Expert Xanthelasma Removal and Medical Skin Procedures

Xanthelasma consists of yellowish cholesterol deposits that form under the skin, most commonly near the inner corners of your eyes. While they are often viewed as a cosmetic issue, they are technically clinical lesions that can sometimes indicate high cholesterol, diabetes, or hypertension.

My approach focuses on safety and precision. Before any procedure, I examine the depth and size of the deposit to decide between radiofrequency ablation or CO2 laser techniques. The goal is to remove the lesion while minimizing the risk of scarring. It is important to know that these deposits can return if the underlying metabolic factors are not addressed, so I always encourage patients to track their blood work alongside the treatment.

The procedure is conducted in a sterile clinic environment. Depending on the size of the lesion, we might use local anesthesia to ensure you are comfortable. Recovery typically involves keeping the area clean and protected from the sun for a few days. My role is to help you clear the lesion and advise on managing the root cause so you do not have to worry about them recurring.
