Xanthelasma Removal

Safe and effective removal of xanthelasma using advanced dermatologic surgical and laser techniques around the eyelids.

Xanthelasma are yellowish, soft cholesterol-rich deposits that commonly develop around the eyelids, especially near the inner corners of the eyes. Although harmless, they can become cosmetically bothersome and may gradually increase in size over time.

We offer safe and effective removal of xanthelasma using advanced dermatologic surgical and laser techniques to restore a smoother and more natural appearance around the eyes.

How is Xanthelasma Removed?

The treatment method depends on the size, depth, and location of the lesion.

Available treatment options include:

  • Surgical excision
  • CO₂ laser removal
  • Electrocautery

The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia as a daycare procedure and typically takes 15–45 minutes.

Special care is taken to preserve the natural contour of the eyelid and achieve the best possible cosmetic outcome.
