Xanthelasma, or xanthelasma palpebrarum (XP), is a harmless, yellow growth that appears on or by the corners of your eyelids next to your nose. Cholesterol deposits build up under your skin to form a xanthelasma.
About Xanthelasma Removal
Xanthelasma are yellowish cholesterol deposits that form around the eyelids. They are usually harmless but can be a cosmetic concern.
It is often linked to high cholesterol, liver disease, or genetic factors. However, some people develop it without any underlying health issues.
No, xanthelasma itself is not harmful, but it may indicate high cholesterol or other health conditions that should be checked by a doctor.
No, xanthelasma does not disappear without treatment. It may remain the same or grow larger over time.
Treatments include laser therapy, cryotherapy (freezing), surgical removal, chemical peels, and prescription creams.
Surgical removal is the most effective for immediate results, but laser treatment is also popular for minimal scarring.
Some treatments, especially surgical removal, may leave small scars. Laser therapy and chemical peels often reduce scarring risks.
I had yellow cholesterol patches near my eyes for years and tried everything to hide them. Met Dr. Aakash at LSLI where he guided me about lasers and procedures. After the removal, my skin looks clean and clear.
I was nervous at first, but the removal was quick and barely left a mark. I couldn’t believe how much of a difference it made to my confidence.
Xanthelasma made my eyes look tired and older than I was. After the treatment with laser I am extremely happy with results.
No cream or home remedy ever worked for me. LSLI guided me through a safe, effective procedure and the patches were gone in just one session. I wish I had done it sooner!"
Dr. Aakash explained everything in detail and made me feel so at ease. The removal was smooth, and my skin healed beautifully. It’s such a relief not seeing those patches every time I look in the mirror."
