Wonderful Experience!
Can’t say enough wonderful things about this place! Staff is amazing & Dr Shamban is a true artist with injectables. I’m a new mom so I feel & look tired like all the time. Dr Shamban completely rejuvenated my look so I’m still me, but just a better version.
A Knowledgable and Gentle Artist!
Dr. Shamban is fantastic! I was pretty nervous because I'd never had any cosmetic work done before, but Dr. Shamban took the time to explain everything to me - it's clear how knowledgable and intelligent she is. Everything she does is SO natural looking. I trust her with my face from here on out!

Botox - Beverly Hills, CA
Dr. Shamban is the best. There's no one else I'd let put a needle as close to my eye as she does. She opens up my left eye so that my eyes are symmetrical. I think Dr. Shamban is a magician. Thank you so much. I continually fill out these reviews but it never is reflected in my records to receive the discount.

Amazing Treatment for Acne Scars!! - Santa Monica, CA
Incredible technology, incredible treatment. I can honestly say that Bellafill has been a life saver for me. I've had acne scars on my face since high school. I suffered with the scarring through college, my 20's, and into my professional career. Insecure doesn't even begin to describe how I felt when I saw the girls and guys around me with perfect skin. My whole life I just wished that the scarring would go away. I just wanted to be normal. A friend referred me to Dr. Ava Shamban

Huge Fan - Excellent Results, Excellent Patient Care - Santa Monica, CA
Not only am I thrilled with my results, EVERY TIME I am at Ava MD, the patient care is excellent. I have been seen by Dr. Shamban, Erin and Renita - they are above and beyond knowledgeable and kind. Seriously folks, save your Groupons for fro-yo --- see a reputable nurse or doctor for any treatment - it's your face, your body for cryin out loud!

Ematrix 4th Session & Vbeam 1st Session - Santa Monica, CA
This is my 4th session of ematrix and I am blown away by the results. Don't go in expecting perfection after one session but you will definitely see improvement right away. It takes about a week to fully recover from the redness and track marks but nothing some mineral makeup can't hide. This laser has restored my self confidence and I couldn't be happier. The ladies at ava md always greet you with a smile and are more than polite. If you have acne scars you're tired of hiding

Active FX & Deep FX for Sun Damage, Facial Wrinkles
I am now on day 6 after ACTIVE FX treatment on my face and DEEP FX under my eyes. I can't tell you how amazed I am with the results! My skin looks better than when I was 12 years old! No joke! I had a lot of sun damage and wrinkles under my eyes and it's all gone!! I almost can't believe my eyes. I was worried about doing it because I've read some bad reviews, but I am so happy I went through with it. I got my neck and chest done a year ago and was happy with the results.

The Perfect Peel
I wanted to get clearer, smoother skin and address my stubborn melasma. Of course, like every other treatment, it didn’t work the way I had hoped for. I’m at my literal last straw having tried EVERYTHING.
Not really worth it for significant scarring - Santa Monica, CA
I just had Total FX, two days ago on July 22, 2008 in Santa Monica, CA. She is the dermatologist seen on the show "Extreme Makeover", but it was actually one of her nurses that performed the procedure for acne scarring and a few small undereye wrinkles. I am a 41 year old female with significant rolling scars (depressed scars)on my forehead and cheeks. I have had 3 past Fraxel treatments last year that did not lead to noticeable improvement, and that cost me $900 per treatment
