Treating acne successfully depends on identifying the right combination of factors: skin type, acne severity, hormonal involvement, skin barrier condition and the history of what has already been tried. Generic acne products fail for most people because they address one factor while ignoring the others, or because they apply the same solution to every skin type regardless of the underlying cause.
Clinical acne treatment works differently. A practitioner-led assessment identifies the specific type of acne you have, the state of your skin barrier and the most appropriate treatment approach for your profile. This matters because the wrong treatment can worsen inflammation, damage the barrier or cause post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, particularly on darker skin tones.
At Changes Clinic, your practitioner assesses your skin at a face-to-face consultation before recommending any treatment. They will take a history of what you have tried, examine your skin under clinical lighting, and build a treatment plan around your actual skin rather than a standard protocol. Some clients have tried dozens of over-the-counter products. Others have been on antibiotic courses that stopped working. The starting point is understanding where your skin is now.
Here is what we offer at Changes Clinic.

About acne treatment at Changes Clinic
We offer a range of clinical acne treatments tailored to the type and severity of your acne, your skin tone and your treatment history. Options include chemical peels, laser and light-based treatments, and skin-specific product protocols guided by your practitioner.
Chemical peels for acne use exfoliating acids to clear congestion, reduce surface bacteria and accelerate cell turnover. Laser and light-based treatments target the bacteria responsible for inflamed acne and reduce sebaceous gland activity. Product-led protocols address the skin barrier and long-term skin health between clinical sessions.

Very happy with my consultation. I got the answers I was hoping for and I will soon be booking myself in for a quick and easy mole/sun spot removal.
I now have a new understanding of what the problem is and what has caused it. Thank you.

I’ve suffered with rosacea for several years and have tried all sorts of creams, skincare routines and products, but nothing really made a lasting difference.
Looking after my skin and being mindful of my diet definitely helps to keep it under control, but IPL at Changes Clinic has made the biggest difference by far. The redness in my face has reduced so much, and even when I do get a flare up, it’s nowhere near as bad as it used to be because the underlying redness has improved so much.
Everyone at Changes Clinic has been friendly, professional and really knowledgeable. They’ve always taken the time to answer any questions and made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process.
I’d happily recommend Changes Clinic to anyone who suffers from rosacea and is thinking about IPL. It’s made a huge difference to my skin and has given me so much more confidence.

It’s the first time I’ve done something like this. What a lovely place & people. Very kind, polite & efficient. Very impressed with my procedure, obviously, it hasn’t healed yet, but will definitely be back for more treatment & also considering other treatments too. Well impressed and everything was explained as the treatment was carried out, pleasantly surprised, thank you so much for taking such good care of my skin. Lee B

I had PRP Hair Treatment, with Sumayiah, she is very friendly, she takes the time to explain the procedure and really makes sure to focus on target areas.
I have had 2 treatments so far and I already see a difference in my hair density and texture. She can use a gun or syringe, the syringe goes deeper and achieves better results, so its worth asking for the syringe method.
I combined my PRP with Calecim serum and that gives an even greater boost. So I recomend you sign up and ask for a booking with Sumaiyah, you'll be very happy that you did..

One of the best decisions I’ve made for my skin! The treatments are effective, safe, and handled by experienced professionals. I struggled with acne for years, and after visiting this clinic, I finally see clear and healthy skin.
The staff always follows up after treatments, which shows how much they care about their clients’ progress. Their attention to detail and dedication to customer satisfaction is truly impressive. I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone who wants real results and excellent service.

Lovely relaxed atmosphere with great staff. My lazer hair removal was undertaken by two very capable proffessional young women Kelly and Surmaiyah. Both demonstrate constant care and ensure this not always comfortable experience is as pleasant as possible. The facility is immaculately clean and there is excellent visitor free parking available.
I have no hesitation in recommending the clinic to others and whilst I can only comment on the treatments I have received to date I will be availing myself of some of the others services offered.

I am so glad I visited the Changes Clinic today for an upper abdominal ultrasound. I was a nervous wreck as I have a bit of a phobia of scans & Andrea was just brilliant with me. So reassuring, she went above & beyond with careful detailed descriptions, even went over some areas twice just for extra reassurance. I left smiling with a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. I have already recommended to a friend & highly recommend to anyone experiencing symptoms they’d like some extra peace of mind for. Was also really easy to book & communication excellent throughout. Thank you so much!!

I’ve been attending changes for facial hair removal for about 6 months now and I can honestly say it’s been one of the best and easiest experiences for me. Sumaiyah has been amazing through every step. From consultation to our current progress. She shows great professionalism, compassion, consideration -especially when I’m having a bad pain tolerance day- and is very meticulous in which the results are to show for it. Every appointment I get a little nervous and Sumaiyah has always put my nerves at ease and worked at a pace that suits me and my needs. I’m very thankful to work with her and be attending changes clinic. I would recommend their treatment. The staff are very welcoming. Adriana Verrier :) .

Chloe was very well informed and helpful. There was probably too much information to absorb in the time span, and more published literature would be helpful (FAQs, prices, offers, medical considerations etc)

Common questions
Is clinical acne treatment safe?
The treatments we offer for acne, including chemical peels and laser therapy, are well-established clinical interventions with documented safety profiles. Side effects depend on the treatment type and your skin: peels can cause redness and temporary flaking; laser can cause mild redness and sensitivity for 24 to 48 hours. We assess your skin at consultation to confirm suitability and adjust settings or formulations to your skin type. If there is any reason a particular treatment is not appropriate for your skin, we will not recommend it.
How is clinical acne treatment different from over-the-counter skincare?
Over-the-counter acne products typically contain actives such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid or niacinamide at concentrations regulated for consumer use. Clinical treatments use higher-strength formulations, medical-grade devices and practitioner-designed protocols that go beyond what can be purchased in a pharmacy. Clinical treatments also include an assessment of your skin's individual needs, which means the intervention is matched to your type of acne rather than applied generically.
Can acne treatment be combined with other treatments at Changes Clinic?
It depends on what is being treated and where your skin is in the course of treatment. Clients who have completed or are managing their acne sometimes enquire about treatments for post-acne scarring or pigmentation, which we also address. Combining active acne treatment with certain injectable or energy-based treatments requires careful timing. Your practitioner will advise on what is appropriate at each stage of your plan.
