Portwine Stain Near Me

At Dr Sknn we avail ourselves of the Lynton Lumina, a sophisticated Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL) utilised by the NHS and private hospitals all over the UK to treat Portwine Stain with safety and effectiveness on skin types I-IV. Through beaming light in exact wavelength ranges, we at Dr Sknn can pinpoint absorption peaks in haemoglobin and oxy-haemoglobin, thereby allowing us to address Portwine Stain of varying sizes and depths, while causing minimal damage to the encompassing skin. Subsequent to treatment, the affected vessels are absorbed by the body, leaving no or little reminder of the initial lesion.

Dr Sknn take advantage of light energy by using IPL, the light is taken in by the Portwine Stain, heating them to a point where they contract and/or collapse, thus forming a seal. Over the next few weeks, the damaged vessels will be absorbed by the body, leaving no trace of the original lesion.

At Dr Sknn, an in-depth medical history, a physical examination and pictures will be taken during the appointment. There will be a chance to chat through any worries, desired outcomes, answers or queries you may have. Before any procedure, all post-treatment advice and any associated risks with the Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy will be explained in great detail, and a form will be signed by you. Moreover, if the area being treated is new, a small patch test will be carried out to make sure it is suitable.
