Port Wine Stain Altrincham

At Dr Sknn we employ the Lynton Lumina, a cutting-edge Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL) used by the NHS and private medical institutions across the UK, to safely and effectively treat Port Wine Stain on skin types I-IV. Through emitting light in a particular wavelength ranges, this system targets absorption peaks in haemoglobin and oxy-haemoglobin, enabling the treatment of Port Wine Stain at different sizes and depths, while causing minimal damage to the surrounding skin. Subsequent to the treatment, the damaged vessels are reabsorbed by the body and the initial lesion is barely discernible.

By utilising IPL at Dr Sknn, we avail ourselves of light energy, which is absorbed by the Port Wine Stain, causing them to heat up to an extent that they spasm and/or collapse and then seal. Subsequently, the ruined vessels are naturally taken in by the body over the ensuing weeks, leaving no trace of the primary lesion.

At Dr Sknn, the consultation will involve a medical history, physical examination including images being taken. During the consultation, any anxieties, expectations, results or queries can be discussed. Before undergoing the Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment, the post-treatment advice and risks associated with the procedure will be discussed, and a consent form needs to be signed. Additionally, a patch test will be executed if the area being treated is new to make sure it is suitable.
