Skin lesion removal at a clinical standard

Skin lesions, including moles, cysts, lipomas, skin tags and sebaceous cysts, require clinical assessment before removal. The priority is to determine whether a lesion is benign or requires further investigation. At Changes Clinic, our GP carries out every assessment. This is not an aesthetic decision. It is a medical one.

Our clinic at 1000 Lakeside, Cosham, Portsmouth is CQC-registered. CQC registration means our clinical procedures, hygiene standards and practitioner qualifications meet the standards set by the independent regulator for health and social care in England. Skin lesion removal involves breaking the skin and, in most cases, excising tissue. The clinical environment this requires is substantively different from an aesthetic treatment room.

The initial consultation includes a visual examination of the lesion, a review of your medical history and a discussion of the appropriate removal method. For any lesion that raises concern, we refer for further investigation before proceeding. Once the assessment confirms the lesion is suitable for removal, your GP will explain the procedure, the expected healing process and what to do if you have any concerns after treatment. You can find more information on our skin lesion removal service page.

We remove a range of benign skin lesions including moles, skin tags, sebaceous cysts, lipomas, dermatofibromas, warts and verrucae. Removal methods include surgical excision, shave excision and cryotherapy, depending on the type, size and location of the lesion.

Removed tissue can be sent for histological analysis if clinically appropriate. Your GP will advise on this at the consultation.

Very happy with my consultation. I got the answers I was hoping for and I will soon be booking myself in for a quick and easy mole/sun spot removal. I now have a new understanding of what the problem is and what has caused it. Thank you.

I went for an ultrasound scan due the NHS appointment waiting time was a longtime away, the service I recieved from Andrea was excellent, second to none, Andrea explained everything including the results of the scan straight afterwards.

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 :) .

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 Alton?

Changes Clinic is at 1000 Lakeside, Cosham, Portsmouth. Patients from Alton typically reach us in around 40 to 45 minutes via the A31. Free parking is available at the clinic, and the site is easy to find from the main road into Cosham.

Is a consultation required before skin lesion removal?

Yes, without exception. Our GP examines the lesion before any removal takes place. This step confirms the lesion is benign, identifies the appropriate removal method, and gives you accurate information about what the procedure involves and how to care for the wound afterwards. The consultation is free and takes place at our Portsmouth clinic.

How long does recovery take after skin lesion removal?

Recovery depends on the removal method and the size of the lesion. Minor skin tag and shave excision wounds typically heal within 7 to 10 days. Larger surgical excisions, which require sutures, usually take 2 to 3 weeks to heal fully. Your GP will give you written aftercare instructions and explain what to look out for during healing.

What makes Changes Clinic different from a beauty salon or non-clinical provider?

Skin lesion removal is a medical procedure and should only be carried out by a qualified clinician who can assess the lesion before removal. Our treatments are performed by a GP in a CQC-registered clinic. This is categorically different from laser or diathermy removal offered in beauty salons without prior medical assessment. The clinical assessment is what protects you from having a lesion removed that should have been referred for further investigation first.
