What are Port Wine Stains?

A port wine stain (PWS) is a vascular defect in the skin caused by abnormal proliferation or development of blood vessels within the skin.

The changes that are seen in the blood vessels is caused by a mutation (change in a gene) which occurs during early pregnancy whilst the foetus is growing in the womb. This change in the gene is not inherited and therefore this can’t be passed to the offspring.

A port wine stain defect in the skin is flat, red to purple mark that is present at birth in the new born. Very occasionally with time it is observed that some of the port wine stain may become thicker and darken and develop into a ‘cobblestone’ appearance with easily noticeable palpable bumps and ridges.

It is estimated that 3 out of every 1000 born babies will suffer from port wine stains. Port wine stains can present anywhere on the body but in most of cases they are seen on one side of the body only, but occasionally on both sides where they are always asymmetrical. Interestingly 65 % of port wine stains are on the head and neck and also they are more common in girls than in boys.

Diagnosis of port wine stains is always clinical examination and generally no diagnostic tests are needed to confirm the diagnosis. If the child is born with is cranio-facial PWS, this child must be seen by specialist paediatricians and if necessary, screened for any intracranial vascular malformations or even expert ophthalmic review to rule out glaucoma.

Generally, port wine stains do not have to be treated unless it is causing low confidence or poor self-esteem etc.

However, those who is having the Pulsed Dye Laser treatment do need protection from the sun, before, during and after laser treatments. We advise them to a high SPF on all areas which are sun exposed, and use a wide brim hat to protect the treated area on the face and/or use of a black umbrella when out in sun.

At Renew Skin and Health Clinic, we offer a pulsed dye laser treatment for PWS which is also a treatment of choice for fading a port wine stains. Pulsed Dye Laser may even help the ‘cobblestone’ effect that develops in adulthood in those unfortunate PWS patients. Pain score during the treatment varies anything between 2-4/10.

Following the Pulsed Dye Laser Treatment, the treated area will immediately appear bruised and this will darken over next 12-24 hrs. From 2nd the 3rd day this bruising will start fading and return to normal by 3rd to 4th week. We advise to repeat the laser treatment sessions every 6-12 weeks.

In our experience, the best result is obtained when a series of treatments is given which can vary from person to person and can see visible improvements even as low as 4-6 treatment sessions.

A Test Patch may be required if a larger area needs to be treated to see the effectiveness of the laser treatment but if the area to be treated is very small then no test patch is required.

Costs: Our consultation fee is £125; A Test Patch will cost £150 and the per session Pulsed Dye Laser treatment varies between £150 to £400.

Disclaimer: Port Wine Stains treatment varies from person to person. We are only currently taking patients ages 14 yrs or older !

I visited Renew Clinic on 13 April on a recommendation from Mr Higman, vascular surgeon at Nuffield Warwickshire Hospital. I had, according to Mr Higman, haemosiderin which is apparently iron pigment from old blood bruising. I saw Dr Jha and he said he could try laser, but doubted if it would work. He said he could try and it might cost me hundreds of pounds and not be successful. He advised me to leave well alone, gave me one or two tips, and that time would improve the condition. He needn’t have said this, could have treated me and charged me a lot of money. Not only did he not do this, he also didn’t charge me for the consultation as he said he had only given me advice. What could be better than that?

Very prompt professional online consultation from Dr Jha. He throughly helped me and I received a great advice for curing an infection on my palm. The best part was that he explained to me medically that it was nothing to worry about and that eased me a lot as i did not want to visit any clinic during lockdown. I could easily avail his recommended cream at a local chemist. With just 2 application i already see it pealing off. I highly recommend Renew clinic and Dr Jha for giving me his honest and professional free online consultation during this lockdown period.

I have recent had treatment here at Renew Skin Clinic at Lemington Spa. DR Jha and his team are very professional and make you feel completely comfortable and confident. DR Jha responded to my enquiry in a matter of minutes and gave me everything I needed to know it was so easy to get booked in and quick too. The clinic is so easy to get to, the address postcode is pinpoint and car parking literally opposite, 5 second walk. They also give you so much information and knowledge on your treatment which is always nice and reassuring of course. The clinic is also very well kept, clean and comfortable and it was very nice to relax with a cup of coffee that was kindly offered to me. Finally the aftercare is also second to none DR Jha follows up with WhatsApp check ins on you on your healing and again all great advice and support. My overall experience from start to finish 10 out of 10 for sure 👍 thanks Dr Jha

Pleased with the choice of clinic. Dr Jha is very personable and takes time to explain and check you are happy. He offers 24 hour support and is always available for help. The whole team were great, including Dr Mohan the plastic surgeon, Dr Nisha and Szilvia the nurse, all approachable, helpful and friendly. So far very pleased with the results and I would return for further treatments. Easy parking, reasonable costs.

Had a great experience with Renew clinic, Dr Jha and staff. Very professional and friendly, I was able to message or call at any time of day and I received a quick helpful response. Had laser removal on a mole and even through the covid pandemic everything was safe. The procedure was quick and painless. I am really pleased with the results and Dr Jha still checks in to make sure everything is healing as it should. I am super happy with the work I had done - it’s given me such a confidence boost that I never knew I needed!! Would highly recommend this clinic.

Dr Jha was so honest when giving me advice on what treatments would work for my skin issues. Rather than any other company who would have just easily taken my money; he explained the risks involved for the type of treatment I wanted for my skin type and offered alternatives for half the price. Just a brilliant man who genuinely cares for the welfare of his patients and is not just about making money. Thankyou Dr Jha for your honesty.

Fantastic experience at Renew! Treatment and follow up appointments by Dr. Jha were professional and the staff are very friendly! My treatment was during covid pandemic and I could not fault the extra steps taken to ensure everything was safe and sterile. Excellent aftercare too! Really pleased with the work I had done, given me a huge confidence boost and I would definitely recommend them!

I have absolutely nothing but great things to say about this establishment. I’m from *Canada and I received a free online consultation with Dr Jha regarding the normality or abnormality of what I was worried may have been an infection. After taking a look at the photos Dr Jha reassured me of the normalcy of the condition and it’s benign nature. It took a huge weight off my shoulders and I was able to feel comfortable with my body again. He responded within minutes of my inquiry and answered all my questions in both a timely, professional, and most importantly *reassuring manor. I’m so grateful to Doctor Jha and his knowledge and experience for helping me through a stressful period in my life. I have nothing but good things to say. They absolutely deserve all the positive ratings they receive and many more. FIVE STARS. HANDS DOWN. 🙂
