Port Wine Stain Removal Withington

At Dr Sknn we employ the Lynton Lumina, a top-of-the-line Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL) widely used by the NHS and private hospitals in the UK to treat Port Wine Stain effectively and safely on skin types I-IV. By producing light at certain wavelength ranges, we are able to target absorption peaks in haemoglobin and oxy-haemoglobin, allowing us to treat Port Wine Stain of varying sizes and depths, while minimising harm to the nearby skin. After treatment, the damaged vessels are absorbed by the body, leaving little or no trace of the initial lesion.

At Dr Sknn, with IPL we make the most of light energy, which is taken in by the Port Wine Stain and heated to a certain point. This causes them to spasm and/or shut down, and are then sealed off. In the weeks to follow, the damaged vessels are naturally disposed of by the body, making it so that no trace of the original lesion remains.

At Dr Sknn, a health assessment including a physical check-up along with photographs will be completed during the appointment. During the rendezvous, any of your concerns, aims, results or questions can be discussed. Ahead of the treatment, any post-treatment advice and potential risks associated with the procedure will be clarified to make sure you understand them fully, and a consent form will be signed. What's more, if it is an unfamiliar area being treated, a tiny Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) patch test will be done to guarantee appropriateness.
