Free parking is available at 1000 Lakeside, so patients from Southampton do not need to factor in additional travel time searching for a space.

About Skin Lesion Removal
Skin lesion removal at Changes Clinic covers surgical removal of a range of benign and suspicious skin growths, including moles, cysts, lipomas, skin tags, warts, verrucas, and sebaceous cysts. Our nurse prescriber carries out a clinical assessment before any removal is agreed, taking into account the lesion type, size, location, and your medical history.
Removal methods include surgical excision (cutting out the lesion with a scalpel and closing with sutures), shave excision for raised lesions, and cauterisation for smaller superficial growths. The method used depends on the nature of the lesion and the best approach for a clean cosmetic outcome. Where there is any clinical concern about a lesion's appearance, we recommend histological analysis of the removed tissue.
Most procedures are performed under local anaesthetic in a single appointment. Depending on the lesion and technique, the appointment takes 20 to 60 minutes. Patients are given written aftercare instructions and information about wound care and suture removal if applicable.

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
How far is Changes Clinic from Southampton?
The clinic is at 1000 Lakeside, Cosham, Portsmouth. The drive from Southampton takes approximately 30 to 35 minutes via the M27. Free parking is available at 1000 Lakeside, so there is nothing to arrange when you arrive.
How many sessions will I need?
Most lesions are removed in a single appointment. For larger cysts or lipomas, or where a lesion has recurred, a follow-up appointment may be needed. Your nurse prescriber will discuss what to expect at your free consultation, including the expected outcome and any possibility of recurrence specific to the type of lesion being removed.
Is there any downtime after skin lesion removal?
This depends on the procedure. Smaller removals using cauterisation or shave excision heal quickly with minimal disruption. Surgical excision with sutures requires wound care for 5 to 14 days, and patients should avoid strenuous activity or submerging the area in water during this time. Your nurse prescriber will go through specific aftercare instructions before you leave.
What happens at my first appointment?
Your first visit is a free clinical consultation. Your nurse prescriber examines the lesion, discusses your medical history, and explains the removal options appropriate for your specific case. You will leave the consultation with a clear recommendation, a cost estimate, and a planned appointment for the procedure if you wish to go ahead. Removal can sometimes take place on the same day if the appointment slot allows.
