Xanthelasma Removal
Remove cholesterol deposits from around the eyes
Xanthelasma are yellowish cholesterol-filled plaques that form around the eyelids and can affect facial appearance. While harmless, they rarely resolve spontaneously — our dermatologists remove them precisely using TCA chemical ablation or laser, with minimal risk to the delicate eyelid skin.
Xanthelasma removal at a dermatology clinic produces significantly cleaner cosmetic outcomes than home remedies. The dermatologist also assesses for underlying lipid abnormalities and refers for cholesterol management where indicated.
