Xanthelasma

What causes Xanthelasma?

Xanthelasma is caused by lipids. It is formed from cholesterol deposits that accumulate underneath the skin. The condition can occur in anyone, but is most common in people with a lipid disorder known as dyslipidemia.

Dyslipidemia occurs when a person has too many lipids in their bloodstream, such as triglycerides and certain types of cholesterol. Abnormally high blood cholesterol can be caused by a number of factors, including genetics, lifestyle choices, some medications, and other conditions such as kidney disease.

You are also more likely to develop Xanthelasma if you are:

  • A woman
  • Of Asian or Mediterranean descent
  • Diabetic
  • Obese
  • A smoker
  • Between the ages of 30 and 50

 

How does Xanthelasma removal work at Zenith Nottingham?

Zenith Cosmetic Clinics in Nottingham treats Xanthelasma with radiosurgery.

Radiosurgery is the safest treatment option. It leaves the least amount of scarring and has very few cases of recurrence.

The process of Xanthelasma removal at Zenith is usually performed by Dr Maini. He will apply an anaesthetic solution to the skin which might sting for a few seconds.

Radiosurgery is then used to gently remove the Xanthelasma. Radiosurgery vaporizes the fatty deposits under the skin using focused beams of ionizing radiation.

The procedure is over very quickly and is virtually painless.

 

Aftercare and Recovery

Dr Maini will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions. At Zenith, we offer a daily follow-up service; you will be able to contact Dr Maini at any time via WhatsApp and you will be in regular correspondence with him throughout your recovery.

Your eyes will likely be sensitive after the procedure. You should not drive home from the clinic, so please arrive via public transport or arrange for someone to drive you home.

You will be able to work the following day if you wear dark glasses. Otherwise, you may prefer to take a week off work to recover.

As a general rule, the larger the lesion removed, the longer the recovery period.

There is a chance that Xanthelasma may reoccur, returning in the same place or somewhere different, but this is highly unlikely with radiosurgery.
