Poikiloderma Alderley Edge

At Dr Sknn we make use of the Lynton Lumina, a state-of-the-art Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL) which is also utilised by the NHS and private hospital facilities throughout the UK to safely and effectively treat Poikiloderma on skin types I-IV. This system emits light within a particular wavelength range, permitting us to target absorption peaks in haemoglobin and oxy-haemoglobin. This allows us to treat lesions of varying sizes and depths with minimal damage to the surrounding skin. Subsequent to the treatment, the affected vessels are consumed by the body, leaving barely any trace of the lesion.

At Dr Sknn, IPL is used to make the most of the power of light. This light is taken up by the Poikiloderma, heating them to a point that they spasm and collapse, creating a seal. In the weeks after, the harmed vessels are naturally reabsorbed by the body, leaving no trace of the lesion originally.

At Dr Sknn, a medical history and physical examination, comprising of photographs, will be conducted during the appointment. This is when any concerns, expectations, results, or questions you may have can be discussed. Ahead of the Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment, the potential risks and post-treatment advice associated with the procedure will be talked through thoroughly to guarantee you understand them and a consent form must be signed. In addition, if a new area is being treated, a small patch test will be done to ensure it is suitable.
