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.

Alas, as we age, our skin grows tired. Its two main proteins—collagen, which gives skin its “plumpness,” and elastin, which enables skin to “snap back” into shape after, say, flexing for a smile—begin to degrade. Our oil glands also become less active, leaving our skin looking dry and tired. Part of this degradation is a natural outcome of the aging process. But another part—a big part—is our own doing. You may have spent too much time in the sun, unprotected. Or perhaps you smoked. Both habits speed up the breakdown of collagen and elastin.

Today, thanks to the development of a wide variety of new, highly effective procedures and technologies, skin can be rejuvenated. You’ll never have the skin of a 20-year-old again, but your skin can look smoother, more vibrant—in other words, healthier. Many of these treatments, which include laser therapies, phototherapy, radiofrequency therapies, and dermal fillers, are non-invasive. Some can even be done over your lunch hour. So call a physician today and schedule a personal skin evaluation. Have a detailed conversation with him or her about your skin and its needs. It’s never too late to rejuvenate your skin—and reenergize your life.

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
