Portwine Stain East Cheshire

At Dr Sknn we make use of the Lynton Lumina, a state-of-the-art Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL) employed 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 pinpoint absorption peaks in haemoglobin and oxy-haemoglobin, thereby enabling us to address Portwine Stain of different sizes and depths, while causing limited damage to the encompassing skin. After treatment, the affected vessels are taken in by the body, leaving no or little trace of the initial lesion.

At Dr Sknn, IPL is used to take advantage of light energy. This light is taken in by the Portwine Stain, causing them to heat to a point where they shrink and/or break down, thus sealing them. Over time, the broken vessels will be taken away by the body, leaving no sign of the original lesion.

At Dr Sknn, when you visit, a full medical history is taken and a physical exam is performed, along with photographs. You'll be able to discuss any apprehensions, aims, responses or questions you may have during the consultation. Prior to the Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment, the aftercare advice and any hazards associated with the treatment will be explained in full to ensure you completely understand them, and a consent form is signed. Furthermore, a small patch test will be done if it is a new area being treated to check your suitability.
