Port Wine Staining SK9

At Dr Sknn, the Lynton Lumina, a superior Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL) employed by the NHS and private hospitals across the UK, is used to treat Port Wine Staining on skin types I-IV in a secure and efficient manner. By emitting light at certain wavelength ranges, we are able to target absorption peaks in haemoglobin and oxy-haemoglobin, thus allowing us to address Port Wine Staining of a range of sizes and depths without causing significant damage to the surrounding skin. Following the procedure, the damaged vessels are absorbed by the body, leaving almost no trace of the original lesion.

At Dr Sknn, we utilise IPL and its light energy to warm the Port Wine Staining to the point of contraction and/or collapse, thus sealing them. In the following weeks, the damaged vessels are naturally absorbed by the body, with no trace of the original lesion remaining.

At Dr Sknn, a full medical history and physical examination will be conducted, including the taking of photographs. patients will have the opportunity to express any concerns, expectations, desired outcomes, or queries they may have. All the post-treatment advice and potential risks involved with the use of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) will be discussed before the treatment and a consent form must be signed. Furthermore, a small patch test using IPL shall be done if there is a new area being treated to make sure the patient is suitable for the treatment.
