Xanthelasma Treatment

CO2 Laser Treatment for Xanthelasma at Solihull Medical Cosmetic Clinic

What is Xanthelasma?

Xanthelasma are yellowish, fatty deposits that typically appear around the eyelids. While they are not harmful, many seek treatment for cosmetic reasons. CO2 laser treatment is an effective method for removing these deposits, offering precision and minimal recovery time.

What is CO2 Laser Xanthelasma Treatment For

The CO2 laser is a powerful tool that targets the affected skin tissues, vaporising them layer by layer. This method not only removes xanthelasma but also promotes the growth of new, healthy skin. In Asian skin, we may use our other medical-grade erbium Yag laser

Xanthelasma Treatment Procedure Details

Consultation:

All patients begin with a consultation with Dr Sagoo, who assesses the condition and discusses the best treatment options.

Treatment Time:

The procedure typically lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the extent of the xanthelasma. On average, about 2 treatments are required. Antiviral medication may be prescribed to prevent the risk of viral infection and avoid direct sunlight.

Anaesthesia:

Local anaesthesia is applied to ensure patient comfort during the procedure.

Benefits of CO2 Laser Xanthelasma Treatment

Precision:
The CO2 laser allows for highly accurate targeting of xanthelasma areas, removing only the unwanted fatty deposits while preserving the surrounding healthy skin. This reduces the risk of scarring or unnecessary tissue damage, resulting in a much cleaner cosmetic finish.

Minimal Downtime:
Unlike a surgical procedure or other invasive methods, CO2 laser treatment is relatively quick and requires little recovery time. Most patients experience only mild redness or swelling and can typically resume their daily activities within a few days, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules. We can discuss the aftercare process with you, so you are fully aware of what to expect after your xanthelasma treatment.

Long-Lasting Results:
The laser effectively vaporises the xanthelasma, significantly reducing the chance of recurrence compared to more superficial treatments. While new ones may still develop in the future due to underlying cholesterol or lipid issues, treated areas often remain clear for years, providing lasting cosmetic improvement.

CO2 Laser Treatment Aftercare

Post-treatment, patients may experience some swelling and redness, which usually subsides within a week. Dr Sagoo will provide specific aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing.

The cost of treatment is from £800

Property of Dr Sagoo

Can Xanthelasma Go Away On Its Own?

No, xanthelasma does not go away without treatment. Once these fatty deposits form under the skin, they tend to remain in place and may even gradually increase in size over time, this is likely if your cholesterol levels don’t improve or any other health issue you may be experiencing. Unlike pimples or other minor skin blemishes, xanthelasma cannot be popped, squeezed, or drained, so it can only be reduced using the appropriate treatment options.

Trying to treat xanthelasma at home with over-the-counter creams, acids, or chemical agents can be dangerous. These products may irritate or burn the skin without actually removing the deposits, which can lead to scarring or further complications. For safe and effective removal, it’s important to consult a qualified professional such as Dr Sagoo, who can recommend the best course of xanthelasma treatment for you.
