Port Wine Stain Birthmarks Somerford

At Dr Sknn, we make use of the Lynton Lumina - a state-of-the-art Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL) - which is utilised by the NHS as well as private hospitals around the UK, in order to deliver safe and effective treatments of Port Wine Stain Birthmarks for skin types I-IV. By emitting light of a specific wavelength range, at Dr Sknn we target the absorption peaks in haemoglobin and oxy-haemoglobin, thereby allowing treatments of various sizes and depths of Port Wine Stain Birthmarks, while causing minimal damage to the surrounding skin. Post-treatment, the damaged vessels are taken in by the body, leaving little or no indication of the initial lesion.

At Dr Sknn, IPL is employed to make use of light energy; the luminescence is soaked up by the veins, heating them to a point that causes them to constrict and/or collapse and thus seal. During the following weeks, the impaired vessels are absorbed by the body without any sign of the original lesion.

At Dr Sknn, during the consultation, a medical history as well as a physical examination, which includes pictures, 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 perils connected with the treatment will be gone over prior to the treatment to make sure you fully comprehend them, and a consent form will be signed. Likewise, if it is a fresh area being treated, a small patch test will be carried out to evaluate its compatibility with Intense Pulsed Light (IPL).
