Owner of the Laser Institute for Dermatology and European Skin Care in Santa Monica and the Ava MD Medspa in Beverly Hills, Dr. Ava Shamban is a Board Certified Dermatologist with over twenty years of experience treating skin. She was the featured dermatologist on ABC television’s “Extreme Makeover.” While working on the show, she had a limited time to get people looking their best. By using a combination of innovative techniques in an accelerated time frame, she was able to clear acne, rejuvenate aging skin and ease acne scarring in as little as two weeks! Realizing that not everyone was able to have an “Extreme Makeover,” she developed a formula for combination treatments available in both of her offices. With two offices and her skin care line, AVA MD, Dr. Shamban provides her patients with the most sophisticated advances in dermatology, aesthetics and products.

Lasers have been used for the removal of unwanted hair by physicians since 1998. Since that time the technology used has dramatically improved and patients, including those with dark skin, are seeing very good and lasting results. Generally laser hair removal is 80% to 90% effective, meaning 90% of hair in the area will likely remain gone. Follow up maintenance treatments may be needed at 6 months to a year following the initial series of treatment to maintain hair removal.

It’s important if you are considering laser hair removal to protect your skin from the sun. Lasers work by targeting the melanin pigment in your hair follicle and if your skin is more tan than normal, this can have an effect on the laser’s ability to properly target the hair. As the hair follicle absorbs the laser light, this will trigger the hair’s natural resting, or telogen, phase.
