Portwine Stain Birthmark Little Bollington

At Dr Sknn we employ the Lynton Lumina, a state-of-the-art Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL), which is also utilised by the NHS and private hospitals throughout the UK, to safely and effectively treat Portwine Stain Birthmark on skin types I-IV. By emitting light in certain wavelength ranges at Dr Sknn, we can target absorption peaks in haemoglobin and oxy-haemoglobin, enabling us to treat Portwine Stain Birthmark of different sizes and depths while causing minimal damage to the surrounding skin. Upon treatment the damaged vessels are taken in by the body and little or no trace of the original lesion remains.

Dr Sknn uses IPL to draw on light energy; when it's taken in by the Portwine Stain Birthmark, the heat causes them to constrict and/or collapse, therefore blocking them. Over the following weeks, the impaired vessels are broken down by the body and little or no evidence of the original lesion is visible.

At Dr Sknn, during the talk a medical history, physical examination and photographs are taken. During the talk you will have the possibility to state any worries, expectations, results or any questions you may have. Before the treatment any post-treatment guidance and the threats related to it will be discussed making sure you realise them completely and a consent form is signed. Furthermore, if it is a new area being treated a tiny patch test will be done to make sure it is appropriate for Intense Pulsed Light (IPL).
