Cherry Angiomas Treatment

Cherry angiomas are small, benign skin growths made up of blood vessels, giving them a bright red appearance. They commonly develop on the torso, arms, and shoulders and are usually round or slightly raised. 

They tend to appear with age, particularly after the age of 30. While the exact cause is unknown, factors such as genetics, ageing, and sun exposure are believed to contribute to their development. 

Cherry angiomas are considered a common skin change that occurs with age. In most cases, they do not indicate any underlying health issue and do not require medical treatment unless removed for cosmetic reasons or if they become irritated. 

Cherry angiomas do not disappear on their own. Although they are harmless and usually do not require medical intervention, many individuals choose to have them removed for cosmetic reasons or if they become irritated or bleed. 

Laser pigmentation removal treatment targets the blood vessels within the cherry angioma using focused light energy. This energy causes the vessels to coagulate and collapse, leading the angioma to shrink and fade over time. The procedure is precise, minimally invasive, and designed to avoid damage to the surrounding skin. It is an effective option for safely reducing or removing cherry angiomas with little to no downtime. 

 Laser removal is often preferred for treating cherry angiomas due to its precision and minimal invasiveness. Unlike surgical excision or cryotherapy, laser treatment targets the blood vessels without breaking the skin, reducing the risk of scarring and infection. It is also quick, generally well-tolerated, and suitable for treating multiple angiomas in a single session. However, the best method may vary depending on individual skin type, the number of lesions, and personal preferences. 

You By Sia uses the Laser for the removal of cherry angiomas. This advanced system is powered by Alma’s Advanced Fluorescence Technology (AFT™), which emits targeted light energy to close the blood vessels that form the angioma.

Most individuals describe the sensation as a quick, warm snap against the skin. The procedure does not usually require anaesthesia, although a cooling system or numbing cream may be used to enhance comfort. Any redness or sensitivity after treatment typically subsides within a few hours. 

Side effects from laser removal of cherry angiomas are usually mild and temporary. Some individuals can experience slight redness, swelling, or warmth in the treated area, which usually resolves in a few days. Serious complications are uncommon when the treatment is carried out by a qualified practitioner. 

It is normal for the treated area to appear slightly red or feel warm after laser removal. In some cases, a small scab may form as the skin heals. This is part of the natural healing process and usually resolves on its own within a few days. Proper aftercare helps reduce the chance of irritation or scarring. 

Treated cherry angiomas usually do not return after laser removal. However, new ones may develop over time, especially as part of the natural ageing process. While the laser effectively removes existing angiomas, it does not prevent new ones from forming in the future. 

After laser treatment, it is important to keep the treated area clean and protected. Avoid sun exposure, harsh skincare products, and excessive heat (such as saunas) for a few days. A gentle cleanser and broad-spectrum sunscreen are recommended. If any redness or scabbing occurs, allow the skin to heal naturally without picking or rubbing. 

It is best to avoid wearing makeup on the treated area for at least 24 hours after laser removal. Once any redness or sensitivity has subsided, makeup can usually be applied as normal but always follow your practitioner’s specific aftercare advice.
