Port Wine Stain Old Trafford

At Dr Sknn, the Lynton Lumina, a state-of-the-art Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL), is used to securely and successfully treat Port Wine Stain on skin types I-IV, similar to that used by the NHS and private hospitals around the UK. By emitting light in certain wavelength ranges, we are able to target absorption peaks in haemoglobin and oxy-haemoglobin, making it feasible to treat Port Wine Stain at varying sizes and depths while causing minimal disruption to the nearby skin. Post treatment, the damaged vessels are absorbed by the body, with no trace of the original lesion left.

Making use of IPL at Dr Sknn, we can benefit from light energy, which is absorbed by the Port Wine Stain, causing them to heat up to a point that they contract and/or collapse and seal. Subsequently, the ruined vessels are naturally taken in by the body over the following weeks, leaving barely any sign of the primary lesion.

At Dr Sknn, during an intensive consultation a medical history with a physical examination and photographs will be taken. This is your chance to raise any worries, expectations, results, or queries you may have. Before undergoing any treatment, post-treatment instructions and any hazards linked with the Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) procedure will be disclosed ensuring you are completely aware of them, with a consent form needing to be signed. Moreover, if the area to be treated is new, a minor patch test is typically carried out to check that it is appropriate.
