Portwine Stain Over Alderley

At Dr Sknn we take advantage of the Lynton Lumina, a state-of-the-art Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL), which is also used by the NHS and private hospitals throughout the UK, to treat Portwine Stain in a secure and effective way for skin types I-IV. By releasing light in a particular wavelength ranges at Dr Sknn we target absorption peaks in haemoglobin and oxy-haemoglobin permitting us to treat Portwine Stain of various sizes and depths while causing minimal damage to the surrounding skin. After the treatment the injured vessels are assimilated by the body and hardly any trace of the original lesion is left.

At Dr Sknn, we use IPL to make use of light energy, which is then taken up by the Portwine Stain, heating them to the point that they start to spasm and/or shut down, thus creating a seal. Afterwards, in the course of a few weeks, the broken vessels are naturally assimilated by the body, leaving no trace of the initial lesion.

At Dr Sknn, a thorough consultation is undertaken, including a medical history, physical examination and photography. This is also a suitable time to enquire about any apprehensions, expectations, results or queries you have. Before the procedure, all information regarding the Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment, as well as potential risks associated with the treatment will be communicated to you, so you are aware of the implications. In addition, a patch test may be administered if the area being treated is new.
