Portwine Stain Birthmark Cheshire

At Dr Sknn we employ the Lynton Lumina, a state-of-the-art Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL) which is similarly utilised by the NHS and private hospitals over the UK, to treat Portwine Stain Birthmark safely and effectively on skin types I-IV. Through emitting light in particular wavelength ranges at Dr Sknn, we can aim at absorption peaks in haemoglobin and oxy-haemoglobin, thereby allowing us to treat Portwine Stain Birthmark at different sizes and depths while causing minimal damage to the surrounding skin. After treatment, the damaged vessels are absorbed by the body and little or no trace of the initial lesion is left.

At Dr Sknn, IPL is employed to make use of light energy - the light is taken up by the Portwine Stain Birthmark, heating them to the point where they convulse and/or collapse and seal. In the next weeks, the damaged vessels are reabsorbed by the body, so there is little or no sign of the original lesion.

At Dr Sknn, a comprehensive medical history and physical examination will be carried out, including taking photographs, during the consultation. That is the opportunity to voice any apprehensions, anticipations, results, or questions you may have. Ahead of the treatment, the potential risks of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and post-treatment advice will be gone over to ensure that you understand them and that a consent form is signed. Additionally, if it is a new area, a small patch test will be conducted to ascertain its suitability.
