Port Wine Staining Salford

At Dr Sknn, the Lynton Lumina, a state-of-the-art Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL) is employed to safely and efficiently manage Port Wine Staining on skin types I-IV. This system is utilised by the NHS and private hospitals throughout the UK. By discharging light at distinct wavelength ranges, we are able to target absorption peaks in haemoglobin and oxy-haemoglobin, permitting us to treat Port Wine Staining of various sizes and depths while causing little damage to the neighbouring skin. Subsequent to the treatment, the affected vessels are reabsorbed by the body and there is usually little to no trace of the initial lesion.

At Dr Sknn, we take advantage of IPL to make use of light energy. The light is absorbed by the Port Wine Staining, which then heat up to a point where they go into spasm and/or close down, effectively sealing them. After a few weeks, the wounded vessels are assimilated by the body, leaving hardly any or no sign of the first injury.

At Dr Sknn, a thorough medical history analysis and physical assessment, plus snapshots, will be conducted during the consultation. It is also an excellent chance to chat about any concerns, expectations, results, or queries you may have. Prior to the Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment, all post-treatment advice and possible risks will be discussed to make sure you know them and a consent form will be signed. Moreover, if the area being treated is fresh, a patch test will be carried out to confirm it is suitable for you.
