Port Wine Stain Birthmarks Chelford

At Dr Sknn, we make use of the state-of-the-art Lynton Lumina, an Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL) also employed by the NHS and private hospitals across the UK to treat Port Wine Stain Birthmarks in a safe and effective way on skin types I-IV. By radiating light in pre-defined wavelength ranges, at Dr Sknn we target absorption peaks in haemoglobin and oxy-haemoglobin, enabling us to treat Port Wine Stain Birthmarks of a variety of sizes and depths while minimising harm to the surrounding skin. Once the treatment is completed, the damaged vessels are taken in by the body and hardly any evidence of the initial lesions are left.

IPL is utilised by Dr Sknn to access the energy of light, the light being taken up by the Port Wine Stain Birthmarks, increasing their temperature to a point that they contract, collapse and seal themselves. In the subsequent weeks, the impaired vessels are taken up naturally by the body, leaving no sign or only a small reminder of the initial blemish.

At Dr Sknn, a full medical history and physical examination, including photographs, is conducted during the consultation. This is the ideal time to express any concerns, aspirations, results, or doubts that you may have. Before the Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment, all relevant post-treatment instructions and potential risks are discussed and a consent form needs to be signed so that you fully comprehend them. In addition, a minor patch test will be done if a new area is being treated, to ensure it is appropriate.
