I have fair, thin skin and noticed a few new red moles that had developed during my first pregnancy. I wasn’t apprehensive about them because my doctor reassured me they were normal and told me things like pregnancy could bring them on. Hormones can cause these little red spots, also known as cherry angiomas, so I figured that was why I had some. They appear primarily on your trunk area, are noncancerous, and are basically a cluster of blood vessels. He also told me they were nothing to worry about and weren’t cancerous, which put my mind at ease.
I had three kids in three years, and with each pregnancy, my red mole collection grew
The laser turned them dark red right away
Then, after a day or so, they were purple. After a few weeks, they just fell off, not even leaving the slightest mark behind. They were just gone.
I booked another half-hour session to get rid of the rest of them, and in about six weeks, all my red marks were completely gone and there weren't even any scars.
It’s so much easier shaving my legs, and I have to admit, I love looking down and seeing how much clearer my skin is. I no longer have to be careful while taking off a bra, or worry about the moles getting snagged on my clothing, which is freeing.
If I start getting more, I will definitely make another appointment and have them removed – it’s so satisfying to watch them fade away. The most important thing to remember is that if you have your cherry angiomas removed, you need to stay out of the sun for a good six weeks — so having the procedure done in fall or winter is probably best. But whether you have a few cherry angiomas or a lot, I can’t recommend this procedure enough.
