Port Wine Stain Birthmarks Altrincham

At Dr Sknn, we make use of the Lynton Lumina, a state-of-the-art Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL), which is also employed by the NHS and private hospitals in the UK for treating Port Wine Stain Birthmarks in a secure and efficacious manner on skin types I-IV. By emitting light in pre-defined wavelength ranges, at Dr Sknn we aim to hit absorption peaks in haemoglobin and oxy-haemoglobin, thus allowing us to treat Port Wine Stain Birthmarks of different sizes and depths while causing minimal damage to the nearby skin. After the treatment, the ruined vessels are absorbed by the body and hardly any trace of the original lesion is left.

At Dr Sknn, IPL is utilised to bring about light energy, absorbing it into the Port Wine Stain Birthmarks, heating them to the point that they spasm and/or collapse and seal. Afterwards, the affected vessels are gradually absorbed by the body, leaving minimal or no trace of the initial lesion.

At Dr Sknn, a thorough medical history and physical examination, encompassing photographs, are performed during the initial consultation. This gives you the opportunity to bring up any worries, objectives, results, or questions that you may have. Before the Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment, all the post-treatment advice and the possible hazards connected with it are discussed and a consent paper has to be signed to guarantee that you are aware of the particulars. In addition, a small patch test is done if a new area is being treated to make sure it is suitable.
