Portwine Stain Cheadle Hulme

At Dr Sknn we make use of the Lynton Lumina, a state-of-the-art Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL) which is also utilised by the NHS and private hospitals in the UK for treating Portwine Stain safely and effectively on skin types I-IV. The system emits light in certain wavelength ranges, focusing on absorption peaks in haemoglobin and oxy-haemoglobin, allowing us to treat Portwine Stain of different sizes and depths, while causing minimal damage to the neighbouring skin. Following the treatment, the broken vessels are absorbed by the body, leaving little or no mark of the initial lesion.

At Dr Sknn we make use of IPL to take advantage of light energy. The light is ingested by the Portwine Stain, which become heated to a point of contraction and/or collapse and sealed. Over the upcoming weeks, the broken vessels are taken in by the body naturally so that practically no trace of the initial lesion remains.

When you go to Dr Sknn, a thorough medical history is taken and a physical examination is done, with photographs. You'll be able to chat with the doctor about any worries, desired effects, answers or questions during the consultation. Before the Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment is administered, all post-procedure guidance and any risks associated with the procedure will be clarified to ensure you fully comprehend them, and a consent form is signed. Also, if it's a new area being treated, a small patch test is conducted to check your suitability.
