Portwine Stain Little Bollington

At Dr Sknn we employ the Lynton Lumina, a pioneering Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL), which is also used by the NHS and private hospitals across the UK for treating Portwine Stain safely and effectively on skin types I-IV. By sending out light in a particular wavelength range, we target absorption peaks in haemoglobin and oxy-haemoglobin, making it possible to treat Portwine Stain of different sizes and depths while causing minimal harm to the nearby skin. Following the treatment, the damaged vessels are absorbed by the body and the initial lesion is almost unnoticeable.

At Dr Sknn, we make use of light energy with IPL to target the Portwine Stain, which are heated to the point of contraction and/or collapse, before being blocked off. Over the subsequent weeks, these vessels are then naturally broken down by the body, leaving little to no hint of the original blemish.

At Dr Sknn, during the check-up a medical annals including a physical study will be enacted including pictures. Throughout the consultation there will be an opening to argue any apprehensions, anticipations, consequences, or queries you may have. Beforehand to the treatment any post-treatment advice and risks related to the treatment will be discussed guaranteeing you totally understand them and a consent form is signed. Moreover, if it is a new area being treated a insignificant patch test will be accomplished to make sure appropriateness with Intense Pulsed Light (IPL).
