Cherry Angioma Laser Treatment
Cherry Angioma Laser Treatment
What we do
OUR TREATMENTS
Cherry angiomas, also known as Campbell de Morgan spots or senile angiomas, are benign growths that appear as small, bright red bumps on the surface of the skin. While these growths are usually harmless, many individuals find them unsightly or bothersome, especially if they are prominent or located in visible areas.
Laser treatment for cherry angiomas offers a safe and effective solution for reducing their appearance. The procedure involves the use of a specialised laser device that emits a concentrated beam of light. This light is absorbed by the blood vessels within the cherry angiomas, causing them to heat up and coagulate. Over time, the treated angiomas shrink and fade, resulting in a smoother and more even skin tone.
At Elipsa, I utilise advanced laser technology to effectively treat cherry angiomas. Cherry angiomas are small, benign skin growths that appear as bright red or purple bumps on the skin’s surface. While they are typically harmless, many individuals seek treatment to improve the aesthetic appearance of their skin.
At Elipsa Laser
The lasers I use for cherry angioma treatment include the Diode laser, Picosure, and E light (IPL and RF). The specific laser or combination of lasers used will be decided during your consultation, as each skin requirement is unique.
The Diode laser is a versatile and efficient laser that emits a specific wavelength of light to target the red pigment in cherry angiomas. This laser energy is selectively absorbed by the blood vessels within the angiomas, causing them to coagulate and shrink. Over time, the body naturally absorbs the treated vessels, resulting in a significant reduction in the appearance of cherry angiomas.

Similarly, the Picosure laser delivers ultra-short pulses of light energy, specifically targeting the pigment in the angiomas. This laser technology effectively breaks down the pigment, allowing the body’s natural processes to gradually eliminate the cherry angiomas.
The E light technology combines intense pulsed light (IPL) and radiofrequency (RF) energy to treat cherry angiomas. IPL targets the red color of the angiomas, while RF energy heats and coagulates the blood vessels, leading to their gradual disappearance.
One of the key advantages of laser treatment for cherry angiomas is its precision and effectiveness. The lasers used specifically target the angiomas, minimising any damage to the surrounding skin. This makes laser therapy a safe and highly successful option for treating cherry angiomas.
The benefits of laser cherry angioma treatment include:
- Non-invasive: Laser treatment for cherry angiomas does not require incisions or sutures, making it a safe and convenient option.
- Customised treatment: During your consultation, I will assess your skin condition and create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
- Quick and efficient: Laser treatment sessions are relatively quick, typically lasting 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the size and number of cherry angiomas being treated.
- Minimal downtime: Most individuals can resume their daily activities immediately after treatment, as there is minimal downtime associated with laser cherry angioma treatment.
- Long-lasting results: With proper post-treatment care, the results of laser treatment for cherry angiomas can be long-lasting. However, periodic maintenance sessions may be recommended to sustain the desired outcome.
How long does each treatment session last?
Each treatment session typically lasts between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the size and number of cherry angiomas being treated.
Will the laser treatment hurt?
While some individuals may experience mild discomfort during the laser treatment, it is generally well-tolerated. Topical numbing creams can be applied to enhance comfort.
Can all skin colours be treated with lasers?
Yes, laser treatment for cherry angiomas is suitable for a wide range of skin colors, including fair and darker skin tones.
What do I need to do after the treatment?
After the treatment, it is important to follow the post-treatment instructions provided by your laser specialist. This may include avoiding direct sun exposure, applying sunscreen, and using gentle skincare products. It is crucial to protect the treated area and allow it to heal properly for optimal results.
Will I need time off work?
Most individuals do not require time off work following laser cherry angioma treatment, as there is minimal downtime associated with the procedure. However, it is advisable to discuss any specific concerns or requirements with your laser specialist during the consultation.
How long does the treatment or result last?
The duration of the treatment’s results can vary from person to person. Factors such as lifestyle, sun exposure, and ongoing skincare routine can influence the longevity of the results. However, with proper care and maintenance, the reduction in the appearance of cherry angiomas achieved through laser treatment can be long-lasting.
Are there any potential side effects of laser cherry angioma treatment?
Laser cherry angioma treatment is generally safe and well-tolerated. However, some individuals may experience temporary side effects such as redness, swelling, or mild bruising in the treated area. These effects are usually mild and subside within a few days.
How do I know if laser cherry angioma treatment is right for me?
During your free consultation, I will assess your skin condition and discuss your concerns and goals. Based on this evaluation, I will recommend the most suitable treatment options for you, including laser cherry angioma treatment if appropriate.
Can cherry angiomas return after laser treatment?
Laser treatment effectively reduces the appearance of cherry angiomas, but new ones may develop over time. However, the treated angiomas are unlikely to recur in the same location. Regular follow-up appointments and periodic maintenance sessions may be recommended to address any new angiomas that may appear.
Is laser cherry angioma treatment safe?
Laser cherry angioma treatment is considered safe when performed by a qualified and experienced laser specialist. The lasers used are designed to target the specific pigment in the angiomas, minimizing any harm to the surrounding skin. It is important to choose a reputable clinic with certified professionals to ensure your safety and optimal results.
The number of treatment sessions required may vary depending on the size and number of cherry angiomas being treated. During your consultation, I will provide a personalised treatment plan and discuss the recommended number of sessions for optimal results.
