Membership perks include a virtual space to chat with Dr Ava Shamban’s medical team to discuss skincare products, concerns, and experiences.

The Box by Dr Ava, a new dermatologistโ€”curated, results-driven skincare subscription box, recently introduced its community for members of The Box by Dr Ava.

According to the company, The Box by Dr Ava Community is a central place where members can discuss and ask questions about specific products (and get personal answers); talk wellness, beauty, fitness and nutrition; and get support and advice for all skin concerns. Thereโ€™s also the option of having real-time tele-aesthetic consultations with Ava Shamban, MD, and her medical team. The Box by Dr Ava Community meets regularly on Facebook.

โ€œMy goal is to make dermatological curated skincare and advice accessible and approachable,โ€ says Dr Ava. โ€œDuring the first four weeks of the pandemic, my medical team and I virtually treated 300+ patients while our physical offices were shut down. The pandemic gave me perspective on how I want to take care of all patients, including those with aesthetic and skin needs while at home.โ€

Membership perks include a virtual space to chat with other members and discuss skincare products/experiences; access to the team at The Box by Dr Ava for skincare questions and advice; invitations to private events and special offers, including monthly live events on social platforms with Dr Ava or guest speakers; and access to private events, offers and sales.

The company points out that while itโ€™s easy for patients to Google query responses about a multitude of skin-related concerns, 99% of the time itโ€™s going to fall short or cause anxiety. So, itโ€™s recommended to see a doctor. The Box by Dr Ava introduces consumers to skincare and wellness products hand-selected by Dr Ava. Along with the subscription comes the benefit of community support.
