Tulip Procedure for Lichen Sclerosus in the UK – What You Need to Know

Tulip Procedure for Lichen Sclerosus in the UK – What You Need to Know

If you’re exploring treatment options for lichen sclerosus, you may have heard about the Tulip procedure—a regenerative technique gaining attention for managing chronic skin conditions in intimate areas.

But is the Tulip procedure available in the UK? And what are your options if it isn’t?

At Elite Aesthetics, we often see patients who are struggling with this uncomfortable condition. Let’s explore what’s currently available—and what truly works.

What Is the Tulip Procedure?

The Tulip procedure involves a combination of fat grafting and regenerative therapies, such as:

  • Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
  • Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF)

It’s been used internationally to help rejuvenate atrophic skin, reduce inflammation, and regenerate tissue—particularly in the genital region for both men and women.

However, it’s important to know that this technique remains largely unregulated and unavailable in the UK, especially in intimate areas.

Is the Tulip Procedure Available in the UK?

Currently, the Tulip procedure is not legally available in the UK, due to restrictions around fat grafting and SVF in intimate medical applications.

But that doesn’t mean you’re without effective treatment options. At Elite Aesthetics, we offer proven, safe, and non-surgical alternatives—with exceptional results.

What Are the Alternatives to the Tulip Procedure?

Dr Shirin Lakhani and the team at Elite Aesthetics have successfully treated many patients with lichen sclerosus using regenerative medicine—without the need for invasive procedures.

⭐ For Female Lichen Sclerosus:

  • The O Shot® – Uses your own PRP to regenerate tissue, improve hydration and elasticity, and reduce itching, pain, and inflammation.
  • Morpheus8V – A highly advanced radiofrequency microneedling device designed specifically for intimate skin. It boosts collagen, tightens tissue, and improves skin integrity.
    → Watch Dr. Shirin Lakhani’s live Morpheus8V demonstration on ITV’s This Morning here.

⭐ For Male Lichen Sclerosus:

  • The P Shot® – Also PRP-based, this treatment supports healing, improves blood flow, and helps restore tissue quality on the penis and glans.

Read How I Improved My Lichen Sclerosus

Had a consultation with Elite yesterday, I must say I was a bit nervous, but Dr Shirin was so friendly and helpful.
I was given lots of advice and was given treatment options that were within my budget.
A few weeks after the P Shot I've really started to see a difference and have gained my confidence back.

Thank You!

Elite is an outstanding professional clinic with high standard treatments. All the staff members are friendly and offer you honest opinions when it comes to products and treatments. This is a welcoming clinic that I can 100% recommend. Treatments are spoken through and explained in detail, also aftercare. I have been going nearly a year now and am happy with all the treatments I’ve had, wouldn't go anywhere else. The Bocox treatment started to work within a few days, which I was surprised about. So glad I went to Elite for treatment.

 

HV

Thank you Dr Shirin, the O Shot has really helped me with my Lichen Sclerosus. I'd heard about the treatment on the LS Facebook Groups and message a few people that had treatment with Dr Shirin. I was like many in the group who had run out of treatment options and using creams on a daily basis. I have to say a few months after treatment, I can see a real positive change and I'm hoping my LS will continue to improve. Dr Shirin did say that I might have to have a second treatment given how severe my case is.
