Portwine Stain Birthmark Poynton

At Dr Sknn, the Lynton Lumina, a leading-edge Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL) also used by the NHS and private hospitals around the UK, is employed to treat Portwine Stain Birthmark safely and effectively on skin types I-IV. By emitting light of particular wavelength ranges, we are able to target absorption peaks in haemoglobin and oxy-haemoglobin, which allows us to treat Portwine Stain Birthmark of various sizes and depths, with minimal damage to the neighbouring skin. The damaged vessels are taken care of by the body after the treatment, leaving no trace of the initial lesion.

At Dr Sknn, we employ IPL to make use of the light energy, which is then taken in by the Portwine Stain Birthmark, heating them to a point where they contract and/or shrink, thus sealing them off. Over the next few weeks, the broken vessels will be taken in by the body, leaving little or no indication of the original lesion.

At Dr Sknn, a full medical history, physical assessment and images will be taken during the consultation. Here, you can freely raise any apprehensions, expectations, results, or questions you may have about the Intense Pulsed Light (IPL). Beforehand, all the risks and post-treatment advice will be talked through and you will be required to sign a consent form. As an extra precaution, a patch test will be carried out on any new areas being treated.
