What does skin lesion removal actually involve?

Many patients come to us having waited months for an NHS referral that never progressed, or having been told their lesion is benign and therefore not a clinical priority. They want it removed for a combination of reasons: it catches on clothing, it has changed in appearance, it bothers them cosmetically, or they simply want to know what it is. Understanding what the removal process involves is often what prevents them from booking.

Skin lesion removal at Changes Clinic is a clinical procedure, not a cosmetic treatment. A practitioner examines the lesion first. If they have any concern about its appearance, they will refer you to a dermatologist before any removal takes place. If the lesion is suitable for removal in our clinic, the procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic. You will feel pressure but not pain. The lesion is excised and the site is closed with sutures or left to heal depending on its size and location.

The procedure itself typically takes 20-40 minutes. Most patients return to normal activity the same day. Here is what we offer at Changes Clinic.

About skin lesion removal at Changes Clinic

We treat a wide range of benign skin lesions including moles, cysts, lipomas, skin tags, dermatofibromas and other raised or pigmented lesions. Each patient undergoes a clinical assessment before we agree to remove anything.

Where histological analysis is appropriate, we send the excised tissue for laboratory examination. This provides a definitive answer on what the lesion was, which many patients find reassuring.

Treatment at a glance: - Procedure time: 20-40 minutes depending on size and type - Anaesthetic: local, administered at the start of the procedure - Downtime: mild soreness for a few days. Sutures removed at 7-14 days depending on site - Histology: available on request or where clinically indicated - Areas treated: face, scalp, neck, back, chest, arms, legs and other body sites - Follow-up: included as standard to review healing and remove sutures if placed

Skin lesion removal performed by our clinical practitioners

Skin lesion removal requires more than a steady hand. It requires clinical judgment: the ability to assess a lesion's features, identify any features that require further investigation, and select the appropriate removal method for the tissue type, depth and location of the lesion.

At Changes Clinic, every removal is preceded by a clinical assessment. We do not remove lesions without first examining them. If we see anything that warrants a dermatology review, we will tell you directly and support you in getting the right referral.

Changes Clinic is CQC-registered, providing independent oversight of our clinical standards and procedures. You can read more about the procedures we offer on our skin lesion removal service page.

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?
Surgical removal of benign skin lesions is a well-established, low-risk procedure when performed by a trained clinical practitioner in a properly equipped clinical environment. The main risks are minor: temporary bruising, swelling and soreness around the site. Infection is uncommon when aftercare instructions are followed. Our clinical practitioners carry out a full assessment before any removal, and all equipment is sterile and single-use.
How is clinical removal different from over-the-counter lesion treatments?
Over-the-counter products, such as topical acids or freezing kits, are designed for very superficial lesions and work with variable results. They cannot remove deep cysts or lipomas, and they are not appropriate for any lesion where the nature of the tissue needs to be confirmed. Clinical removal under local anaesthetic provides a complete and precise result, and allows the tissue to be sent for histological analysis if required.
Can skin lesion removal be combined with other treatments at Changes Clinic?
Yes. Some patients combine a skin lesion removal appointment with a consultation about other skin concerns. Depending on the lesion site and healing status, skin treatments such as professional skincare or acne treatment can run alongside or follow a removal procedure. Your practitioner will advise on appropriate timing.
How far is Changes Clinic from Littlehampton?
Changes Clinic is at 1000 Lakeside, Cosham, Portsmouth. From Littlehampton the drive takes approximately 35-40 minutes via the A27. Free parking is available at the clinic.
