Laser Treatment for Cherry Angiomas
Cherry angiomas can be effectively treated using laser surgery. This procedure involves using a pulsed dye laser to target and damage the vessel walls of the angioma. After the treatment, some bruising may occur, which usually takes about a week or more to heal completely. Laser surgery is typically performed on an outpatient basis, making it a convenient treatment option. However, the number of sessions required may vary depending on the extent of the angiomas.
Shave Excision: A Treatment Option for Raised Cherry Angiomas
When it comes to treating raised cherry angiomas, one effective method is shave excision. This procedure involves using a small blade or electrosurgical tool to make repeated horizontal cuts into the affected tissue. Unlike other treatment options, shave excision does not require sutures or stitches.
Although uncommon, there is a possibility of scarring after undergoing this procedure. However, many patients have successfully undergone shave excision with minimal scarring.
