Portwine Stain Stretford

At Dr Sknn we make use of the Lynton Lumina, a sophisticated Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL) which is also used by the NHS and private hospitals all over the UK for the secure and successful treatment of Portwine Stain on skin types I-IV. By emitting light in specific wavelength ranges, the absorption peaks of haemoglobin and oxy-haemoglobin can be targeted. This allows for the treatment of Portwine Stain of different sizes and depths without doing too much harm to the near skin. Afterwards, the affected vessels are absorbed by the body, leaving no trace of the lesion.

IPL is employed by Dr Sknn to take advantage of the power of light energy. This light is then taken in by the Portwine Stain, heating them to the point of spasming and/or collapsing, thus blocking them off. In the following weeks, the damaged vessels are then naturally absorbed by the body, leaving no sign of the original lesion.

At Dr Sknn, during the appointment, a medical past and physical examination which comprises of photos will be accomplished. During the consultation, there will be an opening to go over any issues, expectations, results, or questions you may have. Before the procedure, any subsequent advice and risks linked with the treatment will be gone over to ensure that you fully comprehend them and an agreement form will be signed. In addition, if it is a new area being treated a minor Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) experiment will be undertaken to ensure it is appropriate.
