Scars

Facial scars are formed because of injury, acne, and skin diseases. Some scars appear as very deep holes in the skin that look like puncture wounds. When the body produces too little collagen in response to an injury or skin irritation, depressed scars can form. Other types of scars appear raised and reddish or pinkish in color.

Dr. Sheikh has developed several laser therapy treatments using a single or combination of technologies such as Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), RevLite®, and non-ablative Fractional Resurfacing to combat acne, scars, and hyperpigmentation. For teens and young adults struggling with acne and acne scars, these services include pinpoint treatments using Revlite® or non-ablative Fractional Resurfacing. For adults with life-long severe acne scars, and scars caused by skin disease or injury, Dr. Sheikh customizes combination laser services to build collagen and repair skin texture. She also alternates laser therapies with medical grade Peels. To maintain treatment, Dr. Sheikh carries her own line of Cosmeceuticals.
