Port Wine Staining Wardsend

At Dr Sknn, the Lynton Lumina is put to use, a sophisticated Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL) utilised by NHS centres and private hospitals across the UK to safely and effectively address Port Wine Staining on skin types I-IV. By sending out light in a specific wavelength range, the team at Dr Sknn focus on absorption peaks in haemoglobin and oxy-haemoglobin, enabling us to address lesions of various sizes and depths, all with minimal impact on the encompassing skin. Following treatment, the damaged vessels are assimilated by the body, leaving no or little trace of the original lesion.

At Dr Sknn, IPL is applied to make use of light energy, which is then taken up by the Port Wine Staining, heating them to the point that they spasm and/or collapse, in turn sealing them. In the following weeks, the damaged vessels are broken down naturally by the body, with little or no indication of the initial lesion remaining.

At Dr Sknn, throughout the consultation a thorough medical history including a physical exam will be performed, with photographs being taken. Any worries, objectives, results, or queries can be addressed at this time. Before the treatment any post-care guidance and potential risks of the treatment will be clarified so that you fully understand them, before agreeing to the treatment by signing a consent form. Besides that, if a new area is being treated a miniscule patch test with Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) will be implemented to make sure it is right for you.
