Port Wine Stain Removal Altrincham

At Dr Sknn we make use of the Lynton Lumina, a high-grade Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL) also employed by the NHS and private hospitals throughout the UK, for the safe and effective handling of Port Wine Stain on skin types I-IV. By emitting light in a particular wavelength ranges at Dr Sknn, we can aim for absorption peaks in haemoglobin and oxy-haemoglobin, allowing us to treat Port Wine Stain at various sizes and depths, while causing minimal damage to the surrounding skin. Subsequent to treatment, the impaired vessels are absorbed by the body, leaving little or no indication of the original lesion.

At Dr Sknn, IPL is utilised to make use of light energy. The light is absorbed by the Port Wine Stain, which are heated until they contract or fail, thus sealing them. In the following weeks, the hurt vessels are broken down naturally, leaving barely any indication of the initial lesion.

At Dr Sknn, the consultation will include a thorough medical history and physical examination including images. During this appointment there is an opportunity to discuss any concerns, desires, potential outcomes, or queries you may have. Prior to the Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment all post-treatment advice and any potential risks associated with the treatment will be discussed in full and a consent form will be filled out. In addition, if new areas are being treated a small patch test will be done to verify suitability.
