Xanthelasma Palpebrarum is a sharply demarcated yellowish deposit around the eyes, they can be tiny patches right through to large deposits around both eyes, which can appear flat or slightly raised. They are completely harmless 

In some cases this condition can can be a sign of potential issues with high cholesterol or diabetes and it is recommended that you visit your GP and ensure that you have this condition noted on your medical records and ask if your GP recommends further health checks and ask for it to be noted on your medical records that you have the condition and are having it removed.

This condition is neither harmful nor painful, but larger deposits can become disfiguring or cause emotional distress. We do not not judge your choices or reasons for having blemishes removed, not liking them is reason enough!

It is important to note that we can only treat around one eye at a time, so it will take more than one visit to clear the condition if it is present around both eyes.

Many conditions require more than one treatment which is indicated by the size, location and quantity of the lesions to be removed. Your treatment plan will be discussed with you during your consultation to enable you to make clear and confident decisions.

The technique used for removal is Advanced Electrolysis or short wave diathermy (known as thermolysis in the USA). Our head aesthetician has over 30 years experience and is trained and approved by Sterex International, who provide the highest level of training for medical, dental and aesthetic practitioners across the globe.

It is important to note that we cannot prevent the appearance of further lesions and while in most cases complete removal is achieved we cannot guarantee that everyone will have the same results, each person will heal differently and in some cases there may still be some discolouration after treatment.
