At Dr Sknn we make use of the Lynton Lumina, a cutting-edge Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL), which is employed by the NHS and private hospitals across the UK to treat Portwine Stain safely and effectively on skin types I-IV. With the emission of light at a certain wavelength, we are able to target absorption peaks in haemoglobin and oxy-haemoglobin, and therefore treat Portwine Stain of different sizes and depths, while leaving the surrounding skin relatively undamaged. Post-treatment, the damaged vessels are absorbed by the body and the initial lesion is nearly unnoticeable.
Doctor Led Portwine Stain Withington - Benefits
At Dr Sknn, IPL is used to access the power of light energy. The light is then taken in by the Portwine Stain, which heat up until they spasm and/or collapse, thus sealing them off. In the following weeks, the damaged vessels are then naturally absorbed by the body, leaving no evidence of the first lesion.
Why Choose Dr Sknn for Portwine Stain
At Dr Sknn, a medical history and physical exam with pictures will be done during the appointment. During the consultation, you will have the chance to discuss any concerns, goals, outcomes, or questions you may have. Ahead of the procedure, any aftercare advice and threats associated with the treatment will be gone over to ensure that you fully understand them and a consent form will be signed. Also, if it is a new area being treated a small Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) trial will be undertaken to make sure it is appropriate.
