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.

Reducing the appearance of cellulite is one of the toughest goals to achieve in skin care. Millions of creams, treatments and lotions have been tried over the years, only to fail to make a dent in those unsightly dimples on our skin. Fortunately researchers have been hard at work on the tricky problem of cellulite. A number of new treatments are now available which target cellulite. Some use lasers to heat up the underlying skin, others use a form of mechanical message, while still other treatments aim to improve cellulite with radiofrequency energy. A number of new devices utilize a combination of all the above in an effort to improve cellulite as much as possible. Nothing yet is the perfect cure for cellulite, but these new technologies are often able to improve the appearance of it.

It’s important to understand the limitations of treating cellulite. If you go out looking for a ‘quick fix’, you are setting yourself for disappointment. If you are hoping to reduce the appearance of cellulite on your body, call today to schedule a consultation so a physician may sit down with you and discuss your options for treatment.

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

Treatment Tips
Always seek treatment with an experienced physician.
Be willing to travel a bit for the best possible treatment.
During your consultation, ask questions regarding results, concerns, and after care.
We provide the public an informative, authoritative, and credible resource for understanding cellulite and its treatment. There are so many products and devices which claim to “improve” or “reduce” cellulite it is very difficult to know what is truly helpful. As a Patient’s Guide® website, we are committed to the highest standards of medical accuracy and review.
