At Dr Sknn we use the Lynton Lumina which is a state-of-the-art Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL), which is also used by the NHS and private hospitals across the UK, to treat pigmented lesions safely and effectively on skin types I-IV. By emitting light in a specific wavelength ranges at Dr Sknn the pigmented lesions will absorb the light causing them to heat up. The heat will damage the cells containing melanin, while causing minimal damage to the surrounding skin, the damaged lesion turn darker and may crust, over the following weeks they gradually flake away from the skin leaving little trace of the original lesion.
The area treated will also improve the tone and appearance of skin while stimulating the natural production of collagen resulting in a firmer and more youthful looking skin

Some but not all pigmented lesions respond to IPL as such at Dr Sknn we provide a patient centered personalised tailor-made skincare regime that has a possible combination of 57 possible concentrations and 1159 possible combinations that have been dermatologically tested and are evidence based and contain no preservatives to tackle pigmented lesions unresponsive to IPL.
