Cause
Cherry angiomas appear spontaneously in many people in middle age but can also, although
less common, occur in young people. They can also occur in an aggressive eruptive manner
in any age. The underlying cause for the development of cherry angiomas is not understood,
much because of a lack of interest in the subject. This is probably because they rarely are
caused by an internal malignancy.
Treatments
On the rare occasions that they require removal, traditionally cryosurgery or electro
surgery have been used. More recently pulsed dye laser or intense pulsed light (IPL)
treatment has also been used. The use of the Skin Classic simplifies the Rx of this
minor irregularity. The size of the probe (F12) is the key for causing the desired
effect without peripheral skin/cell damage due to the nature direct HF energy
specifically directed to the CA. A low power setting ( 20-30) combined with
inheritant moisture (blood) creates an excellent setting for local dessication of this
irregularity with the STATIC TAP METHOD, which is touching the CA just long
enough for a color change. Upon Rx of the entire cherry angioma, there will be a
crust similar to that of a picked pimple. This will shed in approximately 7-10 days.
The client is to use a moisturizing sun block after treatments.
Prognosis
In most clients, the number and size of cherry angiomas increases with advancing
age. They are harmless, except in very rare cases that involve a sudden appearance
of many angiomas, which can be a sign of a developing internal malignancy.
FAQ?
It doesn’t seem to change in color when I bar
ely touch the skin. What am I doing wrong?
Typically you are just not actually touching the skin. Use your magnifiers to visualize the
probe touching the skin and be patient. Remember to hold. hold. hold.
