Portwine Stain Chelford

At Dr Sknn we make use of the Lynton Lumina, a cutting-edge Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL) used by both NHS and private healthcare establishments across the UK to manage Portwine Stain with safety and efficiency on skin types I-IV. Through shining light in precise wavelength ranges, we at Dr Sknn can target absorption peaks in haemoglobin and oxy-haemoglobin, thus permitting us to treat Portwine Stain of different sizes and depths, while causing negligible harm to the encompassing skin. Following the treatment, the damaged vessels are taken in by the body, leaving no or little indication of the initial lesion.

At Dr Sknn, we use Intense Pulsed Light to utilise light energy. This light is taken up by the Portwine Stain, causing them to heat to a point where they contract and/or break down, thus forming a seal. Over the following weeks, the injured vessels will be naturally dissolved by the body, leaving no trace of the initial lesion.

At Dr Sknn, a comprehensive medical history, a physical examination and photographs will be taken during the consultation. You will have the opportunity to voice any anxieties, expectations, replies or questions that you may have. Prior to any treatment, the potential risks and any post-treatment advice linked to the Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy will be discussed in full and a consent form will be signed. Additionally, a patch test will be done if the area being treated is new, to ensure it is suitable.
