Remove red spots precisely

Cherry angiomas, also known as Campbell de Morgan spots or blood spots, are bright red, raised spots that become more common as we get older. They are harmless, but they can appear in growing numbers and are often noticeable enough that people want them gone.

Shannon treats them with two precise methods, advanced electrolysis and Cryopen, and will recommend the right one for you at your consultation.

Two ways to treat cherry angiomas

Shannon checks every spot at your consultation and recommends the method that suits it best.

Advanced electrolysis

Using Sterex short wave diathermy, a fine, sterile needle delivers a controlled current to the spot so it can be treated without affecting the skin around it.

Advanced electrolysis for skin blemishes

Cryopen

A fine jet of nitrous oxide freezes the spot at around −89°C in a matter of seconds, with no needles and no anaesthetic.

How treatment works

Every treatment starts with a consultation at Shannon’s clinic in Upper Cambourne, so the right method is chosen for each spot.

Treatment is quick and precise, and the skin around each spot is left alone.

Consultation and skin check

Shannon looks at your spots, goes through your medical history and recommends advanced electrolysis or Cryopen.

Your treatment

Advanced electrolysis feels like a mild warmth with a pinprick or tapping sensation, while Cryopen gives a brief, sharp cold sting.

Healing

The area may be a little red, swollen or warm afterwards, which usually settles within hours to a few days. After Cryopen, any small scab falls away on its own, usually within one to two weeks.

Aftercare and what to know

A few simple steps help your skin heal well.

Looking after your skin

Keep the area clean and dry for the first few days.

Let any scab heal on its own and avoid picking at it.

Leave make-up off the area until it has healed.

Protect the area with SPF whenever you’re outdoors.

Good to know

Cherry angiomas are harmless and become more common with age.

A treated spot won’t return, but new spots can appear over time.

New spots can be treated in the same way.
