Port Wine Stain Lymm

At Dr Sknn, we employ the Lynton Lumina, a cutting-edge Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL). This is a system utilised by the NHS and private hospitals throughout the UK to treat Port Wine Stain in a safe and effective way for skin types I-IV. The light emitted from the Lumina is in a specific wavelength range, which allows us to target the absorption peaks in haemoglobin and oxy-haemoglobin. This makes it possible for us to treat Port Wine Stain of different sizes and depths with minimal harm to the surrounding skin. After treatment, the affected vessels are taken in by the body and the initial lesion is virtually undetectable.

At Dr Sknn, IPL is employed to call forth light energy, which is absorbed by the Port Wine Stain, heating them to the point that they go into spasm and/or collapse and are sealed. After a few weeks, the damaged vessels are naturally taken in by the body, leaving hardly any trace of the initial lesion.

At Dr Sknn, during a comprehensive consultation a medical history including a physical examination and pictures will be taken. This provides you with the opportunity to bring up any fears, expectations, results, or queries you may have. Before the Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment, all post-treatment instructions and any risks linked with the procedure will be discussed to make sure you understand them, and a consent form will be signed. Moreover, if the area being treated is new, then a tiny patch test is generally conducted to establish that it is suitable.
