Xanthelasma is a harmless yellow bump on or near your eyelid skin. A type of xanthoma, or cholesterol deposit, a xanthelasma can be soft, chalky or semi-solid. Removal options range from surgery to using a chemical peel or heat or cold. Treatments are effective, but it may take several sessions. Xanthelasmas may come back after removal.
Medi-facials are medical-grade facials that go above and beyond what a regular salon facial can offer. These treatments are designed to treat specific skin conditions or disorders and are safe for almost all skin types. Medi-facials are done at a certified and experienced dermatologist’s clinic using many devices and techniques that include microcurrents, dermaplaning, photo rejuvenation, LED therapy, peels, microdermabrasion, and more.
While xanthelasmas can be signs of other health conditions, they aren’t harmful themselves. People usually seek treatment because they don’t like the way xanthelasmas look. To have the most accurate prognosis, your healthcare provider will check your cholesterol level and perform other blood tests.
Although your biggest concern right now may be the way your xanthelasmas look, you can rest assured that treatments are available.
