GENERAL Blood Spot / Cherry Angioma QUESTIONS:
What are blood spots (cherry angiomas)?
Cherry angiomas, also known as blood spots, are small, bright red, or purplish skin growths caused by an overgrowth of blood vessels. They are usually round, slightly raised, and can appear anywhere on the body, most commonly on the torso, arms, and legs. These spots are harmless but can be a cosmetic concern for many people.
What Causes Cherry Angiomas to Form?
The exact cause of cherry angiomas is unclear, but they are linked to:
- Genetics: A family history of cherry angiomas increases the likelihood of developing them.
- Aging: They commonly appear after the age of 30.
- Hormonal changes: Pregnancy or hormonal fluctuations can sometimes trigger them.
- Sun exposure: Prolonged UV exposure may contribute to their development.
- Certain medical conditions or medications: Rarely, cherry angiomas can be associated with conditions or medications that affect the blood vessels.
Are Cherry Angiomas Dangerous to My Health?
No, cherry angiomas are not dangerous and are considered benign growths. They do not pose a health risk and are not associated with cancer or other serious medical conditions. However, if a cherry angioma bleeds frequently, changes in appearance, or becomes painful, it’s advisable to consult a professional for evaluation.
Can Blood Spots Grow or Change Over Time?
Yes, cherry angiomas can grow larger or increase in number over time. They may also become darker in colour. These changes are typically harmless but can make the spots more noticeable. If there is a sudden or significant change in appearance, it’s worth having them checked.
Are Cherry Angiomas Hereditary?
Yes, genetics play a role in the development of cherry angiomas. If close family members have them, you may be more likely to develop them as well.
Do Cherry Angiomas Occur More Often as You Age?
Yes, cherry angiomas are more common with age. They often begin to appear after the age of 30 and become more prevalent as you get older. This is a normal part of the aging process.
Are Blood Spots Permanent if Left Untreated?
Yes, cherry angiomas are permanent if left untreated. They do not go away on their own and may increase in size or number over time. Professional removal is the only way to eliminate them effectively.
Blood Spot REMOVAL QUESTIONS:
What Technology Do You Use for Blood Spot Removal at ProSkin Clinic?
At ProSkin Clinic, we use advanced medical-grade laser technology and electrolysis for cherry angioma (blood spot) removal.
These methods are precise, safe, and effective, targeting the blood vessels responsible for the angiomas without damaging the surrounding skin.
Our medical-grade equipment is also used in NHS and medical centers worldwide, ensuring high standards of safety and effectiveness.
How Does Laser or Electrolysis Removal Work for Cherry Angiomas?
- Laser Removal: The laser emits a specific wavelength of light that is absorbed by the blood vessels in the cherry angioma. This heat destroys the blood vessels, causing the angioma to shrink and eventually disappear as the body reabsorbs the tissue.
- Electrolysis: A fine probe delivers a small electrical current to the angioma, coagulating the blood vessels and destroying the growth. The body then naturally eliminates the treated tissue.
Both methods are non-invasive and provide excellent results with minimal downtime.
Does Blood Spot Removal Hurt?
Most clients report mild discomfort, often described as a light snapping sensation, similar to a rubber band against the skin. For electrolysis, there may be a slight stinging feeling.
How Long Does Each Session Take?
The length of the session depends on the number and size of the blood spots being treated. On average:
- Single spots: Treatment can take as little as 5 to 10 minutes.
- Multiple spots: Sessions may last up to 30 minutes.
How Many Sessions Will I Need for Complete Removal?
In most cases, 1 to 2 sessions are sufficient to completely remove a cherry angioma. For larger or more stubborn spots, additional sessions may be required.
Can Cherry Angiomas Be Removed From Sensitive Areas (e.g., Face, Neck)?
Yes, cherry angiomas can safely be removed from sensitive areas like the face and neck. Our advanced technology allows for precise targeting, ensuring effective treatment while minimising any risk to surrounding skin.
Is the Treatment Suitable for All Skin Types and Tones?
Yes, both laser and electrolysis treatments are safe and effective for all skin types and tones. At ProSkin Clinic, we tailor the treatment to your unique skin type, ensuring optimal results with minimal risk of pigmentation changes or scarring.
Can Cherry Angiomas Come Back After Removal?
Once a cherry angioma is successfully removed, it will not return in the same spot. However, new cherry angiomas can develop over time in other areas of the body due to factors like aging, genetics, or sun exposure. While the treated spot remains clear, regular skin monitoring and professional care can help manage new occurrences.
How Do I Know If My Blood Spot Is Suitable for Removal?
Most cherry angiomas are suitable for removal, especially if they are:
- Cosmetically concerning: Located in visible areas like the face, neck, or chest.
- Irritating: Causing discomfort due to friction with clothing or jewelry.
- Bleeding frequently: If they are prone to bleeding or irritation.
During your consultation at ProSkin Clinic, our expert clinicians will assess the blood spot to confirm it is a cherry angioma and discuss the best treatment method for safe and effective removal. If there are any unusual characteristics, we may recommend further evaluation to rule out other conditions.
Pre Treatment Questions
Do I Need a Consultation Before the Procedure?
A consultation is not necessary, you can book straight in for treatment, however we do offer complimentary advanced removal consultations.
During the consultation, our clinician will assess your Blood Spot to confirm the diagnosis and determine the best removal method for your needs. We’ll also discuss any concerns, explain the procedure, and provide personalised recommendations.
How Do I Prepare for a Blood Spot Removal Treatment?
To prepare for your treatment:
- Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect the treatment area from direct sunlight for at least 2 weeks before the procedure. Use SPF 30+ sunscreen if necessary.
- Keep the Area Clean: On the day of treatment, ensure the area is free of makeup, lotions, or oils.
- Avoid Harsh Products: Stop using retinoids, acids, or exfoliants in the treatment area for at least 7 days prior.
- Inform Your Clinician of Medications: Share any medications or medical conditions during your consultation.
Are There Any Medications or Skincare Products I Should Avoid Before the Treatment?
Yes, avoid:
- Blood-thinning medications (e.g., aspirin, ibuprofen) unless prescribed by your doctor.
- Topical retinoids or products containing AHAs/BHAs that may irritate the skin. Your clinician will provide detailed guidance specific to your circumstances.
Can I Undergo Blood Spot Removal While Pregnant or Breastfeeding?
It is generally recommended to postpone blood spot removal during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless medically necessary.
post Treatment QUESTIONS:
What Should I Expect Immediately After the Procedure?
Immediately after the procedure, you may notice:
- Mild redness or swelling in the treated area.
- A darkened or crusted appearance if electrolysis or laser was used. This is part of the healing process and will fade over time.
How Long Does It Take to Heal After Blood Spot Removal?
Most clients heal within 7 to 10 days, with full skin regeneration occurring over 4 to 6 weeks. Healing time may vary depending on the size and location of the blood spot.
Will There Be Redness or Swelling After the Procedure?
Yes, mild redness or swelling is common and usually resolves within a few hours to a day. Larger spots or more sensitive areas may experience slight swelling for a few days.
Will There Be Scarring After Blood Spot Removal?
When performed by trained professionals, the risk of scarring is minimal. Proper aftercare, such as avoiding picking or scratching the area, helps ensure smooth healing and reduces the likelihood of scarring.
What Aftercare Is Required Following the Treatment?
Aftercare includes:
- Keep the Area Clean: Gently cleanse with water and mild soap.
- Avoid Picking: Let any scabs or crusts fall off naturally.
- Protect from Sun Exposure: Use sunscreen with SPF 30+ to prevent pigmentation changes.
- Apply Healing Cream: If recommended, use a soothing or antibacterial ointment to promote healing.
avoid:
- Swimming, saunas, or hot tubs for at least 48 hours to prevent irritation or infection.
- Vigorous exercise or activities causing excessive sweating for 24–48 hours.
- Direct sun exposure on the treated area until fully healed.
How Soon Will I See Results After Blood Spot Removal?
You may notice results immediately after the treatment, but full results become apparent as the area heals over 1 to 2 weeks.
The treated spot may form a scab, and as it heals, the skin underneath may appear pink or slightly sensitive. In some cases, the lesion may be completely gone, while others might appear much lighter and require an additional treatment for optimal results.
With proper aftercare, the skin will gradually return to its natural tone, leaving a clearer complexion.
