LASER TREATMENTS

Cherry angioma laser treatment

Advanced Laser Removal of Cherry Angiomas

Cherry angiomas are common benign vascular skin lesions that can appear anywhere on the body and often become more noticeable with age. Using the medical-grade BIOTEC X-Lase Plus laser platform, this advanced laser treatment precisely targets these small vascular lesions, helping to improve overall skin clarity and create a smoother, more even appearance.

Treatment time

15–30 minutes

Downtime

Minimal

Course

1–3 treatments

Comfort

Brief warm snapping feeling

Suitable for most areas of the face and body, every treatment is tailored to your individual skin condition following a comprehensive consultation.

How It Works

Controlled laser energy is delivered directly to the cherry angioma, where it selectively targets the blood vessels within the lesion while preserving the surrounding healthy skin.

Over time, the treated angioma is naturally broken down and absorbed by the body, allowing the skin to heal with minimal disruption.

Treatment may help to:

  • Reduce the appearance of cherry angiomas
  • Improve overall skin clarity
  • Create a more even skin tone
  • Restore a smoother-looking skin surface
  • Enhance the overall appearance of the treated area

Depending on the size and number of lesions, more than one treatment session may be recommended.

Expected Results

Following treatment, many clients notice:

  • Reduced visibility of cherry angiomas
  • Clearer, more even-looking skin
  • Improved appearance of the treated area
  • Smoother skin surface
  • Increased confidence in their skin

Individual results vary depending on the size, depth and number of lesions treated.

Treatment time

Approximately 15–30 minutes, depending on the number and size of the lesions.

Comfort

The treatment is quick, non-invasive and generally well tolerated. Most clients describe the sensation as a brief warm snapping feeling against the skin.

Downtime

Minimal. Mild redness and slight swelling are common immediately after treatment. The treated angioma may temporarily darken or form a small crust before naturally healing over the following days.

Most clients are able to return to normal daily activities immediately.

Recommended treatment course

Many cherry angiomas respond well after a single treatment, although larger or multiple lesions may require 1–3 sessions for optimal cosmetic results.

If additional treatments are required, they are usually performed every 6–8 weeks.

Before Your Appointment

  • Attend your consultation and patch test if recommended.
  • Avoid sun exposure and fake tan for at least 4 weeksbefore treatment.
  • Avoid alcohol for 24 hoursbefore your appointment.
  • Avoid exfoliating products and active skincare in the treatment area for several days before treatment.
  • Arrive with clean skin free from creams, lotions or make-up if the treatment is being performed on the face.
  • Follow any personalised recommendations provided during your consultation.

Aftercare

Following your treatment:

  • Mild redness, warmth and slight swelling are normal and usually settle within a few hours.
  • The treated angioma may darken and form a small crust before naturally healing.
  • Do not pick, scratch or remove the crust, as this may increase the risk of scarring.
  • Keep the area clean and well moisturised.
  • Avoid hot baths, saunas, steam rooms, swimming pools and strenuous exercise for 24–48 hours.
  • Wear SPF 30–50 dailyand protect the treated area from direct sun exposure.
