Port Wine Stain

At Dr Sknn, we make use of the Lynton Lumina - a sophisticated Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL) employed by the NHS and private hospitals all over the UK to treat Port Wine Stain safely and effectively on skin types I-IV. By sending out light at a particular wavelength ranges, we are able to target absorption peaks in haemoglobin and oxyhaemoglobin, allowing us to treat Port Wine Stain at different sizes and at different depths, while causing minimal damage to the nearby skin. Following treatment, the damaged vessels are absorbed by the body, with no or hardly any trace of the original lesion remaining.

At Dr Sknn, through IPL, we take advantage of light energy, this is absorbed by the Port Wine Stain which warms them up to a level where they contract and/or fail, consequently sealing them. Over the upcoming weeks, the impaired vessels are assimilated naturally by the body so little or no sign of the primary lesion is left.

At Dr Sknn, all through the consultation a medical history and physical exam, alongside pictures, will be performed. You will have the opportunity to raise any apprehensions, anticipations, effects, or questions you may have. Before any Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment, any post-treatment guidance and related risks will be talked through to make sure you understand them fully and a permission form will be signed. What's more, a small patch test will be done if it is a fresh area being treated to guarantee it is suitable.
