HOME / OUR PEOPLE
The Founders
A family united by science, care and innovation.
Three disciplines — medicine, clinical skin therapy and international business — woven into one thread.
Founder & Medical Director
Dr. Ismael Faqih
“Innovation begins by asking how we can improve the lives of our patients.”
More than two decades in medicine, over fifteen years specialising in plastic surgery, facial rejuvenation and aesthetic medicine. Thousands of patients, and a profound understanding of facial anatomy, tissue healing and the biology of skin.
As Medical Director he sets the clinical standard every Shikava formulation must meet — from active selection to tolerance in real recovery. Creator of HybridFacelift®, an integrated rejuvenation concept combining advanced surgical technique with regenerative principles.
Co-Founder & Product Development Manager
Shireen Jawhar
“Great skincare begins with understanding people, not products.”
Fifteen years of aesthetic nursing and clinical skin therapy — supporting patients before, during and after procedures — now directed into how each product is conceived, tested and refined.
She leads development from first brief to finished formula, working with laboratory partners on texture, tolerance and daily wear. Shireen created the name Shikava from the initials of her closest family, and keeps the same principle in the range: education before promise.
International Sales Manager
Mohammed Jawhar
“Innovation becomes meaningful only when it reaches the people who need it.”
Commercial excellence shaped at Procter & Gamble, expanded through collaboration with research and development teams in Shanghai and international manufacturing partnerships.
He builds and manages Shikava's distribution across markets — selecting partners, pharmacies and clinics who share the brand's standards, and carrying the range from the clinic to the world.
