Portwine Stain Henbury

At Dr Sknn, we use the Lynton Lumina - a sophisticated Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL) also employed by the NHS and private hospitals across the UK, to treat Portwine Stain safely and effectively on skin types I-IV. By radiating light in a particular wavelength ranges, we at Dr Sknn are able to target absorption peaks in haemoglobin and oxy-haemoglobin, thus enabling us to treat Portwine Stain of various sizes and depths, while causing minimal harm to the surrounding skin. Following treatment, the damaged vessels are absorbed by the body and generally little or no sign of the original lesion remains.

On utilising IPL at Dr Sknn, we make use of light energy. This energy is taken in by the Portwine Stain, which become overheated and contract or shut down. After some time, the impaired vessels are taken in by the body, leaving hardly any sign of the original injury.

At Dr Sknn, throughout the consultation a medical history including a physical examination will be performed and pictures taken. During the consultation there will be an option to raise any anxieties, expectations, results, or queries you may have. In advance of the Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment, any post treatment advice and potential risks associated with the treatment should be discussed to ensure you have a thorough comprehension of them and a consent form is signed. Additionally, if it is a new location being treated a small patch test should be conducted to check appropriateness.
