Portwine Stain

Dr Sknn utilises the advanced Lynton Lumina Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL), which is employed by NHS and private hospitals across the UK to treat Portwine Stain on skin types I-IV safely and effectively. By transmitting light at distinct wavelength ranges, we can focus on absorption peaks in haemoglobin and oxy-haemoglobin at Dr Sknn, enabling us to treat Portwine Stain at different sizes and depths while minimising damage to the surrounding skin. After the treatment, the impaired vessels are absorbed by the body and little or no trace of the initial lesion remains.

At Dr Sknn, IPL is employed to exploit light energy, the energy is taken up by the Portwine Stain, causing them to become excessively hot, causing them to contract and/or collapse, sealing them off. In the weeks to follow, the damaged vessels are gradually absorbed by the body, leaving hardly any sign of the initial mark.

At Dr Sknn, a thorough medical history and physical examination including photographs will be taken prior to any Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment. This is the time to raise any questions, expectations, results, or concerns that you may have. Prior to the treatment, any potential risks and post-treatment advice should be discussed, and a consent form must be signed by both parties. Moreover, if it is a new area being treated, a patch test may be performed to guarantee suitability.
