Port Wine Stain Birthmarks East Didsbury

At Dr Sknn, we use the Lynton Lumina, a state-of-the-art Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL), which is also used by the NHS and private hospitals throughout the UK, to treat Port Wine Stain Birthmarks safely and effectively on skin types I-IV. By discharging light in certain wavelength ranges, we are able to target absorption peaks in haemoglobin and oxy-haemoglobin, enabling us to treat Port Wine Stain Birthmarks of various sizes and depths, while causing minimal damage to the surrounding skin. Upon completion of treatment, the damaged vessels are taken up by the body, leaving no trace of the original lesion.

At Dr Sknn, we use IPL to put light energy to use, the light is taken in by the Port Wine Stain Birthmarks which are heated to the point of spasm and/or collapse, and then sealed. Over the following weeks, the damaged vessels are naturally dissolved by the body, leaving hardly any trace of the original damage.

At Dr Sknn, a full medical and physical examination occurs, with photos taken, during the consultation. At this point, any criticisms, prospects, results, or queries you may have can be discussed. Prior to the Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment, any instructions for post-treatment care and any associated risks will be outlined, ensuring you have a thorough understanding of them, and a consent form is signed. Moreover, if the area being treated is new, a little patch test will be conducted to guarantee it is suitable.
