Port Wine Staining

At Dr Sknn, we use the Lynton Lumina, a revolutionary Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL) that is employed by both the NHS and private hospitals all over the UK, to treat Port Wine Staining with safety and effectiveness on skin types I-IV. The light emitted by the system is modulated to a particular wavelength range which targets absorption peaks in haemoglobin and oxy-haemoglobin, allowing us to treat diverse Port Wine Staining of different sizes and depths with minimal damage to the neighbouring skin. Once the treatment is complete, the affected vessels are taken up by the body, leaving no indication of the initial lesion.

At Dr Sknn, we make use of IPL to exploit light energy, the light enters the Port Wine Staining and is heated to a level whereby they tense up and/or collapse and are blocked. Over the coming weeks, the damaged vessels are naturally reabsorbed by the body, leaving barely any evidence of the original lesion.

At Dr Sknn, during the consultation a medical chronicle, as well as a physical examination and photographs, will be conducted. You will have a chance to bring up any worries, expectations, outcomes, or queries you might have. Before the treatment, any post-treatment counsel and potential dangers related to the treatment will be discussed to make sure that you entirely comprehend them and a consent document is signed. Additionally, if a new area is being worked on, a small Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) patch test will be done to check its suitability.
