Port Wine Stain Pott Shrigley

At Dr Sknn, we make use of the Lynton Lumina, a state-of-the-art Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL). This is a system used by the NHS and private hospitals across the UK to treat Port Wine Stain in a secure and effective fashion for skin types I-IV. The light emitted from the Lumina is in a certain 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 the treatment, the afflicted vessels are taken in by the body and hardly any trace of the initial lesion can be seen.

At Dr Sknn, light energy is put to use through the use of IPL, with the light being taken in by the Port Wine Stain, heating them to a degree that they contract and/or close down, staying sealed. Subsequently, the damaged vessels will be naturally taken in by the body, with little to no indication of the initial lesion left.

At Dr Sknn, a thorough consultation will include a medical history along with a physical examination and pictures. This is your time to express any doubts, expectations, results, or queries you may have. Before undergoing an Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment, all post-treatment advice and any related risks will be discussed to make sure you understand them and a consent form will be signed. Additionally, if it is a new area being treated, a minor patch test is typically conducted to make sure it is suitable.
