Benefits

01. Cleanser
Due to lifestyle factors and sun damage many people start to suffer from premature ageing which starts from their early thirties. Sun damage can result in lines and wrinkles accompanied with dull, rough skin with enlarged pores, along side mottled skin tone and areas of abnormal pigmentation.
At Dr Sknn we use the Lynton Lumina which is a state-of-the-art Intense Pulsed Light System, which is also used by the NHS and private hospitals across the UK, with specific hand pieces in order to address premature ageing in skin types I-IV by promoting fibroblast activity and subtly restructure collagen within the skin.
Many people from their early-thirties onwards suffer from premature aging largely due to sun-damage and other lifestyle factors. This sun damage often results in dull, rough skin, with enlarged pores and lines and wrinkles. Mottled skin tone and areas of abnormal pigmentation, along with vascular irregularities such as telangiectasias, are also common.

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)
illumiFacial® is the ‘next generation’ of the highly successful ‘Photofacial’ treatment, using a new and unique combination of specialist Lynton skincare together with powerful, medical-grade Lynton IPL technology.
Skin Type I - IV
Grade 1 to 3 Acne Treatment
Promotes Collagen Formation
Purpose: This peel effectively removes dead skin cells and the pockets of air.
Lynton 650 IPL:
Purpose: After removing the superficial barriers, the Lynton 650 IPL is more effectively absorbed within the dermis.
Result: It enhances skin texture by inducing mild erythema and causing reversible damage to the collagen network.
Lynton 585 IPL:
Purpose: This can be applied subsequently to 'spot treat' individual areas showing broken thread vessels and pigmentation.
Alternative Use: When used on lower settings, it can serve as a full-face treatment, potentially in place of the 650 IPL.
What should I expect during the Consultation?
What should I expect during the Treatment?
You may experience a superficial tingling feeling on the skin and you may see a darkening of pigment spots before they flake away - this means the treatment has worked perfectly in providing you with a more even, flawless skin tone. As well as clearer, healthier skin, you will also experience an ongoing improvement to the firmness and plumpness of your skin in the following months post-treatment, as new collagen is stimulated deep within the skin tissue.
