LadyLift® Intimate Rejuvenation Treatment in London
Consultant-led, pigment-aware LadyLift protocols designed to support comfort and confidence around menopause, postpartum and beyond—paired with clear safety steps, realistic timelines and whole-person care.
Introduction
Changes in hormone levels, childbirth and time can shift how intimate tissues feel and function. Many women describe dryness, burning, irritation, discomfort with intimacy and a sense of laxity around the vaginal opening or labia—especially with Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM) or after childbirth. At Skinhorizon Clinic we offer a consultant-led pathway built around LadyLift (a gentle, non-surgical laser-based protocol) alongside topical therapies, pelvic floor support, and intimate skincare coaching so changes feel manageable and expectations are realistic.
Our role is to help you choose what’s appropriate and safe for your situation. Some patients do best on prescription topical therapies alone; others may combine those with LadyLift for comfort and tissue support. We always discuss what evidence can and can’t promise, provide written aftercare, and encourage shared decision-making—including when to pause or to seek allied services (pelvic health physiotherapy, GP, gynaecology, or sexual health).

What is Female Intimate Rejuvenation (LadyLift)?
LadyLift describes a suite of non-surgical, laser-based protocols designed to support vulvo-vaginal comfort and tissue quality. In clinic it is typically considered for bothersome symptoms linked to GSM (menopause-related urogenital changes), postpartum tissue recovery and sometimes mild stress urinary leakage around the introitus. Treatments are performed in a regulated environment with chaperone options, privacy and clear eligibility checks. We focus on symptom relief and function, not cosmetic extremes.
Laser-based intimate treatments are adjuncts—not replacements for appropriate medical care such as prescription vaginal oestrogen for GSM when suitable, management of infections or dermatitis, or pelvic floor physiotherapy for pelvic support. Evidence for laser approaches continues to evolve; many patients report improved comfort and hydration, but responses vary. We will discuss likely timelines, alternatives, and when laser may not be the right choice.
Diagnosis & Assessment at Skinhorizon
- Private, consultant review: symptoms (dryness, burning, itch, dyspareunia, mild stress leakage), onset and impact on intimacy, exercise and clothing comfort.
- Medical background: menopause stage/HRT use, childbirth history, lactation, recent infections, dermatology conditions (e.g., dermatitis, lichen sclerosus), medications.
- Examination (with consent/chaperone): skin integrity, pH-sensitive irritation, fissures, vestibular sensitivity, introital tone; external only if you prefer—your comfort sets the boundaries.
- Safety checks: pregnancy status, active infections, suspicious lesions, history of abnormal bleeding; signposting for GP/gynaecology where appropriate.
- Plan build: whether to start with topical therapies alone or combine with LadyLift, plus pelvic floor and skincare coaching. Clear consent and written aftercare are provided.
Personalised Treatment Options We Offer
LadyLift Laser Protocols (Non-Surgical Intimate Support)
LadyLift sessions are short, clinic-based appointments delivered by trained clinicians under consultant oversight. Our aim is to support hydration and comfort around the vaginal opening and tone the introital tissues while being gentle on sensitive skin. Protocols are pigment-aware for all skin tones and avoid unnecessary energy in areas with recent irritation or dermatitis.
- Best suited for: GSM-related dryness/irritation, discomfort with intimacy focused at the vestibule/introitus, and perceived mild laxity. Not a treatment for prolapse.
- Course: typically 3 sessions spaced ~4–6 weeks apart, then an optional review at 3–6 months for maintenance planning.
- Feel & downtime: patients usually describe warmth/tingling; temporary pinkness/swelling are possible. We advise no sexual activity, tampon use or hot baths for 48–72 hours.
- Privacy & consent: step-by-step explanations, optional chaperone, and the right to pause or stop at any time.
External Labial Skin Support (Tone, Comfort & Irritation Care)
Some concerns relate mainly to external skin comfort—chafing with sportswear, recurrent irritation after hair removal, or visible texture change. We can tailor a surface-focused plan that may include gentle energy passes on external skin (when appropriate), or non-energy options like barrier-first skincare. If ingrowns are a trigger, see our Laser Hair Removal page for pigment-aware hair reduction protocols. For general texture elsewhere, explore Skin Texture, Pores & Tone.
Topical Therapies & Moisturiser-First Care
Many GSM-related symptoms respond to prescription vaginal oestrogen (if suitable) or to non-hormonal vaginal moisturisers/lubricants used consistently. We’ll help you choose pH-appropriate, fragrance-aware options and align them with any LadyLift sessions. For dermatitis/eczema affecting the vulvar skin, we use short, carefully supervised courses of appropriate topicals to settle inflammation before energy-based care is considered.
- Prescription options: low-dose vaginal oestrogen (e.g., cream, tablet, ring) when clinically appropriate and in line with GP/gynaecology guidance.
- Non-hormonal support: hyaluronic-acid or polycarbophil-based moisturisers; simple, silicone-based lubricants for comfort with intimacy.
- Barrier care: soap-free cleansing; avoid fragranced products and harsh scrubs on sensitive skin.
Pelvic Floor & Lifestyle Coaching (Allied Care)
Gentle, consistent pelvic floor training and smart lifestyle steps make a meaningful difference for many patients—particularly where mild stress leakage or postpartum change is the concern. We can signpost to pelvic health physiotherapy, outline bladder-friendly habits, and coordinate with your GP or gynaecologist so your plan is joined-up.
- Pelvic floor education and habit cues you can do at home.
- Hydration, clothing and activity tweaks that reduce chafing/irritation.
- Pathways for perimenopause/menopause symptom support if broader changes are present.
Intimate Skincare: Simple Daily Routine
Keep it gentle and consistent: lukewarm water, soap-free cleansers, pat dry (not rub), then moisturise external skin if dry. After exercise, change out of damp kit, rinse sweat/salt, and re-apply a light barrier layer. Avoid fragranced wipes and talc. If shaving or trimming contributes to irritation, ask about pigment-aware hair reduction via our Laser Hair Removal service.
Your Care Journey
- Private consultation: we map symptoms, review health history and discuss expectations in plain language.
- Eligibility & consent: confirm there’s no active infection, pregnancy or red-flags; agree a plan (topicals only vs LadyLift combination).
- Treatment delivery: short LadyLift sessions under consultant oversight; you can pause at any time.
- Aftercare: written day-by-day guidance (no intercourse/tampons/hot baths for 48–72 hours; gentle cleansing; watch for red-flags).
- Review & refine: we track comfort changes and adjust cadence; maintenance is discussed only if useful and desired.
The most durable results come from simple, repeatable routines—no crash regimens.
Special Situations
- Pregnancy/breastfeeding: we do not offer LadyLift during pregnancy; postpartum timing is discussed case-by-case once healed and comfortable.
- Dermatology conditions (e.g., lichen sclerosus, dermatitis): these require dedicated medical plans; energy-based options are considered only when disease is controlled and after specialist discussion.
- Recurrent infections: treat and stabilise first; we may liaise with your GP or gynaecologist.
- Pelvic organ prolapse or unexplained bleeding: requires gynaecology assessment; laser is not appropriate for prolapse.
- Higher skin tones (Fitzpatrick IV–VI): we use pigment-aware parameters externally, cautious test areas, and strict sun-safety for any visible skin.
- On HRT or considering it: LadyLift can be discussed alongside or apart from HRT; your GP/gynaecologist advises on hormone choices.
Aftercare & Maintenance
Expect transient warmth, pinkness or a mild swollen feeling. For 48–72 hours: avoid intercourse, tampons, hot baths/saunas and fragranced products on the area. Cleanse gently with lukewarm water or soap-free cleanser; pat dry. Wear breathable cotton underwear and avoid tight seams on the treatment day. Watch for red-flags (increasing pain, fever, foul discharge)—contact us or your GP if they occur.
Maintenance depends on your goals. Some patients book a review at 3–6 months; others continue with moisturiser-first routines and allied care only. We’ll document what worked so you can repeat it without guesswork.
Safety & Risks
Short-term effects may include pinkness, warmth, spotting or increased discharge that settles within days. Possible risks include irritation, temporary dysuria (stinging with urination), infection, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation on external skin (rare with gentle parameters), or symptom flare if pre-existing dermatitis is active. We reduce risks with eligibility checks, conservative settings, sterile technique and clear written aftercare.
LadyLift is not a replacement for cervical screening or for medical assessment of abnormal bleeding, pelvic pain or prolapse. We will help you access the right pathways if any red-flags are present.
Expected Outcomes
Many patients report a softer, more comfortable feel at the vaginal opening, less dryness/irritation and improved confidence with clothing and intimacy over a small series of sessions. Some also describe a firmer “hold” at the introitus with activity. Results vary—biology, hormones and skin conditions matter—and some women choose topical therapy alone or in combination for best effect. We’ll help you track changes you can feel day-to-day.
Patient Experience
“After menopause I struggled with dryness and stinging that made exercise and intimacy uncomfortable. We started with moisturiser and low-dose oestrogen, then added three LadyLift sessions. The area feels calmer and I’m back to long walks without chafing.”
