Unapplied Changes
The UK aesthetics sector is entering a new era defined by regenerative science, holistic wellbeing and highly personalised care. According to InMode thought leaders, Dr Dil Kassam, Dr Sima Al Asad and Sharon Flora, 2026 will see a shift towards integrated skin-health protocols that combine energy-based technologies with bespoke skincare and injectables; a growing recognition of intimate wellness as essential healthcare; and a surge of interest in wellness-led ocular treatments.
“We’re seeing a clear shift towards the integration of energy-based treatments within combination protocols, as practitioners look to achieve more comprehensive and lasting improvements in skin health. This will continue into 2026 as patients seek natural, age-appropriate regenerative results. At The Medi-Shed, our Define Brighten™ by Dr Dil philosophy represents this evolution by fusing cutting-edge technology, evidence-based skincare and advanced medical aesthetics to deliver results that are both natural and measurable. By layering modalities thoughtfully from energy-based devices to prescriptive skincare and bespoke injectables we can refine, rejuvenate, regenerate and truly enhance skin quality in a way that’s deeply personalised. It’s about moving beyond single treatments to create a tailored, holistic journey for every patient, at every stage of life.”

"We have seen the increase in demand for wellness in the aesthetic space during 2025 and it is my belief that this will continue to grow in strength for 2026 and move into other areas such as ocular health. With supporting clinical data and my experience within my clinics, there is a direct correlation between dry eyes and mental health. Cortisol, hormones and stress can interfere with the tear glands and oil meibomian glands in your eyes, disrupting tear film and stability. Sleep disruption and reduced blinking when combined can cause severe dry eyes and, at their worst, become very debilitating and really affect quality of life. In fact, studies show that individuals with dry eye disease are at a higher risk for anxiety and depression. A holistic, wellbeing-led approach to management is continuing to evolve in 2026.”

“We’ve witnessed a powerful shift in recent years when it comes to women’s health, particularly in the fields of intimate wellness, perimenopause, and menopause care, and this awareness is only set to grow in 2026. Women are no longer quietly enduring issues they were once expected to ignore. Instead, they are seeking evidence-based treatments that support both their physical and emotional wellbeing.
Clinical evidence shows that as women age, experience childbirth, or enter menopause, significant physiological changes occur including vaginal laxity, dryness, reduced elasticity, and pelvic floor weakening. It’s now widely recognised that these changes can lead to symptoms such as urinary incontinence, prolapse, loss of sensation, and painful intercourse, all of which can have a profound effect on quality of life, relationships, and self-confidence.
Pregnancy and childbirth, especially when associated with extensive perineal tears or instrumental delivery, often leave lasting impacts. These may affect a woman’s ability to function comfortably in daily life, work, or physical activity. Just as we emphasise postnatal recovery for abdominal and core muscles, the pelvic floor and vaginal tissues require equal attention and rehabilitation to restore both function and wellbeing.
In midlife, hormonal changes further contribute to the onset of Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM), with symptoms such as dryness, irritation, recurrent infections, and a decline in tissue health and elasticity. Treatments that stimulate collagen and elastin production help restore thickness, hydration, and resilience to the vaginal tissues. Importantly, they can also help reduce discomfort and pain during intercourse and improve overall sexual wellbeing.
What’s particularly promising is the way these treatments are now perceived. Once dismissed as merely “cosmetic,” they are increasingly understood as essential health interventions, restoring physical function, intimacy, comfort, and emotional confidence. The broader wellness culture, combined with social media and open education, is helping to dismantle long-held taboos and increase access to trusted information.
As more women live longer, fuller, and more empowered lives, their health priorities are evolving and so are their expectations. In 2026 and beyond, intimate wellness is no longer a luxury. It is foundational. When women feel strong, comfortable, and connected to their bodies, they show up more confidently in every part of life and that’s a future worth investing in.”
