Cherry Angioma & Hemangioma Removal Treatment Overview

Cherry angiomas and hemangiomas are benign vascular lesions that appear as red, purple, or bluish growths on the skin. These are caused by an overgrowth of blood vessels in the skin and are completely harmless, but many individuals seek removal for cosmetic reasons or to prevent irritation from clothing or shaving.

Cherry angiomas typically appear as small, bright red spots, while hemangiomas can be larger, raised, and sometimes darker in color. They commonly occur on the face, chest, abdomen, arms, and legs, and can increase in size or number with age.

At Image Clinic, we offer advanced laser and light-based treatments to safely and effectively remove cherry angiomas and hemangiomas without the need for surgical excision or prolonged downtime.

Our targeted energy systems precisely break down the excess blood vessels, allowing the body to naturally eliminate them over time, restoring clear, smooth skin.

What To Expect

✔ Comprehensive Consultation & Skin Analysis – Our specialists evaluate the size, color, and location of the lesions to determine the most effective removal method.

✔ Advanced Laser or IPL Treatment – A focused laser targets the blood vessels within the angioma or hemangioma, breaking them down without damaging surrounding skin.

✔ Quick, Painless Sessions – Most treatments are completed in under 30 minutes, with minimal discomfort reported.

✔ Gradual Lightening & Disappearance – Over the next 1-4 weeks, the treated lesion will darken, shrink, and eventually fade away.

✔ Permanent Removal with Minimal Risk of Recurrence – Once treated, the angioma or hemangioma is unlikely to return, though new ones may form over time due to genetics or aging.

How To Prepare

✔ Avoid Sun Exposure Before Treatment – Tanned or sunburned skin may increase sensitivity and risk of post-treatment pigmentation changes.

✔ Discontinue Blood Thinners – If safe for you, avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, and other anticoagulants a few days before treatment to reduce the risk of bruising.

✔ Keep the Skin Clean & Free of Lotions or Makeup – Arrive with freshly cleansed skin, free from cosmetics, lotions, or self-tanners.

✔ Stay Hydrated for Optimal Healing – Well-hydrated skin responds better to laser treatments and heals more efficiently.

✔ Discuss Any Medical Conditions with Your Provider – Certain conditions affect blood circulation or skin healing, and should be reviewed before treatment.

Aftercare

✔ Apply a Cold Compress if Needed – A gentle cooling pack can help reduce minor swelling or redness post-treatment.

✔ Avoid Scrubbing or Picking at the Area – The lesion may darken or scab slightly before fading, so let it heal naturally.

✔ Use Sunscreen Daily – Protecting the treated area with SPF 50+ sunscreen helps prevent pigmentation changes and maintains clear skin.

✔ Limit Hot Showers & Saunas for 48 Hours – Excessive heat can dilate blood vessels, potentially slowing down the healing process.

✔ Monitor Healing & Follow Up if Needed – Some larger hemangiomas may require multiple sessions for complete removal.

How many treatments are needed for complete removal?

For small cherry angiomas, a single session is usually enough. Larger hemangiomas may require multiple treatments, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, for full clearance.

Does the treatment hurt?

Most patients describe the sensation as a quick snap, similar to a rubber band flicking the skin. The discomfort is minimal and temporary, with no need for anesthesia.

Is there any downtime after treatment?

Downtime is minimal. Some clients experience mild redness, darkening, or slight scabbing, but these effects resolve within a few days. Normal activities can be resumed immediately.

Are the results permanent?

Yes! Treated angiomas and hemangiomas do not return, but new ones can develop over time, especially with age or sun exposure. Regular skincare and sun protection help prevent recurrence.
