At Dr Sknn we make use of the Lynton Lumina - a modern Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL), which is also used by the NHS and private hospitals across the UK, to safely and proficiently treat Portwine Stain on skin types I-IV. By radiating light in particular wavelength ranges, we at Dr Sknn are able to focus on absorption peaks in haemoglobin and oxy-haemoglobin, thus being able to treat Portwine Stain at different sizes and depths while keeping damage to the nearby skin to the absolute minimum. Following treatment, the destroyed vessels are taken up by the body and there is scarcely any trace of the initial lesion.
Doctor Led Portwine Stain Astle - Benefits
At Dr Sknn, IPL is implemented to take advantage of light energy, the light being absorbed by the Portwine Stain which are then heated to a temperature causing them to go into contraction and/or shut down. Over time, the destroyed vessels are naturally taken in by the body, with little or no evidence of the original injury remaining.
