How should cherry angioma look after laser treatment?

Question

Hi, I had a laser patch test on a cherry angioma on my face ( I think the laser was NG: lag laser). The area looks like a tiny black line, is that how it should look and how long is this meant to last please ? Thank you so much for any replies.

This is difficult to answer without pictures. It may appear darker, almost black. If you have questions about your treatment, I recommend following up with your Doctor. Cherry angiomas can be improved with V-Beam. Best, Dr. Emer

It should look dark black or dark after treatment for cherry angioma. It can last couple of weeks. 
I usually find that one treatment is enough for most people when using the Excel V or the V beam laser. 
Best Wishes

After laser treatment, the cherry angioma will usually look blackish or like a scab. This can last a few days to a few weeks and should be allowed to heal on its own without picking at it.  Best wishes, Mary Beth Mudd

The angioma should look dark or black. It should be smaller in size somewhat. It will gradually either fall off or be absorbed. Sometimes a second treatment is needed.
