Treatment of Cherry Angiomas in San Diego
Cherry angiomas tend to be small non-cancerous bumps on the skin that range in color from bright red to deep purple. Cherry angiomas are formed from the overgrowth of small veins into a cluster. Though their cause is unknown, cherry angiomas are more likely to appear as you age. Though cherry angiomas can affect anyone, these lesions are more noticeable on people with pale skin.
At FACESplus, we know that cherry-red bumps on your skin can be embarrassing and harm your sense of self-confidence.
Laser Vein Removal with Cutera
Because cherry angiomas are merely vein clusters, Cutera laser treatment is extremely effective in their treatment. The Cutera laser vein removal system delivers pulses of light energy, causing the blood within the cherry angioma to coagulate. The cherry angiomas are then destroyed and later reabsorbed by your body. Blood flow is then redirected to veins deeper below your skin’s surface. If you have dark, light or tanned skin, you can still get outstanding results with the Cutera laser vein removal system in just one or two treatments. Most patients report a bit of stinging during treatment, but no anesthetic is typically required. If there is any downtime, it is usually under 24 hours.
