Port Wine Stain Monks Heath

At Dr Sknn, we make use of the Lynton Lumina, a advanced Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL) which is also used by NHS and private hospitals throughout the UK to treat Port Wine Stain in a risk free and effective manner on skin types I-IV. By discharging light at a particular wavelength range, at Dr Sknn we can target absorption peaks in haemoglobin and oxy-haemoglobin, thus permitting us to treat Port Wine Stain of various sizes and depths while causing insignificant harm to the surrounding skin. Upon treatment, the faulty vessels will be taken in by the body and practically no hint of the original lesion will be left.

By employing IPL at Dr Sknn, the light energy is taken up by the Port Wine Stain, sufficiently heating them to cause spasm or collapse, and then, in the weeks to follow, the damaged vessels are reabsorbed by the body, leaving no trace of the original lesion.

At Dr Sknn, a comprehensive consultation is conducted which comprises of both a physical exam and taking photographs. During the session, any fears, anticipations, outcomes or queries you may have will be addressed. Before undergoing the Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment, all post-care guidance and risks in association with the procedure are fully outlined and a consent form is signed. Additionally, if an untested area is being treated a minor patch test is implemented to determine its viability.
