About This Result

The photo above is from a patient treated at this practice. A venous lake is benign, but because it can bleed if injured and is often a cosmetic concern, many patients choose to have it removed. The approach depends on the size and location; in this case it was treated by excision. For other vascular spots like broken capillaries and cherry angiomas, see blood vessel treatment results, or browse the full before & after gallery. Results vary; a consultation is required.
