Portwine Stain Romiley

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 throughout the UK, to safely and effectively handle Portwine Stain on skin types I-IV. By emitting light in particular wavelength ranges, we are able to zero in on absorption peaks in haemoglobin and oxy-haemoglobin, allowing us to treat Portwine Stain of various sizes and depths while causing minimal damage to the surrounding skin. Subsequent to treatment, the damaged vessels are absorbed by the body, leaving very little or no indication of the initial lesion.

At Dr Sknn, IPL is used to harness light energy, with the radiation being absorbed by the Portwine Stain which then heat up to a certain degree in order to cause them to go into contraction and/or shut down. Subsequently, the destroyed vessels are naturally reabsorbed by the body, leaving little or no evidence of the original scar.

At Dr Sknn, during the examination a health record including a physical investigation will be enacted including pictures. Throughout the consultation there will be a chance to argue any fears, ambitions, consequences, or inquiries you may have. Beforehand to the treatment any post-treatment advice and risks related to the treatment will be discussed to make sure you totally interpret them and a permission form is signed. Additionally, if it is a new region being treated a petty patch test will be accomplished to ensure appropriateness with Intense Pulsed Light (IPL).
