Xanthelasma Treatment – Safe Removal of Cholesterol Deposits Around the Eyes
Xanthelasma are small, yellowish, cholesterol-rich deposits that usually appear on the upper or lower eyelids, near the inner corners of the eyes. While they are harmless and painless, they can be cosmetically distressing and may sometimes indicate high cholesterol or other metabolic concerns.
Our Xanthelasma Treatment focuses on safe, scar-free removal with advanced dermatological techniques, restoring a smooth and natural eyelid appearance.
What is Xanthelasma?
Acne laser therapy involves the use of specialized devices that emit concentrated light beams to penetrate the skin layers. These lasers target:
P. acnes bacteria (responsible for acne breakouts)
Overactive sebaceous (oil) glands
Inflamed skin tissue and post-acne scars
By doing so, they reduce existing acne lesions, prevent future breakouts, and promote collagen production for smoother skin.
Causes & Risk Factors
High Cholesterol or Triglycerides
Genetic Lipid Disorders
Chronic Liver Conditions
Diabetes or Metabolic Syndrome
Aging – More common in people over 40
Lifestyle – Poor diet, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption
