We boast a team of esteemed London doctors, each an expert in deploying the latest, minimally invasive techniques for the effective removal of cherry angiomas.
A cherry angioma, also known as a senile angioma or Campbell de Morgan spot, is a common type of vascular lesion. These benign skin growths are made up of clusters of tiny blood vessels, which give them a distinctive appearance. Cherry angiomas can appear anywhere on the body but are most commonly found on the torso, arms, legs, and shoulders. They are prevalent in adults over the age of 30, though they can also appear at younger ages. These growths are typically small, ranging in size from a pinpoint to several millimeters in diameter, and are either flat or slightly raised from the skin’s surface. Under the touch, they may feel smooth or slightly bumpy.
Cherry angiomas are usually asymptomatic, meaning they don’t cause pain or discomfort. However, their symptoms and characteristics include:
City Dermatology Clinic offers a range of advanced treatment options for cherry angioma removal, designed to meet your unique needs and ensure the best possible outcomes. Our expert team, located in the heart of London, specialises in the latest minimally invasive techniques to quickly remove these common skin growths with minimal discomfort.
Electrocautery, also involving a process known as curettage and cautery, is a precise procedure designed to remove cherry angiomas. During this treatment, a small probe with an electric current is used to cauterise (burn) the angioma, effectively destroying the blood vessels within the growth. This method may include curettage, where the lesion is scraped away before or after cauterisation to ensure complete removal. It’s a quick process, usually requiring only a local anaesthetic, and is highly effective for both small and larger angiomas.
Shave excision is a straightforward technique where the cherry angioma is carefully “shaved” off at the level of the surrounding skin with a small surgical blade. This method is particularly suitable for raised angiomas and offers the advantage of leaving minimal scarring. A local anaesthetic is used to ensure the procedure is pain-free, and the healing process is relatively rapid, allowing you to return to your daily activities with little to no downtime.
Cryotherapy involves the application of extreme cold, using liquid nitrogen, to freeze and destroy the cherry angioma. This treatment is quick and efficient, particularly for smaller angiomas, and may require more than one session for optimal results. The process induces a mild stinging sensation, but this is generally well-tolerated and short-lived. Post-treatment, the area may form a small blister, which heals over a few days, leaving clear, healthy skin.
Our doctors will discuss your medical history, examine your cherry angiomas, and recommend the most suitable treatment option based on their size, number, and location, as well as your personal preferences and skin type. While the final treatment plan will be tailored to your specific needs, here’s what you can typically expect from each removal process:
