Changes Clinic is at 1000 Lakeside, Cosham, Portsmouth. From Guildford, the drive down the A3 takes approximately 50 to 55 minutes. Free parking is available on site at Lakeside, and the clinic is a professional clinical setting. Acne treatment appointments begin with a proper skin assessment, not a product recommendation.
Our practitioners take time to understand your skin, your history, and what you have already tried. Acne treatment at Changes Clinic is personalised rather than prescriptive.

About Acne Treatment
Acne is a clinical skin condition. At Changes Clinic, our practitioners assess your skin type, acne severity, skin tone, and treatment history before building a plan. The same treatment does not work for every skin or every type of acne, and applying the wrong approach can make the condition worse.
We offer a range of clinical treatments for active acne and post-acne concerns. These include: clinical chemical peels (salicylic acid, lactic acid, and combination formulas appropriate for acneic skin), LED light therapy (blue light targets acne-causing bacteria, red light supports healing and reduces inflammation), medical-grade extraction, and skin health programmes combining in-clinic treatment with home care guidance.
For post-acne scarring, we offer treatments that address pigmentation and textural change, including peels and light therapies targeted at skin renewal. We assess the type of scarring before recommending a treatment, as different scar types respond to different approaches.
Treatment sessions typically take 45 to 75 minutes depending on the treatment used. Most acne treatment courses involve four to eight sessions spaced two to four weeks apart. Some clients see meaningful improvement within the first two to three sessions. Results vary by skin type and severity, and we discuss what to realistically expect at the consultation.

Why Choose Changes Clinic Near Guildford
Clinical assessment before any treatment plan. Acne does not follow a single treatment path. Our practitioners assess your skin, your history, and your goals before recommending anything. Clients from Guildford who have tried other clinics often tell us the difference is in how thoroughly we assess before we treat.
CQC-registered clinic, medical-grade treatments. We operate from a CQC-registered clinical environment and use professional-grade peels and LED devices. These are not the same as salon facials. Clinical-strength formulations produce clinical results, and they are applied by practitioners trained to do so safely.
Free consultation, Klarna available. Your first appointment is free. We assess your skin and outline a treatment plan with honest expectations. If you choose to proceed, Klarna lets you spread the cost across three monthly payments at 0% interest. Parking at Lakeside is free on every visit.

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 :) .

She made me feel completely at ease. Such a down-to-earth lady that you can feel genuinely comfortable with. Her prices are so reasonable and very affordable too. I highly recommend Andrea

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)

From Guildford, the clinic at 1000 Lakeside, Cosham is around 50 to 55 minutes south via the A3. Free on-site parking is available at Lakeside, so there are no additional costs or logistics when you arrive.
How many sessions will I need?
Most acne treatment courses at Changes Clinic involve four to eight sessions. The number depends on your skin type, the severity of your acne, and which treatments your practitioner recommends.

Your practitioner explains what to expect after each session. We provide clear aftercare instructions and recommend suitable home care products to support your skin between appointments.
What happens at my first appointment?
Your free consultation involves a detailed skin assessment. Your practitioner examines your skin under clinical lighting, discusses your acne history, any previous treatments or skincare products you use, your lifestyle factors, and your goals. They explain which treatments they recommend and why, what results are realistic, and how the course is structured. You decide whether to proceed without any pressure.
