Nd:YAG laser
Alternative Names: Neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet laser
The Nd:YAG laser (neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet laser, 1064 nm) is an effective treatment for cherry angiomas, particularly those that are larger, deeper, or resistant to other treatments. It works by penetrating deep into the skin, coagulating the blood vessels within the angioma, and allowing the body to absorb them over time.
It effectively targets thicker or darker red cherry angiomas by heating and collapsing their blood vessels. The treated angioma darkens, scabs, and fades over 1-4 weeks, with minimal downtime and mild discomfort. The procedure takes only a few minutes per lesion, typically requiring 1-3 sessions, and is safe for all skin tones with a low risk of scarring.
