YAG Laser Treatment for Cherry Angiomas
YAG Laser Treatment for Cherry Angiomas
Cherry angiomas, alternatively known as Campbell de Morgan spots or senile angiomas, are widespread, harmless red bumps that can show up on various parts of the body. Though they pose no medical risk, they may not be aesthetically pleasing to some. Fortunately, their removal is simple and straightforward with SKYNN MD’s advanced Nd:YAG laser technology.
What are Cherry Angiomas?
Cherry angiomas are small, red skin growths commonly found on arms, shoulders, and the torso. Their size can range from tiny specks to a quarter-inch, and they can be flat or slightly raised. While their exact cause is unknown, genetics may play a role. The red color comes from ruptured blood vessels, so avoid scratching them to prevent bleeding. They become more common and may grow larger with age, and if they change significantly or bleed often, consult a doctor as this could signal skin cancer.
Nd: YAG Laser: The Effective Remedy
The Nd:YAG laser available at SKYNN MD is specifically designed to target and treat vascular anomalies. It works by focusing its wavelength on the hemoglobin present in the subdermal blood vessels. This leads to blood coagulation and the gradual disappearance of the blood vessels, effectively causing the angioma to dissolve over multiple sessions. The treatment is subtle, and it usually takes 4 to 6 sessions, spaced several weeks apart, for optimal results. Experiencing the treatment is virtually pain-free, generating only a mild warming sensation. Moreover, the procedure requires no recovery period, so you can get back to your daily routine right away.
