Clinic Spotlight – Elite Aesthetics
As part of our new monthly Clinic Spotlight series, we visit leading InMode aesthetic practices to explore their approach, ethos, and treatment philosophy. This month, marketing manager Anna Dobbie spoke to women’s health specialist and key opinion leader Dr Shirin Lakhani about her clinic, Elite Aesthetics, which is known for its considered, medically led approach to aesthetic treatments. With an emphasis on safety, individual assessment, and subtle outcomes, the clinic reflects a modern, evidence-based model of aesthetic practice.
Can you tell us the story behind Elite Aesthetics and what inspired you to open your clinic?
Elite Aesthetics was born from my desire to create a space where patients could access safe, evidence-based, ethical, and truly holistic care. I wanted to provide services that would not only help my patients look better but feel better too. As a former GP with a special interest in women’s health, I saw the same pattern again. Women were being dismissed, embarrassed, or left without solutions for intimate concerns that were deeply affecting their quality of life. I opened the clinic to bridge that gap, merging medical rigour with advanced technology to help women and men feel confident, comfortable, and in control of their bodies again.
What first attracted you to working with InMode technologies, and how has it shaped your treatment offering?
I was drawn to InMode because its platforms consistently deliver safe, effective, patient-centric results. As a clinician, I’m always looking for technologies backed by science, with precise energy delivery and strong safety profiles. InMode’s dedication to promoting effective solutions for women’s health, and commitment to education and awareness also attracted me to working with the brand.
How has the EmpowerRF platform impacted your patients, and why?
EmpowerRF has been transformational, particularly for my menopausal and postnatal patients. It combines radiofrequency, electrical muscle stimulation, and fractional technologies in one platform, allowing me to treat the pelvic floor, vulvovaginal tissues, and surrounding structures comprehensively. The impact is profound. Women who have lived for years with leakage, pain, or intimacy issues often see improvement within a few sessions. It restores not just function, but confidence, relationships, and quality of life. With the inclusion of Morpheus8 and Tone, I can also address face and body concerns, so it is the workhorse of my clinic.

How do you approach patient education and ensure they feel fully informed throughout their treatment journey?
Education is at the heart of my practice. I take time to explain what’s happening in the patient’s body, why symptoms occur, and how each treatment works. I use visual aids, written guides, and plenty of open conversation. My goal is to demystify intimate health and empower women to make informed decisions. There is no shame, no rushing, just clear, evidence-based guidance from start to finish.
What trends are you currently seeing in aesthetic goals?
Women are increasingly seeking natural, regenerative results rather than dramatic changes. There’s a shift towards longevity, hormonal wellness, and treatments that support the ageing process rather than erase it. I’m also seeing a steady rise in intimate health consultations, especially around menopause, as women feel more confident asking for help and expect solutions tailored to their stage of life.
You’re known for your expertise in intimate health; how have InMode solutions supported your work in this area?
InMode’s intimate health technologies have allowed me to deliver safe, targeted, non-surgical treatments for conditions like lichen sclerosus, genitourinary syndrome of the menopause (GSM), urinary incontinence, and post-childbirth changes. EmpowerRF gives me precision and versatility. It supports both functional and aesthetic improvements, which is essential because women’s intimate concerns are often multifaceted. These tools help me treat the whole picture.
What is a standout patient success story that highlights the power of energy-based treatments?
It is difficult to highlight just one success story as so many of my patients get outstanding results. I’ve treated patients who were unable to sit comfortably who can now exercise freely, patients who could not wear underwear, now able to wear jeans, and patients unable to have intercourse, who’ve gone on to have pregnancies. The power of intimate health treatments in delivering life-changing results for my patients really cannot be underestimated.
What excites you most about the future of aesthetics and women’s wellness?
The future is regenerative: treatments that work with the body, not against it. We’re moving towards technologies that improve tissue health, stimulate collagen, restore function, and enhance wellbeing in a holistic, long-term way. I’m especially excited about advances in intimate health and menopause care; women are finally being taken seriously, and the industry is responding with innovation that truly matters.
How do you balance running a busy clinic with continuing to educate, advocate, and speak within the industry?
It’s a juggle, but I’m passionate about all of it. I prioritise, delegate, and surround myself with an incredible team who share my values. My advocacy work, from speaking at conferences to contributing to policy discussions, directly informs my clinical practice. It’s all interconnected, and staying active in the wider conversation ensures my patients benefit from the latest evidence and innovation.
What advice would you give to practitioners looking to elevate their practice with technology-driven treatments?
Choose technology that is evidence-based, versatile, and genuinely improves patient outcomes, not just what’s fashionable. Invest in training, understand the science behind the device, and focus on holistic patient care. Technology is a tool; your expertise, ethics, and communication are what make it transformative.
