However, treatment is recommended to remove them when they disrupt body functions or other things.

Hemangioma Treatment Procedures at Our Clinic:
We use the following treatment methods at Harley Clinic Riyadh to treat these bumps caused due to blood vessels:
-
Laser Treatments:
Laser methods are very effective in treating and reducing the appearance of bright red spots. The tiny hemangiomas are usually treated in a single session while those of bigger size require more time and precision. The blood vessels containing hemoglobin soak up the laser energy. The laser also targets these blood vessels while reducing the appearance of the red bumps, and not targeting any surrounding area.
-
Cryosurgery:
During this method, the doctor uses low temperature to treat the hemangiomas. It is an effective method for getting rid of the tiny red marks. The wound becomes lighter with time, but the wound may require 3, to 4 weeks to heal.
-
Sclerotherapy:
During this treatment, the doctor injects sclerosing agents. These agents cause damage to the targetted blood vessel while providing long-lasting outcomes.
Post-Treatment Instructions:
During the recovery days, patients must:
- Try to prevent yourself from going under too much sun.
