Port Wine Stain Near Me

At Dr Sknn, we utilise the Lynton Lumina, a state-of-the-art Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL) that is deployed by the NHS and private hospitals all over the UK for treating Port Wine Stain in a safe and effective manner on skin types I-IV. By giving out light in specific wavelength ranges, this system is created to target absorption peaks in haemoglobin and oxy-haemoglobin, which allows for the treatment of Port Wine Stain of different sizes and depths, while causing minimal harm to the surrounding skin. After the treatment, the damaged vessels are absorbed by the body and the initial lesion is hardly perceptible.

At Dr Sknn, IPL is employed to capitalise on light energy. The light is taken up by the Port Wine Stain, causing them to heat up to a point where they contract and/or collapse and become sealed. Over the succeeding weeks, the impaired vessels are naturally absorbed by the body, with virtually no trace of the initial lesion.

At Dr Sknn, an assessment involving a medical history, physical examination and photographs will be done during the consultation. It is a chance to address any concerns, expectations, results or questions. Before undergoing treatment, the post-treatment advice and risks connected to the Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) procedure will be explained, and a consent form needs to be signed. If it is a new area being treated, a patch test is done to ensure it is suitable.
