Cherry Angioma

Their bright-red (or purple or, sometimes, even black) appearance may seem odd, but cherry angiomas are usually harmless. They are skin growths that can occur on almost any area of the body. Also known as cherry hemangiomas or Campbell de Morgan spots, they are usually found on people age 30 and older, their red hue is caused by a series of broken blood vessels inside. We tend to develop more of these little red blemishes as we get older, and many people associate them with aging.

Although cherry angiomas won’t go away on their own, our professional skin specialists can recommend safe and effective cherry angioma removal using vascular laser, which uses laser/light energy to heat the blood vessels to a temperature that will break them down and shrink them, reducing and, often, completely eliminating their appearance above the surface of the skin.
