Portwine Stain Marple

At Dr Sknn we utilise the Lynton Lumina, a sophisticated Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL) which is also adopted by the National Health Service and private hospitals in the UK to safely and effectively treat Portwine Stain on skin types I-IV. The system emits light in certain wavelength ranges, focusing on absorption peaks in haemoglobin and oxy-haemoglobin, allowing us to treat Portwine Stain of different sizes and depths, while inflicting minimal damage to the nearby skin. Subsequent to the procedure, the damaged vessels are taken in by the body and there is usually no indication of the primary lesion.

At Dr Sknn, by employing IPL, we make use of light energy. The light is taken in by the Portwine Stain, which become heated to a point of contraction and/or collapse, and soon after sealed. In the subsequent weeks, the broken vessels are assimilated by the body in a natural way so that almost no trace of the original lesion is visible.

At Dr Sknn, when you attend, a detailed medical history is taken and a physical examination is conducted, along with photographs. You'll be able to chat with the doctor about any worries, desired outcomes, answers or questions during the consultation. Before the Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment is administered, all post-procedure advice and any risks associated with the procedure will be clarified to make sure you fully comprehend them, and a consent form is signed. Additionally, if it's a new area being treated, a small patch test is done to check your suitability.
