Our xanthelasma removal experts have years of experience and who always provide high quality results.
Go for smoother eyelids that make you feel confident and look your best.
Why have it removed?
Xanthelasma are cholesterol deposits that form yellowish, soft patches on or around the upper and lower eyelid. Although they are generally harmless and asymptomatic, the fact that they can be visible on the face and could indicate high cholesterol levels or even heart disease makes many people worry about them.
If you are wondering about xanthelasma removal, it is actually one of the best choices that individuals choose to boost their aesthetic side and also to feel more confident. The treatment for xanthelasma removes the yellow deposits and gives a smooth fresh appearance. Besides making it look better, removing it prevents the patches from growing bigger or spreading. Simply getting xanthelasma removed is for many people, peace of mind and increased self-esteem.
Several benefits include:
30 minutes - 1 hour

There are many options available, but it depends on its size, location and your skin type. The available treatment options surgical removal, laser, cryotherapy and electrodessication have their own advantages. Precise surgical excision works well in bigger patches and laser xanthelasma removal lessens the scarring. Our specialist will help you determine the method that is appropriate for you.
How long it takes to remove xanthelasma depends on the treatment and how much is required to be removed, this process may take different amounts of time. It typically takes about 30 minutes to an hour.
Results are typically permanent, although maintenance sessions can help prolong the effect.
Most patients can resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure, and there is a very short recovery time.
Xanthelasma treatments, which use local anaesthetic, is a painless process. It is almost non-scarring and once healed, your eyelid skin will be a lot clearer and smoother looking.

Xanthelasma removal is ideal for individuals with noticeable xanthelasma on the eyelids who do not like how they appear. Some want it removed just for a more fresh appearance, desire to develop a cleaner and younger look around the eyes. Yellow deposits may develop on the eyelids of healthy people with normal lipids and those who have elevated cholesterol or a lipid disorder which is why it can occur with or without an underlying medical condition .
For larger xanthelasma, this surgery can also be beneficial in order to minimise discomfort and vision problems. Surgical removal is one of the permanent solutions to treat xanthelasma, and also for patients who have not responded adequately to other treatments such as dietary changes or cholesterol-lowering drugs.
Removal of xanthelasma can lead to some complications like skin pigmentation, pain, as well as minimal scarring. The effects are typically short-lived but something worth considering before starting the procedure.
In some rare situations, the eyelid may also invert or be retracted toward the eye, which can cause minimal discomfort. These concerns must be discussed with the physician so that the patient can have the best treatment option for his condition.
