What Does Skin Lesion Removal Actually Involve?
Many patients considering skin lesion removal are uncertain about what the procedure entails, whether it will hurt, and what happens to the lesion once removed. These are the right questions to ask, and the answers depend on the type of lesion being removed.
Skin lesions are a broad category. They include moles (benign melanocytic naevi), sebaceous cysts, lipomas, skin tags, dermatofibromas, and other benign growths on or just beneath the skin surface. The method of removal depends on the lesion type, its depth, its size, and its location. Superficial tags and small benign lesions can often be removed by electrosurgery or shave excision under local anaesthetic with minimal scarring. Cysts and lipomas, which lie beneath the skin surface, require a small incision to remove the capsule in full; removing only the contents leaves the cyst or lipoma likely to return. Moles with any features warranting further review should always be sent to histology.
At Changes Clinic, your clinician assesses the lesion and explains exactly what the removal will involve, what the procedure feels like, what you will see and feel during the procedure, and what healing looks like. You do not proceed to removal without understanding what you have agreed to.

About Skin Lesion Removal at Changes Clinic
We remove a wide range of benign skin lesions including moles, sebaceous cysts, lipomas, skin tags, and other benign cutaneous growths. All procedures are carried out under local anaesthetic, which means the treatment area is numbed before any work begins. Patients typically feel pressure but not pain during the procedure.
Your appointment begins with a clinical assessment. Your clinician examines the lesion, records its characteristics, and confirms the appropriate removal method. Where a lesion has any features that warrant further examination, histology (sending the removed tissue to a laboratory for analysis) is offered and strongly recommended. Treatment takes between 20 and 60 minutes depending on the complexity of the lesion and how many are being removed. Aftercare instructions are provided before you leave.

Skin Lesion Removal Carried Out by Our Clinician
Skin lesion removal is a minor surgical procedure. It requires clinical skill, anatomical knowledge and appropriate aftercare protocols. At Changes Clinic, all lesion removals are performed by our clinician in a CQC-registered clinical environment in Portsmouth. This is not a beauty treatment.
The CQC registration of our clinic means our procedures, equipment, and hygiene standards are subject to regulatory oversight. Our clinician has the training and experience to identify when a lesion warrants referral rather than private removal and will advise you clearly in those situations.

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 :) .

Common Questions
Is skin lesion removal safe?
Skin lesion removal is a well-established minor surgical procedure with a strong safety record when performed in a clinical setting by a qualified clinician. Common risks include temporary bruising, minor bleeding, and a small scar at the removal site. Infection is rare when aftercare instructions are followed. More serious complications are uncommon. The risk of incomplete removal, which can cause lesions such as cysts to recur, is minimised by using the correct technique for the specific lesion type. Our clinician explains the likely outcome and any risk relevant to your specific lesion before any procedure begins.
How is private skin lesion removal different from NHS removal?
NHS skin lesion removal prioritises lesions considered clinically necessary to remove, typically those with features suggesting malignancy. Benign lesions that cause no medical concern are generally not treated under the NHS regardless of their appearance, size, or discomfort. Private removal at Changes Clinic allows patients to have lesions removed on their terms, with prompt appointments, a detailed consultation, and the option of histology on any removed tissue. Patients seeking confirmation that a lesion is benign, or who simply want a mole or cyst addressed without waiting for NHS criteria to be met, are the typical candidates.
Can skin lesion removal be combined with other procedures at Changes Clinic?
Yes. Patients sometimes have multiple lesions removed at a single appointment where they are in accessible locations and the total procedure time is manageable. Some patients also combine a lesion removal appointment with a consultation for other services. Your clinician will advise on what is practical within a single visit based on the number and types of lesions you want removed.
How far is Changes Clinic from Bognor Regis?
Changes Clinic is at 1000 Lakeside, Cosham, Portsmouth. From Bognor Regis, the drive takes approximately 35 to 40 minutes via the A27. Free parking is available on site. Most lesion removal procedures require only one appointment, making the journey from Bognor Regis straightforward.
