Hemangioma Treatment in NYC & Long Island

Hemangiomas are generally harmless, benign (non-cancerous) tumors with abnormal blood vessel collection. Depending on the type, they typically appear within a couple of weeks after birth and most commonly on the skin or internal organs.

ALIZADEH COSMOPLASTIC SURGERY IS HERE TO HELP

Hemangiomas often go away independently without any medical intervention. However, some cases may warrant treatment due to complications or cosmetic concerns. In such instances, Dr. Alizadeh and our Alizadeh Cosmoplastic Surgery team can address your concerns with laser rejuvenation, giving you beautifully smooth skin, free of hemangiomas.

WHAT ARE HEMANGIOMAS?

If you suffered from severe acne breakouts, your skin might now have an uneven texture, pits, be rough, or have discolored areas. Our custom acne scar treatments are geared to restore a more even skin surface and tone so that you can live your life with confidence.

SUPERFICIAL HEMANGIOMAS

Red or pink raised area on the skin
Soft, spongy texture
Can be flat or raised

DEEP HEMANGIOMAS

Blue or purple bruise-like discoloration
Firm texture
Swelling or mass beneath the skin

It's important to note that hemangiomas' size, shape, and color can vary significantly, and their growth pattern is unpredictable. To accurately identify deep hemangiomas, your doctor might recommend additional tests such as:

Ultrasound imaging (ultrasonography): This painless, non-invasive test uses high-frequency sound waves to create an image of the affected area and detect any deep blood vessels.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): While less common, an MRI may be used for a more detailed view of the area, especially if vital structures such as organs or facial features are involved.

TYPES OF HEMANGIOMA

Beyond superficial and deep, there are other types of hemangiomas. Some of the more common categories include the following:

Type

Infantile Hemangioma
Cavernous Hemangioma
Capillary Hemangioma

Common Locations

Face, scalp, trunk
Skin, mucous membranes, internal organs
Skin's surface, near eyes or mouth

Characteristics

Red or strawberry-colored, raised, tends to fade naturally
Large, dilated blood vessels, deep-seated
Clusters of tiny capillaries, red or purple discoloration
