About Skin Lesion Removal
Changes Clinic provides clinical removal of a range of benign skin lesions. These include moles, cysts (sebaceous and epidermoid), lipomas, skin tags, warts, verrucae, dermatofibromas, and other raised or subcutaneous growths. Our practitioners assess each lesion individually to determine the right removal technique for its type, size, and location.
Common removal methods include surgical excision (cutting away the lesion with a margin of healthy tissue, then closing the wound with sutures), shave excision (for raised lesions that do not extend deep into the skin), and punch biopsy (for smaller lesions where a tissue sample is also needed). The method used depends entirely on the nature of your specific lesion.
Where appropriate, removed tissue is sent for histological analysis. If your practitioner has any concern about the nature of a lesion, they will recommend this as a matter of course. You will receive the results and any follow-up information directly from the clinic.
Treatment is carried out under local anaesthetic. The procedure itself is typically 20 to 45 minutes depending on the lesion and method used. Most patients drive themselves to and from 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.

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 Guildford?
From Guildford to 1000 Lakeside, Cosham is approximately 50 to 55 minutes via the A3. Free parking is available directly at the clinic. Most patients drive themselves without any difficulty.
How many sessions will I need?
Most skin lesions are removed in a single appointment. Larger lesions or those requiring staged treatment may need a follow-up. Your practitioner will confirm the session plan at your consultation once they have assessed the lesion in person.
Is there any downtime after skin lesion removal?
The treated area will be covered with a small dressing immediately after the procedure. Sutures, where placed, are typically removed at seven to ten days. Most patients return to normal activity within a day or two. We advise keeping the wound dry and protected during healing and avoiding strenuous exercise that might put tension on the wound site.
What happens at my first appointment?
Your free consultation involves a clinical assessment of the lesion, a brief medical history, and a discussion of the appropriate removal method. Your practitioner explains the procedure, the expected healing process, and whether histology is recommended. You choose whether to proceed, and your treatment appointment is booked separately at a time that suits you.
