Portwine Stain Birthmark Lymm

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

At Dr Sknn, we make use of IPL to exploit light energy; the light is sopped up by the Portwine Stain Birthmark which are heated to a point where they contract and/or collapse, thus sealing them. In the following weeks, the impaired vessels are assimilated by the body, so that barely any trace of the original blemish is left behind.

At Dr Sknn, during the conversation a medical history, physical examination and photos will be conducted. During the conversation you will have the chance to bring up any anxieties, expectations, results or queries you have. Before the treatment any post-treatment advice and the potential risks involved with it will be gone over so you can be sure you fully understand them and a consent form is signed. In addition, if it is a new area being treated a slight patch test will be done to ascertain if it is suitable for Intense Pulsed Light (IPL).
