Dr Shirin Lakhani stands as a bea-

intimate health, wellness, and
aesthetic medicine. A trailblazer
with an unwavering commitment to im-
proving lives, she has redefined the way we
talk about sensitive yet essential topics such
as menopause, vaginal health, and erectile
dysfunction. Her efforts to destigmatise
these conversations have not only helped
thousands to regain confidence and vitality
but have also reshaped societal attitudes.
Whether championing menopause-friendly
workplace policies or advocating for tighter
regulations in the aesthetics industry, Dr
Lakhani has consistently been at the fore-
front of push-
ing boundaries
and inspiring
change.
Her unparal-
leled expertise

her patients to embrace their truest selves.
From pioneering the use of regenerative me-
dicine to training practitioners in innovative
treatments such as the O Shot and Vampire
Facial, Dr Lakhani is undoubtedly leading
the way in combining science, beauty, and
wellness. Beyond her medical achievements,
she is a passionate educator, using platforms
such as media appearances, public campaig-
ns, and even her own authored works to em-
power individuals with knowledge. Dr Shirin
Lakhani’s influence not only highlights her
as a trusted figure in the health and aesthetics
world but also cements her as a true advocate
for holistic, informed, and life-enhancing
care. It is a privilege to spotlight her remar-
kable journey and groundbreaking insights in

Can you tell us about your journey into
aesthetic medicine and what inspired you
to bring your medical expertise to this
field?
I began my medical career as an anaest-
hetist and then a GP, but I’ve always had a
keen interest in regenerative medicine and the
science of aging. Aesthetic medicine offered
the perfect intersection of my expertise—
combining medical knowledge with artistry
to enhance confidence and well-being. I was
particularly drawn to the ability to improve
not only how patients look but also how
they feel, both physically and emotionally.
That’s why I now focus on treatments that
go beyond aesthetics, such as intimate health
and regenerative therapies, which can have a
profound impact on quality of life.
“Aesthetic treatments should enhance
rather than alter.”
– Dr Shirin Lakhani
As a strong advocate for greater regu-
lation in the aesthetics industry, what
changes do you hope to see implemented
in the near future?
The lack of regulation in the UK’s aesthe-
tics industry is deeply concerning. Current-
ly, non-medical practitioners can perform
invasive treatments with little to no training,
putting patient safety at risk. I strongly belie-
ve that only medical professionals should be
administering aesthetic procedures. We need
tighter legislation to ensure that practitioners
are adequately trained, that treatments are
carried out in safe environments, and that
patients receive proper aftercare. I’d also like
to see better public education so that people
understand the risks of going to unqualified
providers. That is why I am working with
the JCCP to try and bring about changes in
legislation.
“Education is key. I always take the time to
explain treatments in detail, including bene-
fits, risks, and realistic expectations.”
– Dr Shirin Lakhani
Your approach focuses on achieving
natural results tailored to each individu-
al’s needs. How do you strike the right
balance between enhancing beauty and
maintaining authenticity?
Aesthetic treatments should enhance rather
than alter. My philosophy is all about wor-
king with a patient’s unique features to bring
out their best version of themselves. That’s
why I take a highly personalised approa-
