Beauty and self-esteem talk with celebrity dermatologist Ava Shamban

For February’s National Self-Esteem Month I had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Ava Shamban, dermatologist, famous for her appearances on CBS’ The Doctors and as the skin maven on ABC’s Extreme Makeover. Dr. Shamban is an advocate for self-esteem, and she emphasizes that it’s our most important asset for success and happiness. In the interview, we discuss minimally invasive clinical treatments for acne scars and deep wrinkles (namely Bellafill treatments), the most common complaints she receives from patients regarding their skin, the importance of a healthy diet for the skin, and the benefits of using pure oils, such as argan oil and coconut oil, to care for our skin.
