What It Treats
Hemangiomas are benign growths of blood vessels that can occur in different forms, including:
Superficial Hemangiomas: Bright red lesions typically found on the skin’s surface, often called "strawberry marks."
Deep Hemangiomas: Located under the skin, these appear bluish or purple and can sometimes cause pain or complications depending on their size.
Mixed Hemangiomas: A combination of both superficial and deep hemangiomas
Understanding Hemangiomas
1. Infantile Hemangiomas
The most common type of hemangioma, infantile hemangiomas appear shortly after birth. These are more common in premature babies and typically resolve on their own over time. However, in some cases, medical intervention may be necessary if the hemangioma is obstructing vital areas such as the eyes, airway, or organs.
2. Adult Hemangiomas
While less common in adults, hemangiomas can develop due to hormonal changes, liver disease, or trauma. These types of hemangiomas often require professional evaluation to rule out any underlying medical concerns.
3. Congenital Hemangiomas
Present at birth, congenital hemangiomas may grow in size over the first year of life. They can be superficial or deep, requiring specific treatment plans based on their characteristics.

Our Comprehensive Approach to Hemangioma Treatment in Gainesville
At Dermestetics Gainesville, we take a meticulous approach to hemangioma treatment. During your consultation, our team will conduct a thorough evaluation of the hemangioma, including the size, location, and type, using advanced diagnostic tools. This enables us to create a customized treatment plan based on your unique needs.
How is My Treatment Plan Developed?
Your treatment plan is personalized to address your specific condition. After carefully assessing the hemangioma, we consider all available treatment options to ensure the most effective and least invasive approach. Options may include:
- Laser Therapy: Laser treatment is one of the most common and effective methods for reducing the appearance of superficial hemangiomas.
- Steroid Injections: Used to reduce swelling and shrink the hemangioma.
- Surgery: In some cases, surgical removal may be necessary if the hemangioma does not respond to other treatments or if it causes functional impairments.
How Long Will I Need Treatment?
Treatment duration depends on the hemangioma type, size, and treatment method. For superficial hemangiomas, laser therapy often requires a few sessions spaced over weeks or months. The treatment plan may take longer for more complex cases, like deep or congenital hemangiomas. Our team will monitor your progress and adjust the plan as necessary.
Are You a Good Candidate for Hemangiomas Treatment?
We work with both children and adults dealing with hemangiomas. You may be a good candidate for treatment if:
- You or your child have a hemangioma that is growing or causing discomfort
- The hemangioma is located in a sensitive area, such as near the eyes, nose, or mouth
- You wish to address the appearance of a hemangioma for cosmetic reasons
- Your child’s hemangioma is not resolving on its own and is causing complications
How Do I Monitor Your Progress?
We use advanced imaging and regular check-ins to monitor your progress throughout the treatment process. This helps us ensure the treatment is effective and adjusts as necessary. You will also receive follow-up visits to assess the healing process and discuss any additional steps needed.
