What happens to a cherry angioma after V-beam treatment?

Kro0Mar 16, 2015
I had a Vbeam procedure for a small cherry angioma 4 days ago. The treated area bruised immediately after treatment. Yesterday I noticed a bump forming in the area of the bruise. Is this bump forming a part of the treatment process? Does an angioma crust and fall off or simply fade after Vbeam? Thank you.

I suggest going to a laser expert as this can be improved but requires a combination approach, vbeam alone is effective but only for a very short time and doesnt help the texture just the color.  Best, Dr. Emer.

The VBeam Perfecta is an excellent machine that is reliable and very effective for vascular type problems. I have used the VBeam and have seen excellent results with minimum complications. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

You need to see a laser fellowship trained physician.  There is no reason you cant get a full leg treatment or with multiple lasers in tandum to get a better result.  Seek the advice of an expert.  Best, Dr. Emer.

I suggest a long pulsed laser by someone who is experienced.  Avoid any sclerotherapy.  Best, Dr. Emer.

There are purpuric and subpurpuric settings on the VBeam laser. Subpurpuric does not cause bruising. If you are concerned about bruising, consider the Limelight IPL or a subpurpuric setting on the VBeam. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
