptoms can be. Rosacea, which usually emerges on the face, is characterized by redness, swelling, enlarged blood vessels, and acne-like pimples and bumps. The condition probably has a genetic component, for it tends to run in families. It’s also exacerbated by sun exposure.

There is no cure for rosacea, but its symptoms can be successfully treated. Laser therapy can remove unseemly blood vessels and reduce redness and flushing. Oral and topical medications, including antibiotics, can help control the acne-like symptoms. Without treatment, symptoms worsen and flare-ups become more frequent. So seek out the care of a qualified physician today. Call for a personal evaluation and to learn more about your treatment choices for this stubborn but very manageable skin disorder.

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
