Results! I am really impressed

I have had two Sofwave treatments with Mojgan and I am really impressed. Not only do I see results but she has such a good eye and added some mini droplets of box that are making a big difference. Do not hesitate to go to her!

Tonya is consistent and professional

Tonya is consistent, professional and in my book, the best. Her knowledge of dermatology brings me back. Not often enough. But she is why I return. Trustworthy. Today’s world puts much in question. It is not trivial that Tonya deli ever on all accounts. Thanks for asking Elizabeth

Incredible, Attentive Staff

I was recommended to go to Ava MD and after having gone once, I can clearly see why. Angelica was amazing and did a fantastic job. Not only did she walk me through the entire process, she was incredibly attentive and friendly. I wish I could rate her higher than 5 stars. I highly recommend Ava MD (ask for Angelica) and will be returning.

I have been getting filler on and off for 20 years and this was by far the best experience I ever had

I had filler with Dr. Shambam. She was very warm and friendly. I have been getting filler on and off for 20 years and this was by far the best experience I ever had. Virtually pain free. No bruising. Subtle reults in the best possible way. I look refreshed, not full and puffy.

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.

113 Q&A

Q: I had Botox and Juvederm on Friday. It is now Sunday & need antibiotics for UTI.
Answered by Dr. ShambanApril 3, 2019

A: There are no contradictions between botox, fillers and antibiotics like augmentin and there should be no interaction that would hinder your results. I suggest speaking with your physician if you are still concerned. Warmest regards, Dr. Shamban.

Q: Does Botox Work on Horizontal Forehead Creases?
Answered by Dr. ShambanAugust 12, 2016

A: Yes, the horizontal forehead creases are a common site to treat with Botox. For deeper forehead lines, consider Botox in combination with dermal fillers, laser resurfacing, and skin care with retinol

Q: Can Too Much Botox Cause Eyebrows to Drop?
Answered by Dr. ShambanAugust 12, 2016

A: Yes, injecting too much Botox in the forehead can make the eyebrows and upper eyelids appear heavy. The idea is not to be frozen, the goal is to soften your expression lines. Less is more!

Q: When Will I Notice the Results of the Botox?
Answered by Dr. ShambanAugust 12, 2016

A: You may notice the results of Botox within 3-4 days; however, the full results can be seen in 2 weeks. Try to resist the urge to add more Botox until you wait out the first 2 weeks.

Q: What Are the Post Treatment Instructions After Botox?
Answered by Dr. ShambanAugust 12, 2016

A: I always educate patients to not lie flat for 4 hours and to avoid heavy exercise, facials, or massage for 24 hours. For all you Yogi's: remember, heavy exercise includes all inversions-head stands and shoulder stands!
