Portwine Stain Birthmark Stockport

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. By radiating 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 at different sizes and depths while causing minimal damage to the surrounding skin. Following treatment, the damaged vessels are absorbed by the body and little or no trace of the initial lesion is left.

At Dr Sknn, taking advantage of IPL, light energy is utilised - the light is consumed by the Portwine Stain Birthmark, heating them to the point where they convulse and/or collapse and seal. In the successive weeks, the damaged vessels are naturally taken up by the body, so there is little or no sign of the primary marking.

At Dr Sknn, a medical chronicle including a bodily assessment will be done during the appointment, with photographs taken. During this session, there will be an opportunity to express any doubts, expectations, end results, or queries you may have. Before the Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment, any follow-up instructions and risks related to the process will be talked through, making sure you totally understand them, and a consent form is signed. On top of that, if it is an unfamiliar area to be treated a small sample patch will be undertaken to make sure it is suitable.
