Dr Farzana Khan

Verified

Dr Farzana Khan qualified as an MD from the University of Copenhagen in 2003. She has worked in dermatology and obstetrics & gynaecology across the North of England and completed her MRCGP (CCT, 2013) and the Diploma of the Faculty of Sexual & Reproductive Health (2013). Her clinical focus is vaginal health—including dryness/GSM, sexual function concerns, lichen sclerosus, and comfort or volume changes. She offers careful assessment, discusses medical and conservative options first, and considers selected regenerative or aesthetic treatments where appropriate. Dr Farzana also trains clinicians as a KOL/Trainer with Neauvia, Asclepion Laser, and RegenLab (since 2023). Ongoing CPD includes IMCAS, CCR, ACE and expert training in women’s intimate fillers, PRP, and polynucleotide injectables. Her approach is simple: clear explanations, realistic expectations, and shared decision-making. Authored and medically reviewed by Dr Farzana Khan.
