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.

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 and said Dr. Shamban could administer a new long-lasting treatment (Bellafill) to fix my acne scars. I was hesitant at first (not a fan of needles), but now I look back and wish Bellafill was on the market years ago. My skin is incredibly smooth now, and the divots and scars have dramatically disappeared. There's a bit of tenderness after the injection, and very little bruising, but with an ice pack it goes away in a few days. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

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!
