What are Cherry Angiomas?

Cherry angiomas are common, dome-shaped papules ranging in size from 0.1 to 1 cm in diameter. They can appear anywhere on the body, scalp, or even genitals and often develop in clusters. These harmless growths typically begin appearing around age 40 and may increase in number over time. While they pose no medical risk, many people choose to remove them for cosmetic reasons.

How Can They Be Removed?

Most cherry angiomas can be removed quickly and effectively with vascular laser treatment. The laser works by causing the blood vessels within the angioma to clot (a process called thrombosis), and your body naturally clears them away over the next few weeks. In most cases, a single session is all it takes to achieve excellent results.
