ANGIOMA AND HAEMANGIOMAS (BLOOD SPOTS)
Angiomas and haemangiomas are benign vascular lesions that appear as red or purple spots on the skin. Angiomas are small, cherry-red growths that are usually harmless, while haemangiomas are larger, raised red marks that often develop in infancy. While both types of lesions are non-cancerous, individuals may seek removal for cosmetic reasons or if the lesions become bothersome.
Anaesthesia
Local anaesthesia may be used to ensure comfort during the procedure.
Side Effects
Possible mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the treatment site, which typically resolves quickly.
Treatment Time
Approximately 15-30 minutes, depending on the number and size of lesions being treated.
Target Areas
Commonly found on the face, neck, chest, and other areas of the body.
Downtime
Minimal; most patients can return to normal activities immediately after treatment.
