Port Wine Staining East Didsbury

At Dr Sknn, the Lynton Lumina, a sophisticated Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL) is employed to safely and efficiently treat Port Wine Staining on skin types I-IV. This apparatus is used by the NHS and private hospitals across the UK. By radiating light at precise wavelength ranges, we are able to target absorption peaks in haemoglobin and oxy-haemoglobin, permitting us to manage Port Wine Staining of multiple sizes and depths with limited damage to the neighbouring skin. Following the procedure, the damaged vessels are absorbed by the body and usually there is little to no evidence of the initial lesion.

At Dr Sknn, we use IPL to take advantage of light energy. The light is taken up by the Port Wine Staining, which then heat to a point where they spasm and/or shut down, forming a seal. During the following weeks, the injured vessels are reabsorbed by the body, leaving minimal or no evidence of the original lesion.

At Dr Sknn, all through the consultation an in-depth medical record and physical exam will be conducted, with photographs taken. During this time you will be able to raise any worries, aims, results or queries. Before the treatment any post-procedure guidance and potential risks associated with the treatment will be explained to make sure you comprehend them fully, before signing a consent form. As well as that, if a new area is being attended to a minor patch test with Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) will be undertaken to ensure it is suitable for you.
