Portwine Stain Knutsford

At Dr Sknn, we make use of the Lynton Lumina, a revolutionary Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL) which is utilised by both the NHS and private hospitals all over the UK, to treat Portwine Stain safely and efficiently on skin types I-IV. The light emitted by the machine is tuned to a specific frequency range that targets absorption peaks in haemoglobin and oxy-haemoglobin, allowing us to treat Portwine Stain of different sizes and depths with minimal damage to the nearby skin. After the procedure, the affected vessels are reabsorbed by the body and there is little to no indication of the initial lesion.

At Dr Sknn, we employ IPL to make use of light energy, the light is taken up by the Portwine Stain and then heated to the level they spasm and/or shut down and are sealed. During the subsequent weeks, the compromised vessels are gradually taken in by the body, leaving hardly any trace of the first blemish.

At Dr Sknn, during the consultation a medical biopic including a physical examination and photographs will be done. You will have an opportunity to discuss any worries, expectations, results, or questions you may have. Prior to the treatment any post treatment advice and risks associated with the treatment are explained to make sure that you understand them fully and a consent form is signed. Furthermore, if it is a new area being treated a small Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) patch test will be conducted in order to confirm its suitability.
