The word "removal" covers a wide range of procedures, and what is right for you depends entirely on what type of lesion you have, where it is, and whether it needs laboratory analysis after removal.
Many patients come to us after waiting months for an NHS referral, or after being told their lesion is not a clinical priority despite causing them discomfort or concern. Others want removal for a combination of practical and cosmetic reasons, particularly for moles, cysts, lipomas or skin tags in visible or irritated areas.
The first step at Changes Clinic is always an assessment. Our clinician examines the lesion, takes a detailed history and determines the appropriate approach. We do not proceed with any removal until we understand what we are dealing with. If there is any clinical concern about the nature of the lesion, we refer for investigation before proceeding. Removed tissue can also be sent for histological analysis on request.
Here is what we offer at Changes Clinic.

About skin lesion removal at Changes Clinic
Our clinical team removes a range of benign skin lesions including moles, cysts, lipomas, skin tags and seborrhoeic keratoses. The technique used depends on the type and size of the lesion: options include surgical excision, shave removal and minor cauterisation.
Surgical excision involves removing the lesion and a small margin of surrounding tissue, with the wound closed using sutures. Shave removal is used for raised lesions that sit above the skin surface. Both are carried out under local anaesthetic, so you should not feel pain during the procedure.

Skin lesion removal performed by our clinical team
Skin lesion removal is a minor surgical procedure. At Changes Clinic, it is performed by clinicians with the training and regulatory oversight to carry it out safely. Our CQC-registered clinic at 1000 Lakeside, Cosham, Portsmouth operates under the clinical standards required for minor surgical procedures, including appropriate sterile field protocols.
Every patient has a consultation and assessment before any procedure is booked. This is not optional: the assessment determines the correct technique, confirms the lesion is suitable for private removal, and identifies any need for referral before or after the procedure.

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’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
Is skin lesion removal safe?
Minor surgical lesion removal is a well-established procedure with a low complication rate when performed in a clinical setting by a trained practitioner. The main risks are infection, scarring and incomplete removal. We manage these through proper surgical technique, sterile protocols and thorough post-operative aftercare instructions. All patients receive written guidance on wound care following their procedure. If we have any concern about a lesion's appearance at assessment, we will discuss next steps with you before proceeding.
How is clinical skin lesion removal different from home or over-the-counter removal methods?
Over-the-counter products and home removal devices work on a limited range of surface lesions, typically skin tags, and do not remove deeper structures like cysts or lipomas. They also provide no histological analysis of removed tissue. Clinical removal at Changes Clinic uses surgical technique under local anaesthetic, removes the lesion in full (including the root structure where relevant), and can send tissue for laboratory analysis. This matters particularly for moles or any lesion with an unusual appearance.
Can skin lesion removal be combined with other treatments at Changes Clinic?
Patients often address multiple lesions in a single appointment rather than booking separate visits. We can typically treat more than one lesion at the same session, depending on the type, location and number involved. Your clinician will confirm what is appropriate at your assessment. Some patients also enquire about aesthetic treatments after skin lesion removal once healing is complete.
