Cherry Angionoma Removal

Q: How does FreezPen® remove cherry angiomas?

At Pillarstone Skin & Co., we use FreezPen, an advanced precision cryotherapy device that delivers a controlled micro-jet of nitrous oxide directly into the lesion. The intense cold freezes and destroys the vascular tissue at its core, allowing the angioma to gradually shrink and disappear as the skin heals.

Precision Removal of Benign Vascular Lesions

No cutting. No burning. Minimal downtime.

Cherry angiomas are small, bright red vascular spots that often resemble freckles or moles. These common benign lesions are formed by clusters of tiny blood vessels and typically appear after age 40. They are most frequently found on the arms, abdomen, back, and neck.

While completely harmless, cherry angiomas may gradually increase in size or become raised over time. For many clients, they are not a medical concern — but an aesthetic one.

At Pillarstone Skin & Co., we remove cherry angiomas using FreezPen, an advanced precision cryotherapy device designed to safely and effectively treat benign skin lesions without damaging surrounding tissue.

Why Choose FreezPen® for Cherry Angioma Removal?

What Causes Cherry Angiomas?

During treatment, you may feel a brief cold sensation as the angioma is precisely frozen. The lesion may darken temporarily before gradually shrinking or flaking away over the following days to weeks.
Most clients resume normal activities immediately.
Each appointment includes professional screening to ensure your lesion is appropriate for cryotherapy treatment.

Cherry Angioma Removal with FreezPen®

What is a cherry angioma?

A cherry angioma is a small, bright red benign vascular lesion made up of tiny clusters of blood vessels. They are very common in adults over 40 and are completely non-cancerous. While medically harmless, many clients choose removal for cosmetic reasons.

How does FreezPen® remove cherry angiomas?

At Pillarstone Skin & Co., we use FreezPen, an advanced precision cryotherapy device that delivers a controlled micro-jet of nitrous oxide directly into the lesion. The intense cold freezes and destroys the vascular tissue at its core, allowing the angioma to gradually shrink and disappear as the skin heals.

Is cherry angioma removal painful?

Most clients describe the sensation as a brief cold or stinging feeling that lasts only seconds. No anesthesia is required, and discomfort is minimal.

Will there be scarring?

When properly assessed and treated, FreezPen carries a low risk of scarring. Because the device precisely targets the lesion without damaging surrounding tissue, healing is typically smooth and refined.

How long does it take to heal?

Healing time varies depending on the size and location of the angioma. Typically, the area may darken slightly before gradually fading over the course of several days to a few weeks.
Most clients return to normal activities immediately.

How many treatments will I need?

Many small cherry angiomas respond well to a single treatment. Larger or more raised lesions may require an additional session for optimal results.
A professional consultation in our White Rock or Cloverdale clinic will determine the best approach for your skin.

Are cherry angiomas dangerous?

No. Cherry angiomas are benign and not cancerous. However, any new or changing skin lesion should always be professionally assessed before treatment.

Is FreezPen® safe?

Yes. FreezPen cryotherapy is considered a safe and effective method for removing benign skin lesions when performed by a trained professional. Every treatment at Pillarstone Skin & Co. begins with proper screening to ensure suitability.

Who is not a candidate for treatment?

Clients with suspicious or irregular lesions will be referred for medical evaluation prior to any cosmetic removal. Your skin health and safety are always our priority.
