The drive via the M27 takes around 30 to 35 minutes from Southampton city centre. Free parking is available at 1000 Lakeside, and the building has step-free access throughout. Your first appointment begins with a consultation and a test patch before any full treatment takes place.
About Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal at Changes Clinic uses diode and Nd:YAG laser technology, not IPL. The distinction matters: IPL devices scatter light across a broad spectrum, which limits effectiveness and raises the risk of skin reactions, particularly on darker skin tones. Our lasers target the melanin in individual hair follicles with controlled precision. Our practitioners hold VTCT Level 4 qualifications in laser and light therapies — the industry standard for clinical-grade hair removal.
We treat all skin tones. The Nd:YAG wavelength is safe and effective for clients with darker skin, which rules out a significant proportion of IPL-based providers. Common treatment areas include legs, underarms, bikini and Brazilian, face, chest, back, and shoulders. We also treat finer hair on areas like the upper lip and chin.
Because laser targets hair in its active growth phase, a course of sessions is required to catch all follicles at the right point. Results improve progressively across the course, with most clients achieving a significant long-term reduction after completing their 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.

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 :) .

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?
We are based at 1000 Lakeside, Cosham, Portsmouth. The drive from Southampton is approximately 30 to 35 minutes via the M27. Free parking is available on site, so you can arrive ready for your appointment without the hassle of finding a space.
How many sessions will I need?
Most clients need 6 to 8 sessions to achieve a significant long-term reduction. Hair grows in cycles, and laser is only effective during the active growth phase, so spacing sessions 4 to 6 weeks apart is important. After completing the course, top-up sessions once or twice a year can maintain the result for most people.
Is there any downtime after laser hair removal?
There is no downtime in the traditional sense. The treated area may appear slightly red or feel like mild sunburn for a few hours after treatment. We advise clients to avoid sun exposure, heat treatments like saunas, and perfumed products on the area for 24 to 48 hours. You can return to your normal routine the same day.
What happens at my first appointment?
Your first appointment includes a free consultation and a test patch. Your practitioner reviews your medical history and skin type, discusses the areas you want treated and the number of sessions likely needed, then applies laser to a small test area to observe your skin's response. You return for the test patch review before your first full treatment session begins.
