Cherry Angioma Removal By Latest Laser

A Cherry Angioma is a small, red benign skin growth that can develop virtually anywhere on your body, though they’re most commonly found on the arms, shoulders and torso. It’s not known what causes them, though some people may be genetically more likely to develop them, and pregnancy and several other possible factors have been linked to them. They get their red colour from the broken blood vessels inside them, and they can be anything from a pinprick to several millimetres in diameter. They are usually harmless and can be removed safely for cosmetic reasons, but we recommend that you see your doctor if your angioma bleeds or changes size, shape or colour.

The reason cherry angiomas develop isn’t known. Age, however, seems to be a major factor, as they’re much more common the older you are. Many specialists believe they may be connected to chemical exposure, genetics, and pregnancy.

Luckily, these won’t need to be treated and there’s no harm in leaving them on your skin, unless you’d like them removed for personal preferences or if they start to change in appearance. If that’s the case, here are your options:

• Cryosurgery, which is focused destruction by freezing with liquid nitrogen
• Electrocauterization, which is focused destruction with a low-level electric current
• Laser destruction
• Shave removal
