Portwine Stain Birthmark Bredbury

At Dr Sknn we make use of the Lynton Lumina, a high-tech Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL), which is also used by the NHS and private hospitals throughout the UK, to safely and effectively treat Portwine Stain Birthmark on skin types I-IV. By releasing light in specific wavelength ranges at Dr Sknn, we can target absorption peaks in haemoglobin and oxy-haemoglobin, enabling us to treat Portwine Stain Birthmark of various sizes and depths while causing minimal damage to the surrounding skin. Subsequent to treatment the damaged vessels are absorbed by the body leaving little or no trace of the initial lesion.

Through IPL, Dr Sknn taps into light energy; the light is taken in by the Portwine Stain Birthmark, heating them to the point where they constrict and/or collapse, thus blocking them. Over the subsequent weeks, the impaired vessels are absorbed by the body, meaning that little or no trace of the original mark is seen.

At Dr Sknn, during the converse a medical history, physical examination and snapshots are taken. During the converse there will be the opportunity to express any worries, expectations, results or any questions you may have. Prior to the treatment any post-treatment advice and the risks related to it will be elucidated making sure you know them fully and a consent form is signed. Moreover, if it is a fresh area being treated a tiny patch test will be done to determine if it is suitable for Intense Pulsed Light (IPL).
