Xanthelasma Laser Removal Treatment in Portsmouth
What is Xanthelasma?
Xanthelasma is a condition characterised by white or yellowish deposits of cholesterol that appear on the eyelids and around the eyes. Although the deposits are not harmful, they can be visually displeasing, affect self-esteem, and indicate underlying health issues like high cholesterol or diabetes.

Xanthelasma Removal Treatment Options at Changes Clinic
At Changes Clinic, we offer comprehensive and advanced treatments for Xanthelasma. Our approach is designed to not only address cosmetic concerns but also to ensure that any underlying health issues are identified and managed.
-
1. Medical Assessment and Diagnosis
- Comprehensive Evaluation: Our experienced dermatologists and medical professionals begin with a thorough examination to diagnose Xanthelasma. This includes evaluating the extent of the deposits and checking for any associated conditions such as hyperlipidemia.
- Personalized Treatment Plan: Based on the assessment, we create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and health profile.
-
2. Non-Surgical Treatments
- Topical Treatments: Prescription creams and ointments may help reduce the size and appearance of Xanthelasma over time. These are typically used for smaller or less severe cases.
- Chemical Peels: Certain chemical agents can be applied to the Xanthelasma patches to help dissolve the cholesterol deposits gradually.
-
3. Minimally Invasive Procedures
- Laser Therapy: Advanced laser treatments, such as CO2 or Erbium lasers, are highly effective in removing Xanthelasma. These procedures are precise and minimize damage to the surrounding skin.
- Cryotherapy: This treatment involves freezing the Xanthelasma using liquid nitrogen, which helps to remove the cholesterol deposits.
-
4. Surgical Options
- Microexcision: In more severe or recurrent cases, a minor surgical procedure might be necessary to excise the deposits. Our skilled surgeons perform this with precision to ensure minimal scarring and quick recovery.
Aftercare and Follow-Up
Post-Treatment Care:
- After any Xanthelasma treatment, we provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing and prevent recurrence.
- Follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor your progress and address any concerns.
Lifestyle and Dietary Advice:
- Since Xanthelasma can be linked to high cholesterol levels, we offer guidance on lifestyle and dietary changes that can help manage cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of recurrence.
