Port Wine Stain Birthmarks

At Dr Sknn we make use of the Lynton Lumina, a top-of-the-range Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL) employed by NHS and private hospitals across the UK to treat Port Wine Stain Birthmarks on skin types I-IV securely and effectively. By emitting light in certain wavelength ranges, at Dr Sknn we can target absorption peaks in haemoglobin and oxy-haemoglobin, thereby allowing us to treat Port Wine Stain Birthmarks of various sizes and depths while causing minimal damage to the surrounding skin. After treatment, the damaged vessels are absorbed by the body and generally there is no sign of the initial lesion.

At Dr Sknn, IPL is used to exploit light energy; the radiance is absorbed by the veins, heating them to a point that causes them to contract and/or collapse and thus seal. Over the ensuing weeks, the damaged vessels are taken in by the body without any sign of the initial lesion.

At Dr Sknn, during the consultation, a medical history as well as a physical examination, with photographs taken, will be completed. This will give you the opportunity to bring up any worries, expectations, results, or queries you may have. Any post-treatment instructions and the risks connected with the treatment will be gone over prior to the treatment to make certain you fully comprehend them, and a consent form will be signed. Likewise, if it is a new area being treated, a small patch test will be carried out to assess its compatibility with Intense Pulsed Light (IPL).
