Changes Clinic is based at 1000 Lakeside, Cosham, Portsmouth. Southampton clients travelling via the M27 typically reach us in 30 to 35 minutes, with easy access from the motorway at Cosham. Free parking is available at 1000 Lakeside. Acne treatment at Changes Clinic starts with a clinical skin assessment — not a product recommendation. Your qualified, experienced & insured practitioners review your skin, your history with acne, and any previous treatments before agreeing a plan that is specific to your skin.
About Acne Treatment
Acne is a clinical skin condition driven by a combination of factors: sebum production, follicular blockage, bacterial activity, and in many cases hormonal and inflammatory processes. Effective treatment addresses the right combination of these factors for the individual, which is why a proper skin assessment matters before any treatment begins.
At Changes Clinic, our qualified, experienced & insured practitioners carry out a full assessment of your skin type, acne severity, the areas affected, and your previous treatment history. From this, we build a treatment plan that may draw from a range of clinical options including chemical peels (including salicylic acid and TCA peels), LED light therapy (blue light to target bacteria, red light to reduce inflammation), prescription topical treatments, and advanced skincare protocols.
For clients experiencing acne scarring alongside active acne, we also offer microneedling and laser resurfacing to address the texture and pigmentation left behind by previous breakouts. Your qualified, experienced & insured practitioners will discuss the sequencing of treatments if multiple concerns are present.
Treatment for acne typically requires a consistent course of sessions alongside a managed home routine. Improvement builds over weeks and months, not days. Your qualified, experienced & insured practitioners will set realistic expectations from the first consultation and track your progress across sessions.

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)

Common Questions
How far is Changes Clinic from Southampton?
The clinic is at 1000 Lakeside, Cosham, Portsmouth. Southampton is approximately 30 to 35 minutes away via the M27. Free parking is available on site, so you can arrive directly for your appointment without arranging parking elsewhere.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions depends on your acne type, severity, and treatment plan. Most clients begin with a course of 4 to 6 sessions for an initial clinical response. From there, a maintenance programme is often recommended to keep the skin clear. Your qualified, experienced & insured practitioners will outline a realistic treatment schedule at your free consultation, including a progress review point to assess how your skin is responding.
Is there any downtime after acne treatment?
It depends on the treatment used. LED therapy has no downtime. Chemical peels typically produce visible peeling or flaking for 2 to 5 days depending on the depth. Microneedling may leave redness for 24 to 48 hours. Your qualified, experienced & insured practitioners will always discuss what to expect after each specific treatment before it takes place, so you can plan your schedule accordingly.
What happens at my first appointment?
Your first visit is a free clinical consultation. Your qualified, experienced & insured practitioners examine your skin under clinical lighting, reviews your medical history and any previous acne treatments, and asks about your skin routine and lifestyle factors that may be contributing to breakouts. From this assessment, they build a personalised treatment plan and discuss the options with you. There is no obligation to proceed on the day, and you can take the plan away to consider before booking your first treatment.
