Portwine Stain Warford

At Dr Sknn, the Lynton Lumina is utilised - a modern Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL) also employed by the NHS and private hospitals across the UK, to safely and effectively treat Portwine Stain on skin types I-IV. By beaming light in a particular wavelength ranges, we at Dr Sknn are able to focus on absorption peaks in haemoglobin and oxy-haemoglobin, hence allowing us to treat Portwine Stain of different sizes and depths, whilst causing minimal harm to the surrounding skin. Following treatment, the ruined vessels are absorbed by the body and usually no sign of the initial lesion is left.

By taking on IPL at Dr Sknn, we make use of light energy. This light is absorbed by the Portwine Stain, causing them to become overheated and contract or break down. In the weeks to come, the broken vessels are absorbed naturally by the body, leaving hardly any sign of the initial injury.

At Dr Sknn, a comprehensive consultation is undertaken, with a medical history taken, physical examination and photography. Furthermore, this is the right time to ask questions or express any apprehensions, expectations, outcomes or queries you may have. Before the Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment, all post-treatment advice, as well as the associated risks will be communicated to you, to ensure you are comfortable with the procedure. Additionally, a patch test may be administered if the area being treated is new.
