Port Wine Staining Near Me

At Dr Sknn, the Lynton Lumina, a state-of-the-art Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL) implemented by the NHS and private hospitals across the UK, is used to safely and effectively treat Port Wine Staining on skin types I-IV. By beaming light in particular wavelength ranges, we are able to target absorption peaks in haemoglobin and oxy-haemoglobin, thereby enabling us to treat Port Wine Staining of different sizes and depths while causing minimal harm to the neighbouring skin. Subsequent to treatment, the injured vessels are taken up by the body and not much sign of the initial lesion is left behind.

At Dr Sknn, by using IPL, we take advantage of light energy to heat the Port Wine Staining, causing them to contract and/or collapse, thereby sealing them. In the upcoming weeks, the impaired vessels will be naturally absorbed by the body, leaving no sign of the initial lesion.

When visiting Dr Sknn, a thorough medical history and physical examination are accomplished, along with taking photographs. Guests will be given the chance to express their worries, anticipations, results they would like to reach, or any inquiries they may have. All the post-treatment guidance and associated risks of the Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment are discussed beforehand and a consent form is required to be signed. Also, if there is a new area to be treated, a patch test through IPL is done to guarantee the patient's compatibility with the treatment.
