Port Wine Staining Bucklow Hill

At Dr Sknn, we make use of the Lynton Lumina, a top-notch Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL) also employed by NHS centres and private hospitals across the UK, to efficiently and safely treat Port Wine Staining on skin types I-IV. By emitting light in a precise wavelength range, Dr Sknn are able to focus on absorption peaks in haemoglobin and oxy-haemoglobin, allowing us to tackle lesions of different sizes and at different depths, all with minimal effect on the encompassing skin. Following treatment, the affected vessels are assimilated by the body, leaving little or no indication of the original lesion.

At Dr Sknn, we take advantage of IPL to utilise light energy, this is taken up by the Port Wine Staining, causing them to become heated to a temperature where they contract and/or shut down, thereby sealing them. Over the subsequent weeks, the damaged vessels are naturally broken down by the body, leaving no or minimal trace of the original lesion.

At Dr Sknn, throughout the consultation an in-depth medical history including a physical exam will be done, with pictures taken. You are able to raise any concerns, objectives, results or queries. Ahead of the treatment any post-care counsel and likely risks associated with the treatment will be clarified so that you fully understand them, before agreeing to the treatment by signing a consent form. Also, if it is a new area being treated a tiny patch test with Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) will be executed to guarantee it is suitable for you.
