Expert Cherry Angioma Treatment
Cherry Angioma Treatment
What is Cherry Angioma Treatment?
Cherry angiomas are small red or purple bumps that can appear anywhere on the skin, but most commonly occur on the trunk of the body. They are harmless, but many people choose to have them removed for cosmetic reasons. At Hawaii Natural Medicine, we offer cherry angioma treatment using Alma Harmony, a state-of-the-art laser technology.
How does it work?
Our cherry angioma treatments utilize the Alma Harmony VascuPen, a technology that allows for precise targeting of cherry angiomas. The laser energy is absorbed by the blood vessels in the angioma, causing them to shrink and eventually disappear. This process is non-invasive and leaves minimal scarring.

What Causes Cherry Angiomas?
Cherry angiomas are primarily linked to aging, with their prevalence increasing as individuals grow older. They are most common in people over the age of 30. While the exact cause is not entirely understood, genetic factors are believed to play a significant role, as they often run in families. Hormonal changes, such as those occurring during pregnancy, may also contribute to the development of cherry angiomas. Additionally, exposure to certain chemicals and environmental factors might influence their appearance. Despite their unclear origins, cherry angiomas are benign, posing no significant health risks, although they can be of cosmetic concern for some individuals.
Disclaimer: Alma VascuPen Treatment & Skin Type Eligibility
The Alma Harmony VascuPen treatment is recommended only for individuals with Fitzpatrick Skin Types I-III. This is due to the way the laser interacts with melanin (skin pigment), which can increase the risk of adverse effects on darker skin tones.
Why is this Treatment Not Recommended for Skin Types IV-VI?
Darker skin tones naturally have higher melanin levels, which can absorb excess laser energy, leading to:
- Burns or excessive heat damage
- Hyperpigmentation (dark spots)
- Hypopigmentation (light spots or loss of pigment)
- Scarring or prolonged skin irritation
Consultation & Safety Precautions
Before undergoing treatment, all clients will be evaluated by a trained provider to determine eligibility. If you have a darker skin tone (Fitzpatrick IV-VI), alternative treatments that are safer and more effective for your skin type may be recommended. By booking this treatment, you acknowledge that you have been informed of the risks, limitations, and suitability based on your skin type. If you have any concerns, please contact our office for a consultation before proceeding.
