Poikiloderma West Didsbury

At Dr Sknn, the Lynton Lumina - a sophisticated Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL) - is utilised to treat Poikiloderma on skin types I-IV, similarly used by NHS and private hospitals across the UK. This system releases light in precise wavelength ranges, enabling our team at Dr Sknn to target absorption peaks in haemoglobin and oxy-haemoglobin, permitting us to treat lesions in different sizes and depths while inflicting minimal damage to the nearby skin. When the process is complete, the affected vessels are absorbed by the body and are often left with no trace of the initial lesion.

At Dr Sknn we make use of IPL, the light energy taken in by the Poikiloderma which heat them up to a degree that they go into spasm and/or close down. In the following weeks, the damaged vessels are absorbed naturally by the body, seldom leaving any indication of the initial injury.

At Dr Sknn, during the consultation a medical history including a physical examination will take place, with photographs being taken. During this session, you will have the opportunity to share any worries, expectations, results, or questions you may have. Before the treatment, any advice and hazards associated with the Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment will be gone through to make sure you grasp them completely and a consent form will be signed. Moreover, if it is a fresh area being treated, a small patch test using IPL will be conducted to make sure it is appropriate.
