Cherry Angioma

Red moles, or cherry angiomas, are common skin growths that can develop on most areas of your body. They’re also known as senile angiomas or Campbell de Morgan spots. They’re usually found on people aged 30 and older. The collection of small blood vessels inside a cherry angioma give them a reddish appearance.

Cryotherapy or Cryosurgery is a highly effective and safe procedure that is used to freeze and destroy benign skin lesions. It uses liquefied nitrous oxide to destroy the tissue by freezing the cell fluid which in turn forms ice shards that rupture the cell membrane in turn destroying the cell and the lesion.

Cryotherapy is beneficial as it is quicker than other treatments and patients can be in and out in seconds. It requires no anesthesia and has minimal scarring. There are no limitations on activities (except protecting the area from damage or abrasion) and patients can return to normal activities after treatments).

The CryoPen is a unique pen like device allowing for more targeted treatments, meaning no healthy tissue will be affected during treatments.

TREATMENT METHOD

First Freeze Cycle 

The clinician will hold the applicator as close as possible to the lesion, and move it quickly towards and away from it. Depending on the lesion size and depth, the treatment could be 1 to 30 seconds.

Thaw 

After the first freezing cycle, the tissue will be allowed to thaw for about 30 seconds

Second Freeze Cycle 

The second freeze cycle will start. The tissue will freeze faster than during the first freezing cycle. Cryo Peno Cryotherapy can treat all common benign skin lesions including age spots, warts, skin tags, verrucas, cherry angiomas and many more.

As we age, collagen production in our skin decreases, resulting in fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes, forehead, cheeks and around the mouth.
