Far too many women, for far too long a time, have had to silently endure pain during intimacy, believing it’s something you just have to live with, especially after menopause. But there really are aesthetic solutions that can improve sexual function and comfort so you don’t have to suffer in silence. That includes the NRose protocol by Neauvia, as delivered by the leading aesthetic gynaecologist Dr Farzana Khan.
Here’s everything you need to know about the female health treatment that one patient called “a game changer” for intimacy and confidence.
In February 2025, a female patient presented to Dr Farzana Khan, one of the only doctors in the North of England offering bespoke treatment for women’s intimate health. Her story is one that mirrors that of many women up and down the country:
“I hadn’t been intimate with my husband for over two years due to excruciating intimate pain,” she explained. “Due to menopausal dryness it used to feel like a knife inside my vagina that was being turned round and over… Doctors could only offer me creams for my symptoms which weren’t helpful and I gave up on my intimate relations.”

Instead of having to grin and bear menopausal dryness (something we’d never recommend putting up with), Dr Farzana suggested the NRose protocol from Neauvia – a leading medical aesthetics brand known for its innovative PEG-HA dermal fillers.
Winner of the prestigious “Best Intimate Health Product/ Treatment“ award at the Menopause in Aesthetics ( MiA) Awards 2025, Neauvia NRose is an advanced multi-step treatment that combines Neauvia’s PEGylated hyaluronic acid dermal fillers with radiofrequency and a post-treatment gel.
“I am very passionate about NRose because it is the only synergistic protocol for female intimate rejuvenation. Plus, it is award-winning,” explains Dr Farzana during a March 2025 interview on The Late Late Aesthetics Show(which also has a nice namecheck for The Treatments Guide).”
The NRose protocol involves four sessions (spread across four-day intervals) of Sectum radiofrequency – a RF energy device that is specifically designed to be used both externally and internally to tighten vulva skin and vaginal tissue.
On the first session, Neauvia’s patented hyaluronic acid-based gel called Intense Rose is also used to further improve vulva firmness and shape. The long-lasting dermal filler is injected into the labia major, with a formula enriched with amino acids like L-Proline and Glycine to restore volume. The final step is the Rejuvenation Rose Gel, a soothing product packed with hyaluronic acid and growth factors to improve skin firmness while providing relief for irritated and dry intimate areas.
Together, these treatment steps are celebrated for helping with vulvo-vaginal dryness, as well as boosting overall comfort and appearance. The sessions are quick, comfortable, and require no downtime, with long-lasting results (around 12 months) and a real impact on patient confidence.

“The protocol is suited for women who are struggling with dryness and struggling with intimacy as well as urinary incontinence,” explains Dr Farzana. “It is also for women who have/ have had breast cancer or hormone-sensitive cancers who cannot take HRT. We can actually give them treatment that will empower them in an intimate setting. There isn’t anything out there that can compete with that at the moment!”

Through her patients, Dr Farzana has tons of stories of restored comfort and self-esteem after NRose, showcasing how good it can be for your mental well-being as well as your sexual health.
“We have a treatment that is actually helping sexual function and confidence, and when I get feedback from clients that they can be intimate without having pain and that it has boosted their confidence, that’s very reassuring to me,” reveals Dr Farzana.
“The treatment has changed my life and I have regained confidence in intimate settings,” affirms the patient. “I cannot thank Dr Farzana enough for her support. I would highly recommend her and the NRose protocol for anyone suffering from intimate health issues.”
