Dr. Shamban is also an Assistant Clinical Professor of Dermatology at UCLA.
Located next to St. John’s hospital in Santa Monica, Dr. Shamban’s practice includes its own in-house medical day spa – Ava’s at the Laser Institute –and the Acne Treatment Center. Here, she and her highly-trained staff offer her patients customized skin care along with the most sophisticated advances in dermatology today.
Wrinkles are the last thing anyone wants on their face. Those lines across your forehead, the “elevens” between your eyes, or the crow’s feet and wrinkles around your mouth. They make us look much older than we feel. They typically are the result of years of sun exposure with little sun protection. Our skin becomes damaged and our collagen and elastin proteins become degraded. The skin cells look less healthy and vibrant. Some of us have had to resort to surgery in the past to lift up sagging skin.
Fortunately skin science has developed a wide variety of new technologies to restore skin’s youthful look, without having to go under the knife. The goal is to heal the skin’s damage and improve the appearance of wrinkles. New dermal fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm can fill in unwanted lines, Botox, and laser treatments such as Fraxel and SmartSkin can improve the skin’s form. A dermatologist or skin care expert can help. Call today to schedule a consultation to learn more about the options for rejuvenating your skin.

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
