Portwine Stain Alderley Edge

At Dr Sknn we make use of the Lynton Lumina, a cutting-edge Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL) used by the NHS and private hospitals across the UK to address Portwine Stain safely and effectively on skin types I-IV. Through shining light in certain wavelength ranges, we at Dr Sknn can target absorption peaks in haemoglobin and oxy-haemoglobin, thus enabling us to treat Portwine Stain at various sizes and depths, while causing negligible destruction to the surrounding skin. Following the treatment, the damaged vessels are taken in by the body and any evidence of the initial lesion is barely noticeable.

At Dr Sknn, IPL is used to utilise light energy. The light is absorbed by the Portwine Stain, heating them to a degree where they contract and/or collapse, forming a seal. Over the next few weeks, the damaged vessels will be naturally dissolved by the body, leaving no trace of the initial lesion.

At Dr Sknn, a comprehensive medical history, a physical examination and images will be taken during the appointment. There will be an opportunity to chat through any concerns, objectives, responses or queries you may have. Before any procedure, all after-treatment advice and any associated risks with the Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy will be gone over in great detail, and a form will be signed by you. In addition, a patch test will be done if the area being treated is novel, to guarantee it is suitable.
