Avava Laser

Tighten. Resurface. Restore. One Personalized Treatment.

At Marmur Medical, we believe healthy skin is more than smooth skin — it’s resilient, radiant, and rich in collagen. That’s why we’re excited to introduce AVAVA™, one of the newest advances in laser skin rejuvenation and an important addition to our comprehensive laser center.
 
Unlike traditional resurfacing lasers that primarily focus on the skin’s surface, AVAVA is designed to improve skin quality by combining collagen stimulation, skin tightening, scar remodeling, and resurfacing in one customizable treatment.
 
Whether you’re hoping to soften wrinkles around the eyes, improve acne scars, tighten crepey skin on the neck, refresh sun-damaged skin on the chest, or rejuvenate your entire face, AVAVA offers remarkable versatility for patients of all ages and every skin tone.
 
At Marmur Medical, however, we believe the best results rarely come from one device alone. Our providers are known for creating personalized treatment plans using our signature Stackables™ approach — thoughtfully combining complementary technologies to rejuvenate the skin from multiple layers during the same visit.

"Healthy skin is built in layers. So are beautiful results."

What Is AVAVA?

AVAVA is an advanced fractional laser designed to stimulate your skin’s natural healing response while preserving much of the surrounding tissue. Rather than simply removing damaged skin, AVAVA encourages your body to rebuild healthier collagen and elastin, creating smoother, firmer, stronger skin over time.
This innovative technology allows us to address multiple concerns simultaneously, including:
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Mild to moderate skin laxity
  • Crepey skin
  • Uneven texture
  • Enlarged pores
  • Acne scars
  • Surgical scars
  • Sun-damaged skin
  • Overall skin quality and radiance
Because collagen remodeling continues for months after treatment, improvements develop naturally and continue to evolve long after your appointment.

"My goal isn't to erase every line — it's to improve skin health so patients look naturally refreshed. When we build collagen and improve skin quality, everything else looks better." — Dr. Ellen Marmur

Why We Call AVAVA "The Skin Quality Laser"

At Marmur Medical, we often talk about skin quality rather than simply treating wrinkles.
 
Skin quality includes:
  • Firmness
  • Elasticity
  • Smooth texture
  • Healthy collagen
  • Refined pores
  • Even tone
  • Luminosity
  • Resilience
When these qualities improve together, patients don’t simply look younger — they look healthier and refreshed.
AVAVA is unique because it treats many of these characteristics in one procedure.

"One of the most exciting aspects of AVAVA is how precisely we can tailor treatment. Every patient's skin is different, and every treatment plan should be too." — Dr. Rachel Westbay

Safe for Every Age. Safe for Every Skin Tone.

Healthy collagen matters whether you’re 28 or 78.

  • Younger patients often choose AVAVA to preserve collagen and maintain healthy skin before significant aging develops.
  • Patients in their 40s and 50s frequently seek treatment for early laxity, texture changes, and fine lines.
  • Older patients appreciate AVAVA’s ability to improve skin quality without surgery while complementing other rejuvenation procedures.
Because treatments are fully customized, AVAVA can safely treat a wide range of skin tones and skin types when performed by experienced providers.

Why Do Patients Choose Laser Skin Rejuvenation?

Patients often choose laser-based treatment because it can be integrated into a broader cosmetic dermatology plan with a high degree of customization. At Marmur Medical, laser procedures are part of a comprehensive aesthetic approach that may also include injectables, skincare, and other non-surgical rejuvenation options, depending on the individual.

Some patients want a focused approach to skin quality, while others want a treatment plan that supports long-term maintenance. During your visit, the team can help you compare Avava Laser with other Face and Neck Rejuvenation options that may be relevant to your goals.

What Can AVAVA Treat?

Face

 Restore smoother texture, improve pores, soften fine lines, and support healthier collagen throughout the face.

Eyes

The delicate eye area often shows aging first. AVAVA can improve:
  • Crow’s feet
  • Crepey eyelids
  • Fine lines beneath the eyes
  • Texture around the orbital area

Lips

Treat:
  • Vertical lip lines
  • Smoker’s lines
  • Aging around the mouth
  • Lip border texture

Neck

One of our favorite areas. Improve:
  • Horizontal neck lines
  • Crepey skin
  • Mild laxity
  • Overall firmness

Chest

Years of sun exposure often appear first on the décolletage. AVAVA improves texture while encouraging healthier collagen.

Arms

Excellent for crepey upper arms and age-related thinning skin.

Abdomen

Supports healthier skin following pregnancy or weight changes by improving texture and mild laxity.

Legs & Knees

Refresh crepey skin and improve overall skin quality in areas that are often difficult to treat.

Acne & Surgical Scars

By remodeling collagen beneath the skin, AVAVA helps soften acne scars and improve the appearance of many surgical and traumatic scars over time.

"Patients are often surprised that healthier skin isn't just about fewer wrinkles. Improving texture, pores, and collagen can make someone look brighter and more rested without changing who they are." — Jaclyn Vinagre, DNP

The Marmur Medical Difference: Stackables™

No single treatment addresses every layer of aging.
 
The skin changes at multiple depths — from the surface to the deeper collagen network and supporting tissues. That’s why our providers created Stackables™, our personalized approach to combining technologies that work together for more comprehensive rejuvenation.
 
Instead of asking, “What’s the best laser?” we ask, “What’s the best combination for your skin?”

"I love combining technologies because aging doesn't happen at just one depth. Pairing AVAVA with Sofwave or Thermage lets us address deeper support while simultaneously refining the skin's surface." — Dr. Teresa Song

AVAVA + Sofwave®

One of our favorite combinations. Sofwave stimulates collagen deeper within the dermis to lift and tighten. AVAVA improves the skin’s surface, texture, pores, scars, and superficial collagen. Together they create beautiful improvements in both skin structure and skin quality.
 
Ideal for:
  • Face
  • Jawline
  • Neck
  • Early aging
  • Prevention Aging® maintenance

AVAVA + Thermage®

Thermage strengthens deeper collagen while AVAVA refines the skin above it. This pairing is especially effective for:
  • Eyelids
  • Neck
  • Chest
  • Abdomen
  • Upper arms
  • Knees
Patients love this combination because they experience tightening and smoother skin simultaneously.
 

AVAVA + Ultherapy Prime®

Ultherapy Prime targets the deepest foundational layer responsible for lifting. AVAVA perfects the skin above it. Think of it as restoring both the framework and the finish.
 

AVAVA + MOXI®

MOXI refreshes the complexion and helps maintain youthful skin by improving early pigmentation and brightness. Adding AVAVA stimulates deeper collagen while refining texture. This combination is ideal for patients focused on Prevention Aging® and maintaining healthy skin before significant aging develops.
 

AVAVA + Fraxel®

Fraxel remains one of our favorite lasers for pigmentation and sun damage. AVAVA adds tightening, scar remodeling, and collagen stimulation. Together they address both color and texture.
 
 

AVAVA + Sciton ProFractional™

For selected patients with more advanced acne scars or deeper textural concerns, ProFractional may be incorporated into a customized resurfacing plan alongside AVAVA for comprehensive collagen remodeling.
 

What Happens During an Avava Laser Consultation?

Your first step is a consultation with Marmur Medical. This visit is designed to evaluate your skin concerns, discuss what you would most like to improve, review treatment history, and determine whether Avava Laser is appropriate or whether another laser or non-laser treatment may be a better fit.

This is also the time to ask practical questions about treatment planning, sequencing, and preparation. Marmur Medical emphasizes individualized care, so the conversation should center on your skin rather than a generic-all package.

What Should Patients Expect During Treatment?

The exact treatment experience may differ, depending on the settings, treatment area, and the plan your provider recommends. Rather than assuming a uniform protocol, it is more accurate to say that your appointment will be customized to your needs, and that your provider will explain the process, expected skin response, and post-treatment instructions before proceeding.

For many laser procedures, planning and preparation are an important part of care. The experts at Marmur Medical advise patients to avoid tanning before laser treatments and to closely follow pre-procedure guidance, as skin condition and recent product use can affect treatment timing and recovery.

Is There Downtime After Avava Laser?

Downtime can vary depending on the laser treatment, the selected intensity, and the individual patient’s skin. For that reason, it is best not to promise a fixed recovery window for Avava Laser unless your provider has evaluated you and explained what is realistic for your plan.

In general, patients should expect personalized aftercare instructions and to follow them carefully. Marmur Medical provides pre- and post-treatment guidance for cosmetic procedures and encourages patients to discuss timing, social plans, sun exposure, and skincare use before treatment.

What Kind of Results Can Patients Expect?

Skin rejuvenation is often gradual, and the most appropriate way to discuss Avava Laser is as a treatment that may support improvement in overall skin appearance as part of a customized care plan rather than as a guaranteed outcome.

Some patients are best served by a single treatment, while others may benefit from a series or from combining modalities over time. During your consultation, our experts can explain whether Avava Laser makes sense on its own or part of a wider Preservation Aging® strategy that supports natural-looking, individualized results.

In-office treatments create the stimulus. Daily skincare supports the skin’s response.

"Recovery is part of the treatment. I encourage patients to think beyond the procedure itself and support healing with consistent skincare and LED therapy at home." — Jennifer Weiss, PA-C
