Port Wine Staining Manchester

At Dr Sknn, the Lynton Lumina, a cutting-edge Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL), is utilised to treat Port Wine Staining on skin types I-IV. This same technology is also used by the NHS and private hospitals in the UK. By producing light in specific wavelength ranges, the Lynton Lumina at Dr Sknn permits us to target the absorption peaks in haemoglobin and oxy-haemoglobin, enabling us to treat Port Wine Staining of various sizes and depths while causing minimal damage to the surrounding skin. After the treatment, the damaged vessels are assimilated by the body, leaving minimal or no trace of the initial lesion.

At Dr Sknn, IPL is utilised to take advantage of light energy, which is taken in by the Port Wine Staining, heating them to the point of contraction and/or closure, thereby sealing them. Over the coming weeks, the impaired vessels are naturally consumed by the body, leaving hardly any record of the original lesion.

At Dr Sknn, a comprehensive medical history and physical examination including taking of photographs will be done during the consultation. patients will have the opportunity to express their apprehensions, expectations, desired results, or queries they may have. All the post-treatment advice and potential risks of the treatment to be conducted using Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) will be discussed beforehand and a consent form will be signed accordingly. Moreover, if there is a new area to be treated a patch test using IPL shall be done to guarantee that the patient is compatible with the treatment.
