Port Wine Staining Didsbury

At Dr Sknn, we use the Lynton Lumina, a state-of-the-art Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL) to treat Port Wine Staining safely and effectively on skin types I-IV. This system is utilised by the NHS and private hospitals throughout the UK. By emitting light in specific wavelength ranges, we can target absorption peaks in haemoglobin and oxy-haemoglobin, allowing us to treat Port Wine Staining of varying sizes and depths while causing minimal harm to the nearby skin. Subsequent to the treatment, the affected vessels are assimilated by the body and little or no trace of the initial lesion remains.

At Dr Sknn, we employ IPL to utilise light energy. This light is taken in by the veins, which then heat up to the extent that they constrict and/or close down, thus forming a seal. In the coming weeks, the harmed vessels are naturally assimilated by the body, leaving little or no indication of the original lesion.

At Dr Sknn, throughout the appointment an exhaustive medical history including a physical assessment will be completed, accompanied by photographs. Any worries, hopes, results, or queries can be talked through at this time. Ahead of the treatment, any post-care counsel and possible risks of the treatment will be elucidated, so you can be assured you appreciate them, before agreeing to the treatment via signing a consent form. Besides that, if it is a new area that is being treated a tiny patch test using Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) will be administered to ensure it is right for you.
