At Dr Sknn, we make use of the Lynton Lumina, a state-of-the-art Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL) - the same one that is employed by the NHS and private hospitals in the UK to safely and effectively manage Port Wine Stain on skin types I-IV. By emitting light in particular wavelength ranges, Dr Sknn targets absorption peaks in haemoglobin and oxy-haemoglobin, thereby enabling us to treat Port Wine Stain of various sizes and depths, while causing minimal damage to the surrounding skin. After the treatment, the damaged vessels are taken up by the body, leaving hardly any trace of the initial lesion.
Doctor Led Port Wine Stain Henbury - Benefits
At Dr Sknn, IPL is used to control light energy which is then absorbed by the Port Wine Stain, heating them until they spasm or collapse, thus sealing them off. Over the following weeks, the damaged vessels are naturally broken down by the body, meaning no sign of the prior blemish is visible.
Why Choose Dr Sknn for Port Wine Stain
At Dr Sknn, the consultation will include a medical history and physical exam, with photos taken. This is the ideal opportunity to voice any worries, expectations, results, or queries you may have. Additionally, before the Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment begins, you will be briefed on all the relevant post-treatment advice and associated risks, which you must fully understand and sign to agree to. Moreover, if it is a new area being treated, a patch test will be conducted to ensure it is suitable.
