Vbeam for cherry angioma - will this work? (photos)

Question

I got cherry angiomas when I was pregnant and I’m looking to have them removed. Due to one of them being above my eye/below my brow I am hoping there is a laser option like VBeam that would work in removing them. I do have concern that the placement could be an issue and laser treatment would not be possible. Please let me know if there is any insight on this.

Vbeam laser is an excellent modality for patients who have rosacea, blushing of the skin, facial and body telangiectasia, spider veins, redness, post surgical redness, and skin flushing. It is a safe procedure that can be used at varying depths to help treat micro blood vessels in the skin. We also use it in our office for facial skin inflammation, keloids, and hypertrophic scarring. It is an important part of scar therapy. Vbeam can be combined with chemical peels and other lasers, but experience with the treatment is essential. The Vbeam laser does not affect deeper tissue. Schedule a consultation with an expert in Vbeam and you will find it to be an excellent modality for many skin types.

Your lesion and location makes the vbeam laser one of the best options. IPL is best not used near the eyes and Yag might be too strong used here.

Hi there,
It is definitely possible its hard to tell from this photo.  It may be a bit to large.
Have a proper evaluation with a Dermatologist as it may need to be excised.

Best of luck!
