Portwine Stain Birthmark Chester

At Dr Sknn, we employ the Lynton Lumina; a state-of-the-art Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL) that is utilised by the NHS and private hospitals across the UK, to treat Portwine Stain Birthmark on skin types I-IV safely and effectively. Through its emission of light in specific wavelength ranges, at Dr Sknn we can target absorption peaks in haemoglobin and oxy-haemoglobin, permitting us to treat Portwine Stain Birthmark of varying sizes and depths while causing limited damage to the surrounding skin. After treatment, the damaged vessels are processed by the body, leaving no trace or a very slight indication of the initial lesion.

At Dr Sknn we're utilising IPL to channel light energy; the light is then taken in by the Portwine Stain Birthmark, which get heated up until they contract or collapse, providing a seal. After a few weeks, the damaged vessels are naturally reabsorbed by the body, leaving hardly any sign of the original mark.

At Dr Sknn, during the appointment a medical history including a physical examination will be completed with images taken. During the consultation any worries, hopes, outcomes, or queries can be raised. Prior to the treatment any post-treatment advice and the dangers associated with the Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment are discussed in full, with a consent form to be signed. Furthermore, if it is a new area being worked on, a minor patch test will be carried out to ensure suitability.
