I had been wanting to get the spider veins on my legs treated for many years but didn’t know who to go to. I finally chose LOVA and I am so pleased with the results so far. My veins were pretty bad and in need of three treatments. Being very afraid of needles kept me nervous about any treatment but it was not necessary. Dr. Shakir was so gentle and kind. I had nothing to fear. I’m going into summer with new confidence wearing my shorts. I even decided to give a little bit of Botox a try in my forehead. I am shocked that I barely felt it. I had in my mind that it would be extremely painful. Nope. If you would like to treat yourself with a treatment of some kind. Don’t hesitate to make your appointment here. She’s the best.

Dr. Shakir is not only an extremely talented and experienced surgeon, she is a lovely human being! I had a microphlebectomy (vein removal) with her seven weeks ago and it was such a good experience. I was extremely nervous to have the procedure but she explained everything so well and really put my anxieties to rest. I had no pain during the procedure and recovery was no big deal because she was so thorough with aftercare. We're very lucky to have such an esteemed and compassionate expert in this field right here in Lake Oswego. If you've got a vein causing embarassment and/or discomfort, I highly encourage you to meet with Dr. Shakir to be in the best possible hands.

I had my large varicose vein removed and Dr. Shakir made me comfortable when I was pretty nervous for the procedure. I have a pretty high pain tolerance but this was pretty painless. Dr Shakir also did some Botox and laser therapy on me as well. I had spider veins too. I highly recommend her for any treatment. She is professional and very knowledgeable. I trust her and I tell everyone who is interested about LOVA! She has a lot of services available besides Botox, varicose veins, spider veins, and laser treatments. She also does face lifts, skin tightening, she has a naturopath that works there too, and a lot of other cosmetic procedures. I will definitely be returning!!

There are two of us who had botox, and mole removals done. Those were simple, 15 min procedures that were great, quick healing and well explained pre-and-post procedures, by the doctor. Dr. Shakir is very hands-on, caring and has years of experience. Because we were so pleased, I myself also later had full thread lift done.
Thread lift took under an hour and was not painful at all. Because of Dr. Shakir's skills and years of experience, the procedure was done smoothly without any issues. For these types of aesthetic procedures, the doctor is everything because we had other procedures done years ago at different states and by different surgeons. Usually, the end result comes down to the doctor's hands and skill sets. Dr. Shakir is extremely skilled in what she does and teaches others too on the thread lift techniques at conferences. That is a good doctor to have doing your procedure.
Thank you, LOVA and Dr. Shakir.

I highly recommend seeing Dr. Shakir and her staff at LOVA. I just had my first experience with PDO Threading and my results are amazing. What a difference and I still look like me, just more refreshed.
I got the Full Thread Package which included the Face and Neck Area. The packages included Arnicare, Pro-Nox, neck strap, All the Threads, Radiesse, Eye cream and Botox.
The procedure only took a little over an hour.
For those thinking about it or just had it done. Trust the process and the 2 week recovery. It is well worth it. You will definitely need to take Tylenol and ibuprofen every 2 hours for the first 2-3 days for sure. Your head is going to hurt. Sleep sitting up as much as possible and ice every hour. By the end of the first week my swelling was gone and everything felt back to normal. Again trust the process and don’t worry the results are well worth it. Thank you Dr. Shakir.

I am a nurse with extremely high expectations from medical professionals. If I could give Dr. Shakir and her staff 10 stars, I would! I have had an amazing experience. Dr. Shakir is the best of the best. Not only is she a highly skilled physician, she is also tuned into her patients and what they are hoping to achieve through her services. She listens. She explains. She educates. AND her work is impeccable. If you’re considering any of her available treatments, this is the physician and staff team you want to work with. They are exceptional.

Dr Shakir is genuinely fantastic! Absolutely brilliant in her field of work. I came in for treatment for venous lake , a vein on my lip which may occur from trauma to the lip. I had no idea what to expect and she walked me through the process step by step. She used a medical grade laser and within 10 min of the procedure I noticed immediate improvement! My lip is now in the process of healing. My biggest regret is that I waited so long to book an appointment!
Also, If you're lucky you'll get to meet her pup who is just the sweetest thing!

My daughter had a spider mark on her face and OHSU was over 6 months out to perform the removal procedure when we found Lova. We walked in and got it removed the same day! My daughter who is 7, was a little apprehensive at first, but the doctor was such a professional and made her feel at ease immediately. She removed the mark on her face and a small mark on her wrist and we were out the door in 30 minutes. If we need additional medspa needs we will definitely go here!
Thanks!

Recently attended a PRP hands-on training with Dr Shakir and am very pleased with her level of professionalism and expertise. Dr Shakir meets you at your comfort level and allows the attendee to perform the procedure/s with thoughtful guidance and constructive feedback. Respect is evident throughout the process. Dr Shakir is generous in sharing not only her expertise but also some practical points in practice. Overall, it was a great experience and looking forward to more training sessions in the future. Thank you !

I had black spot on my big toe for several years. I tried different treatment over the years without results. Suddenly the black spot start spreading to involve most of the nail. I was afraid that I am gonna loose my nail. I went to LOVA for laser toenail fungal treatment. My experience with Amazing! My toenail fungal infection finally and completely resolved. The clinic follows COVID precautions. I highly recommend the laser treatment for the toenail fungal infection for anyone with similar problem.

Love looking forward to even coming here. I make a whole day of it honestly. Drop the kiddos off get some Starbucks and head to Lake Oswego’s Vein Aesthetics.! First discovered this place off google and I can see why it has 5 stars. First time getting Botox and lip filler was my first and honestly not last visit. Business is super cute and welcoming once you first come in and then welcomed by staff and taken care of right away. I look forward to the results every time and make sure my friends definitely know about this place.

I went to LOVA to treat some broken capillaries I had around my nose and near my eyes. Prior to LOVA, I had seven V-Beam treatments and one electrolysis treatment from a Medical Spa, and neither of those treatments helped with the broken capillaries. After only two treatments with Dr. Maha Sabah Shakir, the broken capillaries are mostly gone and I'm so happy with my results. I would highly recommend LOVA if you have any cosmetic facial veins you want to treat!

I just had a procedure done for varicose veins last week. Venaseal. It was so much easier than the injections I had done fifteen years ago! No compression stockings, no discomfort afterwards. There were a couple of pinches but no real pain during the procedure. It was quick and now my veins are gone! I also have seen some of the swelling in my ankles go down since having this done. The doctor and staff are wonderful. I plan to go back and get a few other things done.
~ Lois R
I had a large blue vein under my eye and an area of broken blood vessels between my eyes treated with the Vein Gough system. It was quick, straight forward, and affordable. Dr. Shakir was professional and knowledgeable and carefully explained what to expect. I felt that the procedure was affordable and I knew exactly what I would pay before the procedure. I would highly recommend her services if you have facial veins that you would like to have treated.

In Cali, you go to Beverly Hills. In Oregon...you go here! Dr.Shakir is a wizard. Ive had botox and also filler in my smile lines. It is done so natural, professional, and kind that I can't recommend this place enough. She is so meticulous, gentle, and talks you through everything. Great for first timers! The Location is Easy to find, fair prices, but the result..the results are worth every penny! A wizard

I had a private PDO thread training with Dr. Shakir today. She was nothing short of AMAZING! She spent extra time to make sure I was comfortable with performing the procedure, answered questions thoroughly, and even discussed how I can implement PDO threads into my practice. She made the trip from Arkansas totally worth it! If you have been thinking about training with her, I would definitely do it! I will be back for more! Thank you Dr. Shakir!

Free at last! Free at last! From the hairy gorilla!
I was referred to Dr. Shakir's Salon a while ago for laser hair removal. I have been shaving my legs, etc. since I was 13, and now I'm in my seventies! I have always hated the process of shaving, waxing. The nicks and cuts and not being able to get it all off. I have been so happy with the results and the service at LOVA. I highly recommend. Dr. Shakir' and her staff are impeccable.
~ Angel P
I saw Dr. Shakir for Venaseal as well as Micro Phlebectomy, and the experience was phenomenal. Cute office, friendly staff, and easily accessible (love!). Dr. Shakir’s calm demeanor and expertise are really what set her apart from the rest. I came to her after meeting with another local clinic to discuss options, and I’m SO thankful I did. She is a gem and I will be back for other services. Highly recommend!
~ Jen J
Excellent customer service and dramatic results! I received cosmetic treatment for several spider veins on my nose area that have bothered me for over a decade. Dr. Shakir assured me that she could successfully treat them in only a few minutes, and she was correct! The veins were gone after a brief laser procedure and I was amazed. I strongly recommend her clinic to anyone who suffers from unwanted veins on their face.
~ Benjamin R
Dr. M.Shakir’s practice is professional, safe and warmly welcoming. Her clinical practice is my most valued and appreciated aspect of her business. Her approach is not a one fit all but rather she asks questions, gets to know her clients and your goals, what you want to achieve and not. There’s no up selling or over injecting from my experience. Now I have found LOVA I won’t be going elsewhere!
~ Megan B
Dear Dr. Shakir, thank you for your excellent work and tremendous skill while performing endovenous ablation therapy and stab phlebectomy of varicose veins. Your talent and caring manner is a credit to the medical profession. You are truly a lifesaver. I will be recommending you to everyone I know who also has the same condition as I had. Thank you again!
~ Irina D
I had a very pleasant experiance with Dr. Maha. The shcedualling process was easy, I was able to get a same day appointment. I went on for botox and Sculpsure under my chin. I'm very satisfied with the results. Dr. Maha took the time to explain what to expect and made sure I was relaxed and comfortable. Her office looks very neat and clean. I will deffinatly be back for future treatments.

Dr. Shakir is the best or the best! I struggle with Bell’s palsy and I have a droopy eye on the right side. I came to Dr. Shakir to get some PDO threads to lift the eye lid instead of invasive surgery and the results are great! Everyone says I look more awake, younger and I feel more confident! Thank you Dr Shakir and the amazing staff at LOVA! Go to her instagram to see my progress photos!
