Port Wine Staining Liverpool

Dr Sknn deploys the Lynton Lumina, a state-of-the-art Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL), which is also employed by the NHS and private hospitals across the UK, to treat Port Wine Staining safely and effectively on skin types I-IV. At Dr Sknn, the light emitted by the Lynton Lumina at certain wavelength ranges enables us to target the absorption peaks of haemoglobin and oxy-haemoglobin, thus allowing us to treat Port Wine Staining of different sizes and at different depths while causing no or minimal harm to the neighbouring skin. After the treatment, the damaged vessels are absorbed by the body, leaving little or no trace of the initial lesion.

Through Dr Sknn, IPL is employed to bring about light energy, this light is taken in by the Port Wine Staining, causing them to heat up to the point of spasm and/or closure, sealing them. With the passage of time, the damaged vessels are consumed by the body, leaving little to no indication of the unique lesion.

At Dr Sknn, a full medical history and physical examination which includes taking pictures is accomplished during the consultation. patients can speak up their worries, anticipations, outcomes they would like to achieve, or any questions they may have. All the post-treatment advice and associated risks of the Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment are discussed prior to the treatment and a consent form is required to be signed. Furthermore, if new areas are being treated, then a patch test with IPL is carried out to make sure the patient is suitable for the treatment.
