Preparing for Xanthelasma Removal Keighley : Complete UK Guide
What is Xanthelasma?
Xanthelasma are yellowish plaques of cholesterol that develop under the skin, commonly near the eyelids.
- They are benign (non-cancerous) but can increase in size over time.
- Though not harmful, they may indicate high cholesterol levels and are often removed for cosmetic reasons.
They do not go away on their own, and professional xanthelasma treatment is the most reliable option for removal.
How Does Xanthelasma Removal Work?
Treatment depends on the size, depth, and position of the deposits. At Pinnacle Clinic, we offer several evidence-based options:
- Laser Treatment for Xanthelasma – A precise beam removes cholesterol deposits with minimal damage to surrounding skin.
- Surgical Excision – For larger or deeper plaques, the area is numbed and the deposit is carefully removed under local anaesthetic.
- Chemical or Cautery Options – In certain cases, controlled chemical peeling or cautery may be used.
- Supportive Care – Lifestyle and cholesterol management advice may also be provided if needed.
Every procedure is carried out with sterile techniques and clear aftercare instructions to reduce recurrence and support healthy recovery.
What Happens During the Procedure?
- Consultation & Assessment – Your doctor will review your medical history, examine the xanthelasma, and explain suitable options.
- Anaesthetic & Preparation – Local anaesthetic is applied so the treatment is comfortable and virtually pain-free.
- Removal – Depending on the chosen method (laser, excision, or cautery), the deposit is removed carefully to minimise scarring.
- Aftercare Guidance – A light dressing may be applied, and you’ll be given instructions on wound care, sun protection, and recovery.
Most procedures take 20–40 minutes, and patients usually go home the same day.
Possible Risks & Complications
All procedures carry small risks, but serious complications are rare. Potential issues include:
- Mild redness, swelling, or temporary tenderness.
- Small scar formation (usually fades over time).
- Rare recurrence of xanthelasma, even after removal.
- Rare infection (minimised with aftercare guidance).
Aftercare & Follow-Up
- Keep the area clean and dry for 24–48 hours.
- Avoid rubbing or scratching the treated area.
- Use sun protection to reduce pigmentation risk.
- Attend follow-up if recommended for stitch removal or review.
Our doctors ensure you have written and verbal aftercare instructions for peace of mind.
