Port Wine Stain Removal

At Dr Sknn we make use of the Lynton Lumina, a state-of-the-art Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL), which is also utilised by the NHS and private hospitals throughout the UK, to safely and effectively treat Port Wine Stain on skin types I-IV. By emitting light in certain wavelength ranges at Dr Sknn we target absorption peaks in haemoglobin and oxy-haemoglobin, allowing us to handle Port Wine Stain of various sizes and at different depths while causing minimal harm to the nearby skin. Subsequent to the treatment the damaged vessels are taken up by the body and almost no trace of the initial lesion is left.

At Dr Sknn, IPL is applied to use light energy; the light is taken up by the Port Wine Stain, warming them to a point where they contract or collapse and are sealed off. Over the coming weeks, the body absorbs the injured vessels naturally, with no sign of the original blemish.

At Dr Sknn, a medical history and physical assessment with pictures will be done during the consultation. This is also when any fears, objectives, results or queries can be expressed. Before the Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment, all post-treatment advice and associated risks will be outlined to ensure you comprehend them completely and a consent form is signed. Additionally, a tiny patch test will be completed when treating a new area to verify compatibility.
