Laser vs Electrocautery for Angiomas

Quick question for anyone who's had cherry angiomas treated - did you go with laser or electrocautery? I've got a consultation coming up and I'm trying to figure out which route to take. My main concern is scarring since a couple of these spots are on visible areas like my chest and arms.

Both methods can work, but laser is generally considered more advanced. Electrocautery basically burns the angioma off using an electric current, which can be effective but sometimes leaves small scars or changes in skin texture. Laser removal of angiomas uses focused light energy to break down the blood vessels, and it's typically more controlled. Most people see better cosmetic outcomes with laser, especially for spots in visible areas. Recovery time is usually faster too.

Yeah, I'd definitely recommend going the laser route if that's an option for you. I had mine done with laser angioma removal in Chicago and the results were excellent. The treated areas healed within a week or two, and you can barely tell anything was there. One thing to keep in mind is that you might need more than one session depending on the size and depth of the angiomas. The practitioner I saw explained everything really clearly. Here's a good resource that covers the safety and effectiveness: https://bellasanamedspa.com/blog/angioma-removal-safe-and-effective-removal.
