Portwine Stain Hindley

At Dr Sknn, we make use of the Lynton Lumina, a revolutionary Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL) that is used by the NHS and private hospitals throughout the UK, to treat Portwine Stain with safety and efficiency on skin types I-IV. By emitting light of a particular frequency range, we target absorption peaks in haemoglobin and oxy-haemoglobin which allows us to treat diverse Portwine Stain of diverse sizes and depths while causing minimal damage to the adjacent skin. Following the procedure, the damaged vessels are absorbed by the body, leaving no trace of the initial lesion.

At Dr Sknn, we employ IPL to utilise light energy, with the light being taken in by the Portwine Stain and then heated to the point they spasm and/or shut down and are sealed. Throughout the following weeks, the damaged vessels are gradually taken up by the body, leaving scarcely any trace of the original blemish.

At Dr Sknn, during the consultation, a medical biography, as well as a physical examination and photographs, will be done. You have the opportunity to raise any concerns, expectations, results, or queries you may have. Before the treatment, any post-treatment guidance and risks associated with the treatment are discussed to make sure that you understand them fully and a consent form is signed. In addition, if a new area is being worked on, a small Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) patch test will be conducted to establish its suitability.
