What are cherry angiomas?
Cherry angiomas are small, bright red or purple skin lesions made up of tiny blood vessels. They are very common, particularly from the age of 30 onwards, and can appear anywhere on the body. While harmless, many people choose to remove them for cosmetic reasons or if they catch, bleed or become irritated.
How do you treat cherry angiomas?
At SkinLab Aesthetics & Skin Rejuvenation, we treat cherry angiomas using Lynton Excelight IPL or cryotherapy, depending on their size, location, appearance and patient preference.
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)
Uses targeted light energy that is absorbed by the blood within the lesion, causing it to safely heat, coagulate and gradually fade.
Cryotherapy
Uses controlled freezing to destroy the lesion, allowing it to dry, scab and naturally fall away.
Your practitioner will recommend the most appropriate method during your consultation.
How many treatments are required?
Many cherry angiomas respond well after just one treatment, although larger or thicker lesions may require more sessions.
Is the treatment safe?
Yes. Both IPL and cryotherapy are clinically recognised treatments for vascular lesions. We use medically certified equipment and carry out a thorough assessment to ensure suitability and safety.
Every treatment begins with a full consultation to assess the lesion, confirm it is suitable for removal, and discuss which method will give you the best outcome.
Is there downtime?
Downtime is minimal. The treated area may appear slightly darker, red or form a small scab before healing. This usually settles within 1–2 weeks.
Your practitioner will provide full aftercare guidance so you know exactly what to expect during the healing process.
