Her clinics combine advanced medical treatment with practical advice to help patients regain confidence and long-term skin health.

Comprehensive acne consultations
Our dedicated acne clinic offers in-depth consultations for all types of acne, from mild breakouts to severe cystic or scarring acne. Every appointment begins with a detailed assessment of your skin and medical history, as well as lifestyle factors. Dr Anita Amin will discuss your goals and explain the treatment options that best match your needs. Patients can book private acne consultations in clinics across East and West Sussex or choose a secure online consultation through our online service. This flexibility makes it easy to access expert care wherever you live.
Tailored acne treatment plans
Shop-bought or non-prescription remedies often fail to control persistent or severe acne. At our acne clinic we create bespoke treatment plans using more than 30 prescription options. These include topical therapies, hormonal treatments and oral medications, such as isotretinoin when appropriate. Our evidence-based approach helps many patients achieve clear skin within months, restoring self-confidence and preventing long-term scarring. Throughout the treatment, you will receive guidance on gentle skin care routines, diets, and lifestyle choices to support your results.
Fast access to a dermatologist
Waiting times for NHS dermatology can be long, but private appointments with Dr Anita Amin are usually available within two weeks. During your acne consultation, she will answer your questions, outline expected timelines for improvements, and provide written instructions for your treatment plan. Regular follow-ups are arranged to monitor your progress and adjust medication if needed. This close supervision ensures that you achieve the best possible outcome safely.
Convenient online acne clinic
For patients who prefer not to travel, our online acne clinic offers video consultations with Dr Anita from the comfort of your own home. This is especially helpful for cystic or scarring acne that needs oral medication under specialist supervision. The service includes safety checks, prescription deliveries, and regular reviews to track your progress. Many patients find this approach discreet, time-saving and supportive.
A full range of dermatology services
Although acne treatment is a core focus, Dr. Anita also provides an expert assessment of moles, lumps, rashes, and other skin concerns. Clinics are held regularly at The BMI Esperance in Eastbourne, The Spire Montefiore in Hove and The BMI Goring Hall Hospital near Worthing. Patients from across Sussex are welcome to book consultations for any skin problem that is worrying them.
