Xanthelasma Treatment – Clear, Healthy, and Youthful Skin
Understanding Xanthelasma
Xanthelasma palpebrarum is a condition where cholesterol-rich deposits accumulate under the skin, forming soft, yellowish plaques near the inner corners of the eyes or along the eyelids. While the condition is more common in adults over 40, it can appear in younger individuals with high cholesterol or lipid imbalances.
Though Xanthelasma is generally non-cancerous and painless, it can affect confidence due to its visible appearance. Additionally, these deposits may sometimes indicate high cholesterol, diabetes, or other cardiovascular risks, making a dermatological evaluation essential.
Common characteristics include:
Soft, yellowish or slightly orange bumps.
Usually found on upper or lower eyelids.
Gradually increasing in size over time.
May occur on one or both eyes.
Early intervention can prevent progression, minimize recurrence, and improve both cosmetic appearance and overall skin health.
Advanced Xanthelasma Removal Treatments
Our clinic combines dermatological expertise with state-of-the-art aesthetic procedures to offer precise and safe removal of Xanthelasma. Treatment choice depends on the size, depth, and location of the plaques, as well as the patient’s skin type and medical history.
1. Laser Treatment
Laser therapy is one of the most effective methods for Xanthelasma removal. Focused laser energy breaks down the fatty deposits while preserving surrounding skin.
Benefits:
Minimally invasive
Precise targeting of deposits
Promotes smooth, scar-free healing
Short recovery time
2. Chemical Peels
Medical-grade chemical peels using agents like trichloroacetic acid (TCA) can gradually reduce Xanthelasma plaques by dissolving excess lipids.
Benefits:
Gentle, non-surgical procedure
Suitable for delicate eyelid skin
Reduces recurrence when combined with lipid management
3. Surgical Excision
For larger or stubborn Xanthelasma, minor surgical removal under local anesthesia may be recommended. This procedure ensures complete removal with careful attention to eyelid contour and function.
Benefits:
Immediate and effective removal
Precision reduces risk of scarring
Ideal for extensive or resistant plaques
4. Cryotherapy (Freezing Treatment)
Cryotherapy uses liquid nitrogen to freeze and eliminate Xanthelasma tissue. It is effective for small, superficial deposits.
Benefits:
Quick procedure
Minimally invasive
Safe for most skin types
5. Topical and Medical Management
While topical treatments cannot fully remove Xanthelasma, medications may help manage lipid levels and prevent recurrence. Our dermatologists work closely with patients to address underlying cholesterol or lipid imbalances alongside aesthetic treatments.
