Skin care treatment options for Cherry Hemangiomas may include shave excision, electrocautery or laser based technology. Cutera Nd:YAG 1064nm Laser is very effective for treatment as well as the Acutip500 (500nm - 635nm).

Cherry hemangiomas are the most common cutaneous vascular proliferations. They are often widespread and appear as tiny cherry red papules or macules.

Involvement of cherry hemangiomas is limited to the skin. These benign lesions are formed by a proliferation of dilated venules.
