Removing Xanthelasma on the Upper Eyelids

Dr. Timothy Jochen removes a Xanthelasma on the Upper Eyelids by electrodesiccation. Xanthelasma are yellow patches on or around the eyelids that are made up of cholesterol deposits.

Xanthelasma are yellow patches on or around the eyelids that are made up of cholesterol deposits. While they are neither harmful to the skin nor painful, these patches can be cosmetically concerning for some patients.

Treatment options include electrodesiccation, peels, surgery, lasers, or cryotherapy.

Xanthelasma may also be an early warning sign of an underyling issue or that cholesterol has started to build up in your blood vessels.

Always consult with a medical provider or your dermatologist if you have any unusual bumps, lumps, or patches on your skin and body.
