Located at 2021 Santa Monica Blvd in the heart of Santa Monica, the practice offers a comprehensive menu of advanced skin treatments, with red light therapy (LightStim) as a signature offering.

The practice recommends weekly LightStim sessions over four to twelve weeks for optimal, lasting results. The non-invasive, pain-free nature of the treatment with no downtime makes it a popular choice for patients seeking a medically supervised approach to anti-aging and skin renewal. Beyond red light therapy, AVA MD Santa Monica provides a wide range of cosmetic and medical dermatology services including laser treatments, blue light therapy, injectables, and customized skincare programs. The practice is known for its evidence-based protocols and the personalized attention each patient receives.
