Xanthelasma Removal

Xanthelasma Removal

Cholesterol deposits (xanthelasma) are cholesterol-filled, soft, flat, and yellowish bumps. Although typical peaks are more likely to develop in middle age and older adults, the age of onset can range from 15 to 73 years. They are more common in women than men. The prevalence is estimated at 4%, with an incidence of 1.1% in women and 0.3% in men.

Xanthelasma tend to appear on the upper and lower eyelids near the inner corner of the eye and sometimes join together to form larger lumps.

There are several ways to remove xanthelasma. These include cryotherapy that is freezing with liquid nitrogen or liquid carbon dioxide, ablative laser, surgical excision, electrodesiccation, electocoagulation, electrocauterization, and thermo-coagulation.
