Port Wine Stain Augmentation

At Dr Sknn, the Lynton Lumina, a modern Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL), is implemented to treat Port Wine Stain on skin types I-IV securely and successfully, in the same way as that utilised by NHS and private hospitals around the UK. By releasing light in certain wavelength ranges, we are able to target absorption peaks in haemoglobin and oxy-haemoglobin, allowing us to treat Port Wine Stain of various sizes and depths while causing minimal damage to the surrounding skin. Following the treatment, the damaged vessels are absorbed by the body, leaving no sign of the initial lesion.

With the aid of IPL at Dr Sknn, we make use of light energy, which is absorbed by the Port Wine Stain, heating them to a degree that they contract and/or collapse and then seal. Over the following weeks, the impaired vessels are naturally taken in by the body, leaving hardly any trace of the primary lesion.

At Dr Sknn, a medical history, physical examination and taking of photographs will be done during the appointment. This is a great opportunity to bring up any fears, expectations, results or inquiries. Before undergoing the Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment, the advice after the procedure and risks related to the treatment will be explained and a consent form is required to be signed. Furthermore, a patch test will be done if it is a new area being treated to ensure it is suitable.
