Port Wine Staining Somerford

At Dr Sknn, we make use of the Lynton Lumina, a pre-eminent Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL) utilised by the NHS and private hospitals in the UK, to treat Port Wine Staining securely and effectively on skin types I-IV. By discharging light in particular wavelength ranges, Dr Sknn is able to target absorption peaks in haemoglobin and oxy-haemoglobin, permitting the treatment of Port Wine Staining of different sizes and depths while producing minimal detriment to the nearby skin. Following treatment, the damaged vessels are taken in by the body and hardly any trace of the initial lesion will be evident.

At Dr Sknn, we take advantage of IPL to make the most of light energy, which is absorbed by the Port Wine Staining and heats them to a point where they contract or collapse, sealing them off. The damaged vessels are then cleared away naturally by the body in the subsequent weeks, leaving very little trace of the original lesion.

At Dr Sknn, a medical history review, physical assessment and photography will occur during the appointment. You will be presented with the chance to go over any concerns, wishes, results, or questions you may have. Before the Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) process, any post treatment instructions and potential risks associated with the treatment will be discussed entirely so that you understand them and a consent form will be signed. Furthermore, if it is a novel area being treated, a slight patch test will be conducted to guarantee suitability.
