At Dr Sknn by using IPL we utilize light energy, the light is absorbed by the blood vessel which heats them to a point where they go into spasm and/or collapse and seals. Over the following weeks the damaged vessels are absorbed naturally by the body so little or no trace of the original lesion remains.

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 Vascular lesions safely and effectively on skin types I-IV. By emitting light in a specific wavelength ranges at Dr Sknn we target absorption peaks in haemoglobin and oxy-haemoglobin resulting in being able to treat vascular lesions at different sizes and at different depths while causing minimal damage to the surrounding skin. Following treatment the damaged vessels are absorbed by the body and little or no trace of the initial lesion remains.
