Story
This patient had been noticing soft, yellowish patches developing near the inner corners of the upper eyelids for several years. Although painless, they were becoming increasingly visible and difficult to hide under makeup. She often found herself adjusting lighting in photos or using concealer daily to try to cover them.
Despite maintaining a healthy lifestyle and normal cholesterol levels, the patches — diagnosed as xanthelasma — continued to enlarge slowly. Having a naturally warm-toned complexion, she was particularly worried about scarring and pigmentation changes after treatment, which had made her hesitant to seek help earlier.
During her consultation with Dr Chun-Yen Huang (MED0001234567) at Medical Aesthetics 360°, her concerns were thoroughly addressed. Dr Huang explained that Fotona’s high-precision Erbium YAG laser could be used to remove the xanthelasma safely and accurately, minimising heat to protect surrounding tissue. The procedure would also include fine 7-0 suture closure, a technique commonly used in delicate eyelid surgery, ensuring optimal healing and minimal scarring.
Feeling reassured, she decided to proceed. The treatment was completed comfortably under local anaesthetic. Healing took around one week, with smooth recovery, minimal scarring, and no visible pigmentation change. When she returned for review, she shared that she could finally leave the house without concealer — something she hadn’t done in years.
Her eyes appeared clearer, refreshed, and natural. She expressed how much lighter she felt, both in appearance and confidence.
