Xanthelasma

Xanthelasma, At A Glance

Xanthelasma Treatment

Xanthelasma are soft, yellow cholesterol deposits that develop on the eyelids, appearing as flat or slightly raised plaques most commonly near the inner corners of the eyes. They are sometimes described as yellow eyelid plaques or cholesterol deposits around the eyes, and while benign, they may gradually enlarge over time.

While the condition itself is harmless, many people choose to explore treatment for cosmetic reasons as the plaques become more noticeable.

At Body Recon, we provide professional consultation with a focus on thorough assessment, patient education and natural-looking outcomes.

How treatment works

We perform xanthelasma removal using Er:YAG laser treatment (Erbium YAG laser ablation) — an advanced, precise method for eyelid lesion removal. The Er:YAG laser works by carefully vaporising the cholesterol plaque layer by layer, allowing controlled laser ablation for xanthelasma while preserving surrounding eyelid tissue.
