Frequently Asked Questions

What causes acne and how can it be treated?

Acne can be caused by excess oil production, hormonal imbalances, clogged pores, or bacteria. At Real You Clinic, Dr Kathryn will assess your skin and may recommend a combination of treatments such as medical-grade skincare, laser therapy, skin peels, or hormonal support to target the root cause effectively.

Can you treat acne scarring as well?

Yes. We offer advanced treatments for acne scarring, including microneedling, laser resurfacing, and collagen-stimulating injectables to improve skin texture, reduce discolouration, and restore a smoother, more even complexion.

Is treatment suitable for adult acne?

Absolutely. Adult acne is increasingly common, and we provide personalised solutions for clients of all ages. Treatments may include hormonal balancing, topical therapies, or combined protocols to manage and prevent breakouts long-term.

So glad I found Real You clinic!I was looking at 2 other clinics in London which I didn't feel comfortable using - their … More communication felt very factory like and impersonal, not to mention their expensive quotes for the under eye vein removal treatment I wanted.As soon as I got in touch with Real You, it was a different feeling. I managed to get an appointment shortly after. Dr Kathryn is kind and welcoming, she gives background on herself and her clinic. The clinic itself is very cute, fresh and more of a boutique style set up.Dr Kathryn took the time to explain the treatment, take in depth photos, explain what would happen .etc. I'm very happy with the results and will be going back for other treatments. Highly recommend.

Before considering treatment anywhere else, speak to Dr Kathryn. I did and it was one of the best decisions I’ve made.From … More the moment I met her, I felt completely listened to, understood, and cared for. Her knowledge and expertise in aesthetics are incredible, but what truly makes her special is the genuine care she shows for her patients. She takes the time to understand exactly what you want and makes you feel completely comfortable and confident in her hands.Thanks to Dr Kathryn, I’ve regained confidence I thought I had lost, and I’m so grateful for the way she has helped me feel like myself again. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

As always, I am extremely happy with the outcome of my latest facial treatment. Dr Kathryn has an artistic eye and I trust … More her. Dr Kathryn is very skilled and experienced, and has a medical background. This is evident in the way she administers the treatment and it is important to me to know that I am in good hands. The prices are reasonable, results are natural and after every visit I look refreshed and very happy with the way I look. I would highly recommend Dr Kathryn.
