Raised Skin Leisions Removal

Xanthelasma Palpebrarum

Xanthelasma Palpebrarum refers to yellowish, cholesterol-rich deposits that form beneath the skin, typically around the eyelids. These lesions are non-cancerous and are caused by the accumulation of lipids in the skin cells. They usually appear as soft, flat, or slightly raised plaques and are more common in middle-aged and older individuals.

Service Description

Causes:

  • High cholesterol levels (often associated with lipid metabolism disorders)

  • Genetic factors

  • Age and lifestyle factors

  • Diabetes or other metabolic conditions

Treatment with Fotona Lasers

Fotona lasers are highly effective for treating various skin lesions, including xanthelasma, due to their precision and ability to target specific tissues without affecting the surrounding skin. Fotona’s Er:YAG and Nd:YAG lasers are particularly useful for this type of treatment.

How Fotona Lasers Treat Xanthelasma:

  1. Er:YAG Laser (Erbium YAG)

    • This laser is highly effective for vaporizing superficial lesions like xanthelasma. It works by emitting a precise wavelength of light that is absorbed by water in the skin, causing the target tissue to vaporize without affecting the surrounding skin.

    • It helps in removing the yellowish plaques while minimizing damage to nearby delicate skin around the eyes.

  2. Nd:YAG Laser (Neodymium YAG)

    • This laser penetrates deeper into the skin and can be used for heavier or thicker deposits. It helps coagulate and shrink the fat cells responsible for the xanthelasma.

    • It can also stimulate collagen production in the treated area, improving the skin’s overall appearance.

Benefits of Fotona for Xanthelasma Treatment:

  • Precision: The laser targets the lesion directly, reducing the risk of scarring or damage to surrounding tissues.

  • Minimal downtime: The procedure is minimally invasive, with most patients experiencing only slight redness or swelling after treatment.

  • Non-surgical: Unlike traditional surgical excision, laser treatment is a non-invasive method that requires no stitches and has a quicker recovery time.

  • Effective results: Multiple sessions may be required, but Fotona lasers can lead to significant improvements in the appearance of xanthelasma.

Procedure Overview:

  1. Consultation: The doctor will assess the size and location of the xanthelasma lesions to determine the most appropriate laser treatment.

  2. Treatment: The laser is applied to the lesion in a controlled manner. The procedure typically takes 15-30 minutes depending on the number and size of the lesions.

  3. Post-treatment care: Mild redness and swelling are common. Sun protection is essential to avoid pigmentation changes.

Fotona lasers offer a highly effective, precise, and minimally invasive option for treating xanthelasma palpebrarum. With multiple treatments, patients can achieve smoother, clearer skin around the eyes, with minimal risk of scarring or complications.

 

POST CARE

  • May have redness for 24 hours
  • May have swelling for 48 hours
  • Mild edema is possible for up to 72 hours
  • Apply mineral based SPF 50 to sun exposed areas
  • Apply a cooling gel such as Aloe Vera on areas when needed.

Candidates for
Xanthelasma Palpebrarum

Xanthelasma are benign, yellowish deposits of cholesterol that typically appear on the eyelids. While they are generally harmless, individuals may seek treatment for cosmetic reasons or due to underlying health concerns.

Ideal Candidates for Xanthelasma Treatment:

  • Individuals Seeking Cosmetic Improvement: Those bothered by the appearance of xanthelasma and desiring aesthetic enhancement.
  • Patients with Underlying Lipid Disorders: Individuals diagnosed with hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol levels) or other lipid metabolism disorders. Addressing the underlying condition may help prevent recurrence.
  • Patients with Associated Health Conditions: Individuals with conditions such as diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism, cardiovascular disease, obesity, pancreatitis, hyperuricemia, smokers, or those with excessive alcohol intake. These factors may increase the risk of developing xanthelasma.
  • Individuals Experiencing Discomfort or Vision Impairment: In some cases, xanthelasma plaques can grow large enough to cause discomfort or even interfere with vision, necessitating removal for functional reasons.
