Veins Skin Tags and Cherry Angiomas

Our versatile laser treatment system can effectively address various skin concerns, including skin tags, spider veins, and cherry angiomas. 

Skin tags are small, benign growths that typically appear on areas of friction, such as the neck, armpits, and eyelids.

The XEO system can use a specific laser to precisely target and remove skin tags. The laser energy vaporizes the skin tag tissue without affecting the surrounding skin.

Spider veins (telangiectasia) are small, dilated blood vessels that appear close to the surface of the skin, often on the legs and face. The XEO platform uses specific wavelengths of light to target the blood vessels in spider veins. The laser energy is absorbed by the hemoglobin in the blood, causing the veins to depending on the extent of the condition, multiple sessions may be required for optimal results.

Cherry angiomas are small, benign vascular growths that can appear anywhere on the body, typically as small red or purple bumps. Similar to spider veins, cherry angiomas can be treated using a laser that specifically targets the blood vessels within the angioma. The laser energy causes the blood vessels to collapse and be reabsorbed by the body.The procedure is non-invasive and usually requires no downtime.
