Xanthelasma is a medical condition characterised by the development of yellowish plaques or deposits on the eyelids or around the eyes. These plaques are primarily made up of cholesterol and lipids, and while they are not harmful or painful, they can be a cosmetic concern for many individuals. The condition is often associated with lipid disorders, such as high cholesterol or triglycerides in the blood, but can also occur in people with normal lipid levels. Xanthelasma palpebrarum is particularly common in women and can indicate underlying issues related to cholesterol levels.
At Medical Aesthetics 360, we are proud to be recognised as experts in the treatment of xanthelasma. Our extensive experience and state-of-the-art technology enable us to offer highly effective treatments tailored to the individual needs of our clients. Two of the most advanced and successful treatments we offer are Erbium laser and CO2 laser therapies.
The Erbium laser treatment is a less invasive option that works by precisely targeting the area with xanthelasma. This laser gently removes the top layers of the skin, allowing the removal of the xanthelasma plaques with minimal discomfort and downtime. This method is particularly effective for smaller plaques and offers a high degree of precision and control, which is crucial for the delicate areas around the eyes.
On the other hand, the CO2 laser treatment is a more intensive option, ideal for larger and more persistent xanthelasma plaques. The CO2 laser emits a powerful beam of light that vaporizes the affected skin layers, effectively removing the plaques. This method is known for its high success rate and the ability to significantly reduce the appearance of xanthelasma, offering long-lasting results.
At Medical Aesthetics 360, our team of professionals is dedicated to providing exceptional care and achieving the best possible outcomes for our clients. We understand the importance of both the aesthetic and health aspects of treating xanthelasma and are committed to using our expertise to restore the natural beauty and confidence of our clients. It’s also essential to note that xanthelasma can be linked to heart disease and dietary factors, such as saturated fats, which can contribute to high cholesterol levels.
