ANGIOMAS
An angioma is a common, benign (i.e. non-cancerous), skin growth made up of blood vessels. They commonly appear on the torso, arms and shoulders, especially as people age. While they are medically harmless, many people choose to remove them for cosmetic reasons.
Angiomas tend to increase in number over time. For that reason, many people like to treat them early to maintain an even skin tone.
How do we remove Angiomas at Persona?
We use diathermy to remove angiomas safely, and with minimal discomfort. Diathermy is a non-invasive procedure that uses high frequency electrical currents to generate heat. The heat targets the blood vessels within the angioma, causing them to dry out and break down.
Unlike surgical removals or freezing methods, diathermy offers precison and faster recovery. As a result, it’s an ideal choice for small vascular lesions.
How does the treatment work?
The skin is gentley cleansed around the treatment area prior to the procedure taking place. A fine tipped probe delivers a precise burst of heat directly into tha angioma. The heat coagulates the blood vessels, causing the angioma to shrink, darken, and evenyually fall off.
The procedure typically takes a few minutes per lesion. The sensation is usually described as a brief sting. There is no need for any anesthesia and you can return to your normal routine immediately afterwards.
What to expect after treatment:
In the first 24-48 hours the angioma may form a small scab, which is part of the normal healing process. Over the next 7-10 days, the area typically clears as the lesion falls off naturally.
Although individual healing times can vary slightly, most people notice improved skin within 1-2 weeks.
When to expect results:
Most clients see results after one session but in some cases, more than one session may be necessary.
To maintain results, we recommend avoiding sun exposure on the treated area and following the aftercare provided.
