Laser Institute for Dermatology and European Skin Care is Santa Monica's premier medical center specializing in the treatment of acne, skin rejuvenation, laser hair removal, and body contouring. Ava Shamban, M.D., Board Certified Dermatologist and owner of the Laser Institute for Dermatology was a featured dermatologist on ABC television’s “Extreme Makeover”. Dr. Shamban considers herself a skin scientist, a participant in dermatological research, technology and product development for skin rejuvenation and the treatment of acne. She has extensive experience in the use of the latest laser and intense pulsed light procedures as well as administering filler and Botox injections. 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.
Many find freckles, or ‘ephelides’ as they are called in dermatology, cute. Often they are harmless little brown specks around our nose or cheeks. They are the result of sun exposure and an attempt by our skin to respond to this exposure by packaging melanin pigment to absorb the ultraviolet rays of the sun. Unfortunately in skin that has developed freckles our skin has not packaged this melanin properly and this is displayed as a ‘freckle’.
Removing freckles is a fairly straightforward process and laser treatment is highly effective for treating them. You should see a dermatologist before having any brown spots removed as they may have the potential to be cancerous. A dermatologist can check them to be sure they can be safely removed.

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
