Cherry Angioma Removal

Following your Cherry Angioma Removal treatment, it is important to care for the treated area correctly to support healing, minimise the risk of infection and achieve the best possible cosmetic result. It is normal to experience some temporary side effects following treatment, including: Mild redness around the treated area. Slight swelling. A small scab or crust forming over the treated angioma. Mild tenderness or sensitivity. Occasionally, slight bruising. These reactions are expected and form part of the normal healing process. The treated area will gradually heal over the following 7–14 days, although healing may take slightly longer depending on the size and location of the lesion. To protect the treated area and support healing: Keep the area clean and dry for the first 24 hours. Apply the recommended aftercare cream if advised by your practitioner. Avoid touching, rubbing or scratching the treated area. Allow any scab or crust to form naturally. For the first 24–48 hours: Avoid hot baths, hot showers, saunas, steam rooms and hot tubs. Avoid vigorous exercise or activities that cause excessive sweating. Avoid swimming pools and chlorinated water. Avoid applying makeup, perfumes or fragranced products directly to the treated area. Until the area has fully healed: Do not pick, scratch or remove any scab, as this may increase the risk of scarring or infection. Avoid exfoliating products, retinol, retinoids, AHAs, BHAs and other active skincare products on the treated area. Avoid waxing, threading or other treatments directly over the healing skin. Continue using a gentle cleanser and moisturiser around the area if appropriate. ion Protecting the treated area from UV exposure is essential during the healing process. Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 50 once the skin has fully healed. Avoid direct sun exposure and sunbeds until the area has completely healed. Wear protective clothing or cover the area where possible when outdoors. Failure to protect the healing skin from UV exposure may increase the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). Most cherry angiomas can be successfully removed in one treatment, although larger or multiple lesions may require additional sessions. To achieve the best cosmetic outcome: Follow all aftercare advice carefully. Allow the treated area to heal naturally. Protect your skin from excessive sun exposure. Attend any recommended review appointments if advised by your practitioner. Please contact Body Perfection Clinic if you experience: Severe or worsening redness lasting longer than 72 hours. Excessive swelling or increasing pain. Persistent bleeding that does not stop with gentle pressure. Signs of infection, including pus, excessive heat, spreading redness or discharge. Any unexpected or concerning reaction following your treatment. Your practitioner will be happy to advise you and arrange a review appointment if required.

To ensure your Cherry Angioma Removal treatment is as safe and effective as possible, please follow the advice below before your appointment. Avoid direct sun exposure, sunbeds and self-tanning products for at least 2 weeks before your treatment. Recently tanned skin may be more sensitive and increase the risk of pigmentation changes. * Do not apply fake tan to the treatment area for 7 days before your appointment. * Avoid using retinol, retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, vitamin C serums and exfoliating products on the treatment area for 5–7 days before treatment. * Avoid chemical peels, microneedling or laser treatments on the treatment area for at least 2 weeks before your appointment. * If the treatment area is hairy, shave the area 24 hours before treatment if advised by your practitioner. Do not wax, thread, pluck or use depilatory creams beforehand. * Arrive with the treatment area clean and free from makeup, moisturisers, oils, perfumes, deodorants or fake tan. * Inform your practitioner if you are taking blood-thinning medication, have a bleeding disorder or are prone to poor wound healing, as this may affect your treatment. * Please inform your practitioner of any changes to your medical history, medications, allergies or recent skin treatments before your appointment. * If the treatment area becomes sunburnt, broken, infected, inflamed or irritated before your appointment, please contact the clinic as your treatment may need to be postponed. * Stay well hydrated before your appointment and wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the treatment area. During your consultation, your practitioner will assess the cherry angioma(s), confirm that the lesion is suitable for cosmetic removal and create a personalised treatment plan to ensure the safest procedure and the best possible cosmetic outcome.

A consultation is an essential part of your Cherry Angioma Removal treatment and is required before your first appointment. During your consultation, your practitioner will assess the lesion(s), discuss your concerns and determine whether Cherry Angioma Removal is the most suitable treatment for you. We will review your: Medical history and current medications. Skin type and the area to be treated. The size, number and appearance of the cherry angioma(s). Previous skin treatments or procedures. Treatment goals and expectations. Your practitioner will explain how the treatment works, discuss the expected results, outline any potential risks and answer any questions you may have. If there is any uncertainty about the nature of a lesion, you may be advised to seek further medical assessment before treatment can proceed. For your appointment, we recommend wearing comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the treatment area. Please ensure the skin is clean and free from makeup, moisturisers or fake tan where possible. Every client is assessed individually to ensure treatment is both safe and appropriate. A personalised treatment plan will be created based on the size, location and number of cherry angiomas being treated, helping you achieve the best possible cosmetic outcome.

We offer two consultation options: £25 Face-to-Face Consultation – Includes an assessment of your cherry angioma(s), a discussion of your treatment options and a personalised treatment plan. FREE Telephone Consultation – Ideal if you'd like to discuss your concerns, learn more about Cherry Angioma Removal and ask any initial questions before booking.

For your Cherry Angioma Removal appointment, we recommend wearing comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the treatment area. If treatment is being performed on the face, neck or chest, a loose-fitting top with a wide neckline or buttons is ideal to minimise friction afterwards. For body treatments, wear soft, breathable clothing that can be easily adjusted while maintaining your comfort and privacy. Avoid tight clothing, high collars or rough fabrics that may rub against the treated area following treatment. Please arrive with clean skin free from makeup, fake tan, moisturisers and perfumes where possible. Depending on the treatment performed, mild redness or sensitivity may occur afterwards, so loose clothing is recommended to help keep the area comfortable during healing. Your comfort and privacy are always our priority, and disposable headbands, towels and gowns are provided when required. Most clients are able to return to normal activities immediately following treatment.

Cherry angiomas are commonly associated with ageing and genetics. While treatment can remove existing lesions, it cannot stop new ones from developing in the future.

Most treatments are designed to minimise scarring, although healing varies from person to person and depends on the size and location of the lesion.

Cherry angiomas are extremely common and are usually harmless. If you're concerned about any skin lesion, it's always best to have it assessed by a professional.

No. Removing one cherry angioma does not cause others to develop. However, some people naturally develop more over time due to genetics and ageing.

We wouldn't recommend it. Home removal methods can lead to bleeding, infection, scarring and incomplete removal. Professional treatment is much safer and more effective.

Cherry angiomas contain small blood vessels and can bleed if they're knocked or damaged, but they're usually not dangerous. If a cherry angioma is bothering you, professional removal is often the safest option.

Diathermy is a treatment that uses a high-frequency electrical current to generate controlled heat within the skin. It is commonly used to treat small superficial skin lesions and vascular blemishes by precisely targeting unwanted tissue without causing unnecessary damage to the surrounding skin. The heat produced during treatment coagulates and seals tiny blood vessels or destroys unwanted tissue, allowing the body to naturally heal and remove the treated area. Diathermy is widely used for concerns such as cherry angiomas, skin tags, thread veins and other minor skin imperfections due to its precision, effectiveness and minimal downtime.

Before treatment, the skin should be clean and free from lotions, oils or fake tan. Avoid excessive sun exposure before your appointment as recently sunburned or irritated skin may not be suitable for treatment. Your practitioner will assess the lesion prior to treatment to confirm it is suitable for removal.

Cherry Angioma Removal Treatment can be performed on most areas of the body, including the face, neck, chest, back and arms. Suitability will be assessed during consultation to ensure the lesion is appropriate for cosmetic removal.

Most cherry angiomas will darken or form a small scab shortly after treatment. As the skin heals, the angioma gradually disappears, leaving clearer skin. In many cases the lesion is removed permanently after one treatment.

Cherry Angioma Removal treatment is generally very quick and well tolerated. Depending on the treatment method used, clients may experience a brief cold, warm or stinging sensation during the procedure. Both cryotherapy and diathermy treatments are designed to be precise and minimally invasive, with discomfort usually settling very quickly after treatment.

Many cherry angiomas are successfully removed in one session. Some larger or deeper lesions may require a follow-up treatment to achieve the best cosmetic result. Your practitioner will advise you during consultation.

When treated correctly and cared for properly during healing, scarring is unlikely. Both CryoPen cryotherapy and diathermy are highly precise treatments designed to target the lesion while minimising disruption to the surrounding healthy skin. Avoiding picking the area and protecting the skin from sun exposure during healing is important for optimal results.

Common temporary side effects may include redness, mild swelling, darkening of the lesion and scab formation. In rare cases, temporary lightening or darkening of the surrounding skin can occur. Scarring is uncommon when aftercare instructions are followed properly.

After Cherry Angioma Removal, do not pick or scratch the treated area, as this may increase the risk of scarring. Avoid sun exposure and sunbeds for at least seven days after treatment. Do not swim, use saunas or steam rooms for seven days. Avoid exfoliating the treated area until it has fully healed. Keep the area clean and dry, and allow the scab to fall away naturally

After treatment, the area may appear red, slightly swollen or darker in colour. A small scab often forms within a few days and may remain for 7 to 14 days. The treated area may appear darker for several weeks as the lesion breaks down, but normal skin tone typically returns within approximately six weeks.

Cherry Angioma Removal is a quick procedure. Each lesion typically takes only a few seconds to treat, and multiple angiomas can usually be treated within one appointment.

Yes. Cherry Angioma Removal using cryotherapy or diathermy is considered a low-risk, minimally invasive procedure when performed by trained professionals. Both treatments are designed to precisely target the lesion while minimising damage to the surrounding tissue. At Body Perfection Clinic, every lesion is carefully assessed during consultation to ensure the treatment is safe and suitable before proceeding.

The CryoPen is an advanced cryotherapy device that emits a fine, controlled jet of nitrous oxide at approximately minus 89 degrees. This allows your practitioner to work with millimetre precision, targeting only the lesion while protecting the surrounding skin. The extreme cold causes the blood vessels within the cherry angioma to freeze, collapse and gradually be absorbed by the body.

Cherry Angioma Removal at Body Perfection Clinic is performed using advanced CryoPen cryotherapy and diathermy technology. Cryotherapy works by delivering a precise jet of extremely cold nitrous oxide to freeze and destroy the targeted blood vessels, while diathermy uses controlled heat generated by a high-frequency electrical current to coagulate and seal the vessels. Both treatments are designed to effectively remove the lesion while minimising disruption to the surrounding healthy skin.
