Cherry Angiomas
A cherry angioma is a small red or purple growth on the skin, often on the torso, arms, or face. They are made up of clusters of small blood vessels and are generally harmless. These benign growths are most common in individuals over 30 and can grow larger over time. While cherry angiomas are not typically a health concern, they may affect the appearance of your skin. At IWH Medspa in Ventura, CA, we offer safe and effective treatments to remove cherry angiomas, restoring a smooth and clear skin surface. Our expert team uses advanced technology to help eliminate these growths with minimal downtime and discomfort.
Treatment Options
At IWH Medspa, we offer several advanced treatments to remove cherry angiomas effectively:
PicoSure® Laser Treatment
PicoSure® is an advanced laser that uses ultra-short energy pulses to target and break down pigmented areas in the skin. This technology effectively treats cherry angiomas by delivering energy directly to the blood vessels, which collapse and are naturally absorbed by the body. PicoSure® is precise and requires minimal downtime, making it an excellent choice for individuals looking to address cherry angiomas on the face or body.
Lutronic® Clarity and Lutronic® Ultra
Both Lutronic® Clarity and Lutronic® Ultra are dual-wavelength lasers that target various skin concerns, including pigmentation and vascular conditions like cherry angiomas. These lasers deliver powerful yet gentle energy to treat vascular lesions, helping to reduce the visibility of cherry angiomas with minimal discomfort and downtime. Depending on the size and location of the angiomas, one of these lasers may be used to target and eliminate the growths effectively.
