What are cherry angiomas?
Cherry angiomas are small, bright red to purple dots or bumps made of tiny clusters of blood vessels. They are benign, very common after age 30, and often appear on the torso, arms and face.
How Liza treats them
Precision thermocoagulation delivers controlled energy to each angioma through a very fine probe. The red colour typically fades right away or over the following days as the area heals.
- Professional assessment of every spot before anything is treated
- 5% lidocaine topical anesthetic for comfort
- Precision thermocoagulation, no cutting
- Ice to soothe, then clear aftercare instructions
- Recommended aftercare: Hale Derma HOCl post-treatment spray
Before & after

Immediately afterHealing & aftercare
A small dry spot may form and flake away over one to two weeks. Larger angiomas may need a second session about 4 to 6 weeks later.
Knowing when to refer
Moles, cysts and suspicious lesions are outside esthetic practice, medical esthetics included. Any spot that is changing, irregular or unusual is referred to a physician or dermatologist before any cosmetic treatment. Where there is any uncertainty, Liza will not treat without written confirmation from your physician that the lesion is benign and suitable.
An informed client is an empowered client.
Scope of practice in BC →Liza earned her esthetics college diploma and licence in 2000, while BC’s former Cosmetologists Act was in force; BBB has verified her diploma. Since 2003, no licence has been required to practise esthetics in BC, and “medical esthetician” (or “medical aesthetician”) is not a regulated title. BC regulates the premises instead: Cantik’s studio is inspected every year by Fraser Health.
Diagnosing skin conditions and removing moles or cysts are outside esthetic practice, medical esthetics included. These are referred to a physician or dermatologist.
Liza uses the Silhouet-Tone VascuLyse 2G®, a Health Canada-licensed device. You have the right to ask what device will be used on your skin and whether it is licensed by Health Canada.
Who will perform my treatment? What training do they hold? Is the device licensed by Health Canada? Will you refer anything outside your scope?
Cherry Angioma Removal FAQ
Are cherry angiomas dangerous?
Cherry angiomas are benign. Any spot that is changing, bleeding, irregular or unusual should be checked by a physician first, and Liza will refer you if needed.
Do cherry angiomas come back after treatment?
A treated angioma does not usually return, but new ones can appear over time.
How many cherry angiomas can be treated in one session?
Several are usually treated in a 60-minute, $210 session. The number depends on size and location.
Does it leave a mark?
With correct technique and aftercare, the risk is minimized. Picking the scab is the most common cause of lasting marks.
