Portwine Stain Hale Barns

At Dr Sknn, the Lynton Lumina is employed - a state-of-the-art Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL), which is also used by the NHS and private hospitals across the UK, to safely and effectively treat Portwine Stain on skin types I-IV. By beaming light in specific wavelength ranges, we at Dr Sknn are able to target absorption peaks in haemoglobin and oxy-haemoglobin, and thus being able to treat Portwine Stain of varying sizes and depths, whilst causing minimal damage to the neighbouring skin. After treatment, the ruined vessels are taken up by the body and generally no trace of the initial lesion is left.

At Dr Sknn, we make use of IPL to deploy light energy. This light is absorbed by the Portwine Stain, causing them to become too hot and constrict or break down. After a few weeks, the damaged vessels are taken in by the body, leaving behind hardly any indication of the original harm.

At Dr Sknn, the session will involve a medical history overview and physical examination, with photographs taken. This is your opportunity to share any concerns, expectations, results or questions. Before any Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) procedure, all post-treatment instruction and any hazards connected with the treatment must be examined and a consent form signed. Also, if it is a fresh area being treated, a minor spot test should be done to determine if it is suitable.
