Cherry Angiomas: Expertise and Treatment Options with Dr. Gary Jayne Rothfeld
Cherry angiomas, also referred to as senile angiomas or Campbell de Morgan spots, are benign vascular lesions that present as small, bright red papules on the skin's surface. Despite their benign nature, these lesions can often be a cosmetic concern for many individuals. At the Cherry Angioma Treatment Center, we offer state-of-the-art treatment options designed to effectively address these vascular lesions under the expert care of Dr. Gary Jayne Rothfeld, an acclaimed dermatologist and cosmetic surgeon.

1. Laser Therapy
Dr. Rothfeld utilizes advanced laser technology, including the Pulsed Dye Laser (PDL), to effectively treat cherry angiomas. This method involves a concentrated beam of yellow light that targets the blood vessels within the angioma. The light is converted into heat, destroying the vessel while preserving the surrounding skin. The procedure is minimally invasive, typically requiring 1-3 treatments, and is well-tolerated by patients with minimal discomfort.
2. Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy, or cryosurgery, is another effective treatment offered. This technique involves the application of liquid nitrogen to freeze and destroy the cherry angioma. The procedure is swift and generally requires only a single session. Cryotherapy is favored for its simplicity and minimal post-treatment care requirements, resulting in rapid healing with a low risk of infection.
3. Electrocautery
Electrocautery uses an electric current delivered by a fine probe to cauterize and remove cherry angiomas. This procedure is particularly useful for larger lesions. The technique involves placing a grounding pad to protect the patient and effectively destroy the targeted blood vessels. Post-procedure, some patients may experience minor discomfort, but the results are usually satisfactory.
4. Electrodesiccation
Electrodesiccation is a form of electrosurgery where a fine needle delivers a small electric current to seal off blood vessels within the angioma. This method is effective for treating small vessels and may require multiple sessions for complete resolution.
5. Surgical Excision
For larger or more irregularly shaped cherry angiomas, surgical excision may be recommended. This procedure involves removing the lesion surgically and closing the wound with sutures. While it may leave a small scar, it ensures complete removal of the angioma.
Post-Treatment Care
Post-treatment care is essential for optimal healing. Dr. Rothfeld recommends applying a moisturizer such as Aquaphor Ointment or Vaseline Jelly 2-3 times daily to protect the skin and accelerate healing. Sun protection is crucial to prevent pigmentary changes. Makeup can be resumed starting on day two, and any crusting should not be picked. Bruising, if present, generally resolves within 3-10 days.
Conclusion
Cherry angiomas are benign but often sought for removal due to cosmetic reasons. Dr. Gary Jayne Rothfeld, with his unparalleled expertise and advanced treatment methodologies, offers comprehensive care for these vascular lesions. His commitment to innovation and patient satisfaction ensures that individuals seeking treatment receive the highest standard of care.
