Cherry spots or cherry angiomas are small, round pinhead like lesions or red/dark red bumps on your skin which are harmless. They commonly appear after the age of 30. They are more often found on the body, arms or legs. Your Doctor may also have referred to them as Campbell de Morgan spots. If you are looking for a quick and effective solution in Flintshire area of North Wales,  then both Cryotherapy or Advanced Electrolysis are effective treatments. 

Cryotherapy using nitrous oxide is a proven method to safely remove cherry spots without cutting or burning the skin. This advanced treatment is not only faster than other methods but also minimises the risk of scarring. The extreme cold causes the blood vessels within the cherry spot to constrict and eventually collapse. The procedure is designed for your comfort, with only a slight stinging sensation during treatment. The treated area will go darker, then form a scab, which over 4-6 weeks will fall off, revealing clear skin underneath. It is not uncommon for a blister to form in the first 48-hours after treatment. This should not be burst and will clear by itself. 

Multiple cherry spots can be treated in one simple consultation saving you time and ensuring effective results. During your initial consultation you will be provided with a personalised treatment plan with an estimated cost. 

Advanced electrolysis is also a safe and effective way to remove cherry spots, which uses an electric current through a very fine needle to immediately cauterise the tiny blood capillaries which have burst under the skin. The blood residing in the veins beneath the skin’s surface is reabsorbed into the body, causing the red appearance to vanish. Your cherry spot will be removed instantly, but it is possible that you’ll notice a little swelling immediately and the area treated may also appear redder than usual. All of this is normal and will go away within a day or two. During this time some scabs may form, but they will come away of their own accord. Keep in mind that it may take a few weeks for the treated area to return to the same colouring as the surrounding skin.

Local anaesthetic will be injected or applied, subject to suitability, therefore the treatment will be painless. 

As with any cut or wound, there is a low risk of scarring, especially if the wound becomes infected or the scab is picked. The area will remain red until completely healed, as with any other surgical wound or cut/graze. Some aftercare restrictions apply due to open wound being present.

Multiple cherry spots can be removed in one simple consultation, saving you time and ensuring effective results. During your initial consultation you will be provided with a personalised treatment plan with an estimated cost.
