About the procedure

Hemangiomas, cherry angiomas and senile angiomas are benign vascular tumors which most commonly present on the skin on the face or in the mouth. If located superficially they are usually removed by a laser. The number of sessions necessary to completely eliminate a hemangioma depends on its size (for smaller ones 1-2 sessions are sufficient). 

There are no limitations before and after the procedure and you can continue with your daily activities immediately.

How does it work?

When a laser beam is directed towards a vascular formation, it absorbs in the haemoglobin. This causes a heat effect. The heat coagulates the tissue and destroys the vascular lesion. In the case of small capillaries the vessel simply dissapears. When a vessel or vascular formations is bigger, a small bruise forms, which is then removed by the immune system in the following days or weeks. The suitable time to perform the treatment is between autumn and spring.
