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.

First and foremost, Dr. Shamban considers herself a skin scientist, a participant in dermatological research, technology and product development for skin rejuvenation. She has developed her own skin care line to extend the results of in-office procedures. She has extensive experience in the use of the latest lasers, radiofrequency, and injectables. Dr. Shamban is also an Assistant Clinical Professor of Dermatology at UCLA.

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.
