About

Javan, and the people behind it.

Three clinics across Washington, DC and Northern Virginia, one standard of care, and a team that stays.

The practice

Advanced medicine and genuine luxury, under one roof.

Javan was born from a simple conviction: that aesthetic and wellness care should be designed from the patient’s perspective, not the doctor’s. Alongside her brother and co-founder, Dr. Ehsan Abdeshahian, Anita set out to close the gap between the clinical and the beautiful — pairing regenerative medicine, injectables, laser, Hair Restoration, and Peptide Therapy with an experience that feels more like an escape than an appointment. Every Javan location is held to the same standard of care, guided by an on-site Medical Director and a team trained well beyond the chain-medspa playbook.

That standard has earned Javan lasting recognition — voted the area’s best medspa four years running, most recently in 2026, with earlier honors from the Washington City Paper. But the accolades matter to Anita less than what they represent: a practice that creates good jobs, treats people with care, and helps its patients feel, in Javan’s own words, forever young.

Co-Founder & Operations Director

Anita Abdeshahian

Anita Abdeshahian is the Co-Founder and Operations Director of Javan Anti-Aging & Wellness, a multidisciplinary medspa she built to prove that advanced medicine and genuine luxury belong under the same roof. What began as a single studio on U Street in 2018 has grown, under her leadership, into three clinics across Washington, DC and Northern Virginia — and a practice recognized as one of the region’s finest.

Anita’s approach to leadership is deliberately unconventional — and so is her background. Beyond aesthetics, she has spent part of her career in national defense, supporting American servicemembers deployed overseas, an experience that instilled the discipline, standards, and steadiness she brings to Javan every day. She isn’t an injector or a physician; she’s a builder — of teams, of culture, and of standards. She has assembled a roster of master aestheticians, nurse injectors, and physicians, and holds them to mandatory ongoing training in the newest advances in the field. Her philosophy is that great outcomes come from great people, honest recommendations, and a refusal to treat patients like transactions — an approach that has kept many Javan patients loyal for years.

With over 17 years of experience in medicine, he brings a unique combination of clinical expertise, advanced medical training, and a passion for regenerative and aesthetic medicine to the practice.

Dr. Abdeshahian earned his medical degree from St. George’s University School of Medicine and completed his residency in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at SUNY Downstate, where he served as Chief Resident. He went on to complete fellowship training in Interventional Spine and Sports Medicine, developing a strong foundation in minimally invasive procedures, regenerative therapies, and patient-centered care.

As Co-Medical Director of Javan Wellness, Dr. Abdeshahian provides physician leadership and medical oversight, helping ensure that every treatment reflects the highest standards of safety, clinical excellence, and individualized care.

Together with his sister and Co-Founder, Anita Abdeshahian, he established Javan Wellness with a shared vision of bringing advanced medical aesthetics and comprehensive wellness together in a sophisticated, welcoming environment.
