The ruby point
The ruby point is a small red or purplish spot that appears on the skin of women and men, usually over the age of 30.
Although they are completely harmless, ruby points can be considered a skin imperfection, sometimes perceived as bothersome, especially when located on certain areas of the body. Victoria Park Medispa offers effective, minimally invasive, and quick solutions to permanently remove them.
What is a ruby point?
Ruby points are small benign lesions — also called angiomas — caused by the dilation of blood vessels. These small bumps, measuring just a few millimeters, can appear anywhere on the body, including the face, hands, arms, torso, and thighs.
The appearance of ruby points on the skin is harmless. It is mainly related to age, as most people over 60 have at least one.
Other factors may be involved, such as heredity and hormonal changes. More rarely, a sudden and significant increase in the number of ruby points on the body may indicate liver failure or another internal disease.
Painless, ruby points on the skin do not bleed and are not scaly.
If you feel pain or notice a change in shape or texture, it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional. Fortunately, these situations are very rare. In most cases, ruby points are a harmless dermatological condition that can be easily removed with targeted aesthetic treatments offered at Victoria Park Medispa.

Getting rid of ruby points: treatments
The Victoria Park Medispa medical-aesthetic clinic offers solutions for removing ruby points that do not involve surgical procedures. To eliminate the lesions, angioma cauterization is used, which reduces the appearance of the blood vessels.
It is also possible to benefit from laser therapy, a proven method. Laser treatments allow for precise targeting of the area to be treated without damaging the surrounding tissues. Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology is the most powerful for destroying ruby points: the light absorbed by the blood in the angioma causes it to coagulate, thus eliminating the visible red spot.
Two treatments are particularly effective for ruby point treatment: IPL Photorejuvenation LUMECCA and Forever Young BBL.
The IPL Photorejuvenation LUMECCA treatment addresses ruby points in one to three sessions. Results are visible from the first session: ruby points are diminished or even eliminated. The Forever Young BBL treatment is another similar and equally effective option, using short bursts of pulsed light to remove the lesions in a few sessions.
LUMECCA™ IPL, INTENSE PULSED LIGHT
Improve the appearance of your skin and get rid of your pigmented spots with the Lumecca pulsed light laser treatment.
BBL™ FOREVER YOUNG
Visibly improve the texture and quality of your skin in a few sessions with the pulsed light of the BBL Forever Young photorejuvenation treatment.
Ruby point laser therapy: advice before and after treatment
Before undergoing laser therapy to remove ruby points, a consultation with a medical-aesthetic healthcare professional at Victoria Park Medispa is necessary. During this meeting, in addition to assessing the patient’s needs and expectations, the doctor will inquire about their medical condition. Although IPL Photorejuvenation LUMECCA and Forever Young BBL treatments are non-invasive, most patients feel a slight pinch during the session, similar to an elastic band on the skin.
It is possible to resume activities immediately after laser therapy, as no recovery time is required. It is normal for the treated area to be uncomfortable, red, and warm: this is a known reaction that lasts about an hour. Even though there are usually no side effects, the skin remains sensitive to light for some time. During this period, it is best to avoid sun exposure and tanning beds.
In summary
A ruby point is a small red or purplish skin lesion, benign, caused by the dilation of blood vessels. These spots usually appear in people over 30.
Victoria Park Medispa offers non-invasive treatments such as cauterization and laser therapy (IPL Photorejuvenation LUMECCA and Forever Young BBL), which effectively target and eliminate ruby points.
It usually takes between 1 and 3 sessions of IPL photorejuvenation or Forever Young BBL to eliminate ruby points, with visible results from the first session.
After treatment, it is recommended to avoid sun exposure and artificial tanning, as the skin remains sensitive to light for a few days.
