Portwine Stain Manchester

At Dr Sknn we make use of the Lynton Lumina, a state-of-the-art Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL) which is also employed by the NHS and private hospitals across the UK to treat Portwine Stain safely and effectively on skin types I-IV. The apparatus emits light in specific wavelength ranges, targeting absorption peaks in haemoglobin and oxy-haemoglobin, allowing us to treat Portwine Stain of various sizes and depths, while causing minimal injury to the nearby skin. After the treatment, the broken vessels are absorbed by the body and there is rarely any sign of the initial lesion.

At Dr Sknn, with the aid of IPL, we take advantage of light energy. The light is taken in by the Portwine Stain, which heat to a point of contraction and/or break down and soon after sealed. Over the upcoming weeks, the ruined vessels are absorbed by the body naturally so that hardly any trace of the original lesion is left.

At Dr Sknn, when you visit, a full medical history is taken and a physical exam is done, with photographs taken. You will also have the opportunity to discuss any concerns, expectations, responses or queries you may have during the consultation. Before the Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment is carried out, all post-treatment advice and any hazards associated with the procedure will be clarified to ensure you fully comprehend them, and a consent form is signed. Furthermore, a small patch test will be done if it is a new area being treated to make sure it is suitable.
