Real Patient ExperiencesAcne Reviews

“I have always struggled with my acne and scarring, after trying 100's of products, creams, i finally found Zoe @ bare faced aesthetics. After having tried so many products and services in the past, i was starting to get doubtful in a service or product that would actually work.

Zoe is professional but personal, she guided me through the whole process and explained how i can see the results.
After going a few times, i have now booked on a yearly package and i drive 130 miles each way for my appointment!

I do that because of the results I'm getting but also the service, i wasn't 'hard sold' or it didn't feel like i was walking into a hospital.

Can't recommend Zoe enough guys!”

“Thank you for fixing my skin! My acne has now cleared and I feel confident again. x”

“I started going to Fab Clinics a few months ago for acne treatment, so far I’ve had a glow peel and microneedling sessions. The difference in my skin is incredible, it’s completely clear now. All my treatments have been with aesthetician Lucie who has explained every step of the treatment and been so kind and caring. Can’t recommend the clinic enough and can’t wait to go back soon”

“Dr Kathryn is truly a marvel.

I suffered from acne as a teenager and whilst I had pretty much outgrown it by my early 20’s my skin was less than top notch and had always bothered me. I had read about the Obagi skincare system and though it might be worth trying out.

A friend recommended Dr Kathryn and I contacted her clinic for an appointment.

From the moment I met her I knew I was in safe hands - she is extremely knowledgeable, calm and sympathetic.

We discussed the pros and cons to undergoing an he Obagi Nu Derm treatment and I thought it was worth giving it a go. Dr Kathryn prescribed the Obagi Nu Derm regime and I followed it diligently for the full 12 weeks as recommended.

My skin went through the classic peeling stages that Obagi is well known to produce. I stuck with it and I am so glad I did - the improvement is amazing. The skin texture is smoother and the numerous sun spots on my face have faded considerably to the point where they are virtually undetectable.

I now visit Dr Kathryn every few months so that she can keep an eye on how my skin is doing.

I’ve had a couple of medical grade skin peels carried out by Dr Kathryn also. These peels were carried out a fortnight before I have had a big event to attend e.g. a wedding and also a conference to go to.

The peels were really great and I am committed to having a couple of peels a year by way of maintenance and possibly another round of Obagi Nu Derm in a couple of years time and, of course, tons of sunblock in between.”

“I have suffered from acne for many years, this has now lead to scars and discolouration to my skin. But now after only 3 sessions of Mezotics my face has completely transformed! I am incredibly happy with the results and would definitely recommend to anyone struggling with similar problems. Dr Ian Strawford and the teams friendly and professional manor really puts your mind at ease. knowing they really care for their patients makes stepping into the clinic a really enjoyable experience. Thank you for rebuilding my confidence, I now truly love my skin!”

“Lovely friendly environment and staff are very helpful. Had a few skin peels and microdermabrasion for acne treatment and I am now using the Obagi Clenziderm kit, which I was also recommended. The results have been amazing and its only been 6 weeks and Ive seen great results already! Im going to try the dermastamp treatment now to get the best results possible. Thank you Aspire Clinic!”

“I cannot recommend Alison highly enough. Not only she is a wonderful person but she's done wonders to my skin.
I had a sudden very bad cystic acne breakout. For months of using steroid creams and taking antibiotics, nothing seemed to help, I then decided to see Alison. Her place is very warm and welcoming and she made me at ease straight away. After analysing my skin, she prescribed a course of peels and a skin care regime using Alumier HD products. Already after a month, I saw a massive improvements and 10 months on, my skin has never been better! I keep getting compliments on how wonderfully glowing my skin looks and this is all down to Alison's incredible knowledge and work. I can't thank her enough.”

“Enjoyed the treatment. Great service, friendly environment. I trust Maureen, she makes me feel comfortable and relaxed.”

“Excellent treatment and recommendations, working to take my skin in the right direction. Everyone at the clinic was very friendly and helped both to put me at ease and to ensure that I was aware of all the options I had.

I have so far had a single treatment in the clinic and have been prescribed a skin routine. The combination of the two have cleared up my skin and helped me to be much more confident in it, decreasing the frequency of cystic acne as well as clearing out my pores in general. It was definitely worth the trip out of London to a more relaxed atmosphere with fantastic treatment.

The hydrafacial was particularly positive, producing immediate effects on my skin (the blackhead removal in particular was very noticeable). Ms. Balaratnam and the team made the experience incredibly relaxing, with no hint of the stress and potential pain that I know can be associated with some treatments.

I am looking forward to seeing further improvements in my skin as I continue on the course of skincare.”

“I was treated by Dr Ayham Al-Ayoubi at LMA Clinic for my deep acne scars using Sculptra & Ellanse and my scars have vanished. I have to say I how impressed I was with the results. Dr Ayoubi and his team are extremely professional and the whole procedure was pain free. The team are very friendly and make you feel immediately at ease.
Dr Ayoubi also introduced me to ZO Skincare products which is a fantastic and I strongly recommend Dr Ayoubi and his LMA Clinic to everyone.
I will definitely be coming back and have recommended all my friends to him.
An amazing experience all round. Thank you!
