How Skin Lesion Removal Works at Changes Clinic
Skin lesion removal at Changes Clinic is a minor surgical procedure carried out in a clinical setting. We follow a clear three-step process from assessment to recovery.
Step 1 — Your Clinical Assessment
Your nurse prescriber assesses the lesion in question, reviews your medical history and discusses your options. We examine the size, location and nature of the lesion to confirm the most appropriate removal technique. We also flag any lesions that require a dermatology referral before treatment.
Step 2 — Your Procedure
Removal takes place at our CQC-registered clinic at 1000 Lakeside, Cosham, Portsmouth. We use local anaesthetic to numb the area before any procedure begins. Depending on the lesion, we use surgical excision, shave removal or another appropriate minor surgical technique. Most procedures take 30 to 60 minutes.
Step 3 — Your Recovery
We close the wound with sutures where required and provide detailed aftercare instructions before you leave. Sutures are typically removed at 7 to 14 days. Most patients return to normal daily activity within a day or two of the procedure. Book your free consultation
What We Treat
We remove a range of benign skin lesions, including moles, cysts, lipomas, skin tags, sebaceous cysts, dermatofibromas and warts. Histological analysis of removed tissue can be arranged where clinically appropriate.
Treatment at Changes Clinic is for benign lesions only. We carry out a clinical assessment before every procedure, and we will recommend a dermatology referral if there is any clinical doubt about the nature of a lesion. Your health comes before the appointment.

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
What should I expect at my first appointment?
Your first appointment is a clinical assessment. Your nurse prescriber examines the lesion, asks about your medical history and discusses the removal options available to you. You will leave with a clear picture of the procedure involved, the expected recovery and the likely outcome. You can proceed at the same visit or book a separate treatment appointment.
Am I a suitable candidate for skin lesion removal?
Most patients with benign skin lesions are suitable for minor surgical removal at Changes Clinic. Suitability depends on the lesion type, its location and your general health. We do not remove lesions that show any features concerning for malignancy — those are referred to dermatology. Patients on blood thinners or immunosuppressants should mention this at consultation.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. You can spread the cost of skin lesion removal into 3 monthly payments with Klarna at 0% interest. This is available at booking and covers the full procedure cost.
How far is Changes Clinic from Basingstoke?
Our clinic at 1000 Lakeside, Cosham, Portsmouth is approximately 45 to 50 minutes from Basingstoke via the M3 and M27. Free parking is available at the clinic.
