Portwine Stain Birthmark Woodley

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 across the UK, to treat Portwine Stain Birthmark safely and effectively on skin types I-IV. By emitting light at particular wavelength ranges at Dr Sknn, we can target absorption peaks in haemoglobin and oxy-haemoglobin, permitting us to treat Portwine Stain Birthmark at various sizes and at different depths while causing minimal damage to the surrounding skin. After treatment the damaged vessels are taken in by the body and no trace of the original lesion remains.

To make use of light energy, Dr Sknn utilises IPL; the light is taken up by the Portwine Stain Birthmark, and heats them to a point where they spasm and/or collapse, thus sealing them. In the subsequent weeks, the weakened vessels are naturally broken down by the body, so that scarcely any evidence of the original blemish is visible.

At Dr Sknn, during the consultation a medical history, physical examination and photos are taken. During the consultation there is the chance to bring up any anxieties, expectations, results or any queries you have. Before the treatment any post-treatment guidance and the potential issues connected to it will be discussed ensuring you comprehend them completely and a consent form is signed. Similarly, if it is a new area being treated a minor patch test will be done to make sure it is suitable for Intense Pulsed Light (IPL).
