Portwine Stain Birthmark Wythenshawe

At Dr Sknn we utilise the Lynton Lumina, a state-of-the-art Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL), which is widely used in NHS and private hospitals throughout the UK, to safely and effectively treat Portwine Stain Birthmark on skin types I-IV. With its light emission in specific wavelength ranges, we at Dr Sknn can target absorption peaks in haemoglobin and oxy-haemoglobin, allowing us to treat Portwine Stain Birthmark of varying sizes and depths, with minimum damage to the surrounding skin. After treatment, the damaged vessels are processed by the body, leaving little or no trace of the initial lesion.

To utilise light energy, Dr Sknn makes use of IPL; the light is sopped up by the Portwine Stain Birthmark, heating them to a point where they spasm and/or collapse, thus locking them. Over the succeeding weeks, the weakened vessels are naturally assimilated by the body and scarcely any indication of the original mark is left.

At Dr Sknn, during the appointment a medical background including a physical examination will be carried out with pictures taken. During the consultation any anxieties, expectations, outcomes, or queries can be raised. Before the treatment any post-treatment advice and the risks connected to the Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment will be gone through thoroughly, with a permission form to be signed. In addition, a minor patch test will be conducted if it is a fresh area being treated to make sure it is suitable.
