Xanthelasma Removal
If you’ve noticed yellowish deposits around your eyelids, our experienced practitioners can assess whether they are xanthelasma and discuss the most suitable treatment options. We provide personalised consultations, professional guidance and tailored treatment recommendations to help improve the appearance of the eyelid area while ensuring treatment is appropriate for your individual needs. Xanthelasma may be associated with cholesterol disorders in some people, so appropriate medical assessment may also be advised where relevant.
Xanthelasma
What is xanthelasma?
Xanthelasma is a harmless yellowish deposit that develops beneath the skin around the upper or lower eyelids. These soft, slightly raised patches are made up of cholesterol deposits and often appear near the inner corner of the eye. Although they are usually not painful, many people choose treatment because of their appearance or if the deposits gradually become more noticeable. During your consultation, we’ll assess the area and advise whether treatment is suitable for you.

Xanthelasma develops when cholesterol-rich deposits build up beneath the skin around the eyelids. In some people, it may be associated with raised cholesterol levels or other lipid disorders, while others develop xanthelasma without any underlying medical condition.
Although treatment can successfully remove existing xanthelasma, new deposits may develop over time. The likelihood of recurrence varies from person to person, and managing underlying cholesterol levels may help reduce the risk in some cases.
Recovery depends on the treatment method used and the size of the treated area. Mild redness or swelling may occur initially, and your practitioner will provide personalised aftercare advice and explain what to expect during the healing process.
