Cherry angiomas (or sometimes known as haemangiomas) are harmless, small red to purple growths that are in fact a collection of tiny blood vessels. They can appear anywhere on the body and more of them occur with time and maturity.
Cherry angiomas can be removed easily and safely with a quick in-office procedure with minimal to no downtime.
Techniques used:
Electrodessication: the cherry angioma undergoes destruction by pinpoint heat
Laser: laser can be used to destroy the tiny blood vessels which cause the red/purple appearance
