What Is Lamprobe?

Lamprobe helps remove these minor skin abnormalities:

Keratoses

Keratoses refer to the excess production of keratinized cells or hyperplasia. Keratoses are soft or hard keratinized cells and appear in different forms:

Seborrheic Keratosis

Seborrheic Keratosis

These are benign skin lesions that are small to large in size and are quite common during middle age or late years. They are not derived from sebum and actually originate in the epidermis. They appear warty, pigmented ( dirty yellow to black), scaly and somewhat flat in shape, sometimes with a cone-like projection and appear stuck on the skin. They are most common on the back, face, scalp and chest and differ from acitinic keratosis which are more erythematous (reddish) and scaly.

Acitinic Keratosis

Acitinic Keratosis (“actinic” refers to sun). These are flat hyperpigmented lesions (a.k.a. liver spots) that appear dry, hard and rough in texture. They are commonly found in sun-exposed areas (face, arms, legs and back of hands) among middle-aged individuals, especially among those who tend to freckle easily e.g. blondes and red heads. These lesions are also commonly found among those individuals who are always in the sun and work in outdoor occupations such as gardeners.
Fibromas

Fibromas

These are benign tumors that are either flat, raised, small or large. They either sit on the skin’s surface or are found attached by a short thin neck or peduncle.
Fibromas

A skin tag is a small fibroma that appear either single or in multiple formation . They are commonly found on the neck, breasts and axillae, and constant friction from necklaces or shirt collars contribute towards their formation in these areas. Sometimes they appear on the eyelids. They can become inflamed if they are repeatedly irritated when tissues are rubbed together in friction.

Sebaceous Lesions

These lesions are associated with sebum, the oily secretions of the sebaceous glands.
Fibromas

Milias ( A.K.A. Whitehead)

These plugs of sebum area covered with layer/s of statum cornified cells and are commonly found on the facial area where there is poor skin exfoliation such as very oily or very dry skins. Milias are commonly found on the forehead and cheeks, and when they are found under the eyes, they can be caused by eyeglasses that obstruct skin exfoliation.

Pimples

These raised lesions are filled with pus and are common in acneic skins or skins with breakouts. Dirt, makeup and keratinized cells in the hair follicle plug the sebaceous duct.
cyst

Sebaceous Cyst

This is a lesion associated with acneic skin and occurs when the overburdened sebaceous duct breaks down and leaks out into the deeper dermis leading to phagocytic action. A hardened wall forms around the infection and this appears on the skin’s surface as a hard, raised and painful lesion with no surface opening.

Sebaceous Hyperplasia

Chronic sun damage contributes towards these lesions resulting in enlarged sebaceous glands. They appear as a soft, yellowish papule with a cauliflower-like or doughnut-shaped appearance They are usually solitary and appear on the forehead and cheeks, particularly on oily and asphyxiated skins.
Xanthelasma

Xanthelasma ( A.K.A. Cholesterol Deposits)

These are soft yellowish plaques of lipids usually found in the periorbital (around eyes) area. They are very tiny to medium in size and some may be raised.

Vascular Lesions

They appear in different forms, an excessive amount giving the skin a reddish or “couperose” complexion.

Telangiestasia

Telangiestasia ( A.K.A. Broken Capillary)

These tiny, superficial dilated blood vessels appear as red wavy lines on the skin, particularly around the nose, cheeks and even the décolleté area.
Hemangiomas

Hemangiomas ( A.K.A. Angiomas, Ruby Points Or Blood Spots)

Hemangiomas are minor vascular abnormalities of the skin found on the face, neck chest or back.
