Different Sizes Of Cherry Angiomas

Are there different types or sizes of cherry angiomas? I have some that are tiny pinpoint spots and a couple that are larger, maybe four or five millimeters across. Does the size affect the removal process or the cost? Just trying to understand if there's any difference in how these are approached based on their characteristics.

Yes, cherry angiomas can definitely vary in size. They typically range from about a pinpoint size up to around a quarter of an inch in diameter, though occasionally they can be larger. The size can affect both the treatment approach and potentially the pricing, depending on how the provider structures their fees. Smaller ones often require less treatment time and fewer laser pulses. Larger ones might need a bit more attention to ensure complete removal. Some places charge per lesion regardless of size, while others might have different pricing tiers based on size or charge by the amount of time needed. The location on your body can also be a factor in how they're treated.

I had a mix of sizes when I got mine removed - some were tiny little dots and a few were more substantial. The practitioner treated them all in the same session and it really didn't seem to make much difference in terms of the procedure itself. Maybe an extra second or two of treatment time for the larger ones. The pricing structure where I went was based on the number of angiomas rather than their individual sizes, which seemed pretty fair. All of them healed at about the same rate regardless of their original size. This article does a good job explaining how different characteristics of angiomas are handled: https://bellasanamedspa.com/blog/angioma-removal-safe-and-effective-removal - it might help you understand what to expect. I'd recommend asking about pricing structure during your consultation so you know exactly what you're dealing with cost-wise.
