Cherry angioma removal near Comberton, with Shannon treating Campbell de Morgan spots at her clinic in Upper Cambourne.
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.
If you are in Comberton and have spots like these, Shannon can assess them at a consultation and explain the best way to treat them.
How cherry angiomas are removed
Shannon treats cherry angiomas with two precise methods and will recommend the right one for you at your consultation.
- 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.
- 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.
What to expect
Advanced electrolysis feels like a mild warmth with a pinprick or tapping sensation, while Cryopen gives a brief, sharp cold sting. Afterwards the area may be a little red, swollen or warm, which usually settles within hours to a few days. Many spots clear after a single session, and Shannon will tell you at your consultation what she expects for yours.
Aftercare
- 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 are outdoors
Will they come back?
A treated cherry angioma will not return, although new spots can still appear over time. If more develop, they can be treated in the same way.
