Althaea Skin Company Description
Althaea Skin, founded by board-certified dermatologist Dr. Ava Shamban, develops advanced skin health solutions that unite high-performance skincare with precision energy-based technology. Our focus is on restoring the skin’s optimal performance rhythm—supporting repair, protection, and renewal—through the integration of proven science and modern device innovation.
At the center of our innovation is C•A•R•A, a first-in-class, multi-modal energy-based tool was developed for both professional and at-home use. C•A•R•A combines EMS (electrical muscle stimulation), RF (radio frequency), and LED (light-emitting diode) therapy into a single, synergistic platform. Each modality works on a distinct layer or process in the skin: EMS tones and re-educates facial muscles, RF stimulates collagen and elastin synthesis through gentle thermal energy, and LED delivers wavelength-specific light to optimize cellular performance and reduce inflammation. Working together, these modalities help restore firmness, improve texture, and energize the skin at a cellular level.
Althaea Skin’s topical skincare is informed by research that was awarded the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine for the discovery of the molecular mechanisms controlling circadian rhythm.
This research led to the revelation that skin cells operate on a precise 24-hour rhythm, informing daily cycles for repair, renewal, and protection. Disruption of this rhythm—through environmental stress, aging, or lifestyle factors—leads to cellular fatigue, diminished function, and accelerated visible aging.
Althaea Skin addresses this root cause of decline with a dual approach:
1. C•A•R•A delivers targeted, clinically tested energy treatments to stimulate microcirculation, encourage healthy cell turnover, and optimize the skin’s natural regenerative capacity. Clinical evaluations of C•A•R•A, performed with our Night Serum and Activation Mask, have demonstrated measurable improvements in firmness,
