Cholesterol deposits, medically known as xanthelasma, present as yellowish, flat, or slightly raised bumps that typically form on or around the eyelids. While these deposits are benign and completely painless, their prominent location on the face makes them a major cosmetic nuisance for those who develop them.
Because of their close proximity to the delicate eye area, attempting to remove or treat these deposits at home is highly dangerous and ineffective. Safe eradication requires the precise hand and clinical expertise of a medical aesthetics professional to ensure the underlying tissue is protected while the deposit is cleared away.
At Concord Medical Aesthetics, we utilize gentle, meticulous techniques to carefully remove cholesterol deposits with minimal downtime. Our targeted treatments safely dissolve or extract the buildup, prioritizing minimal scarring and leaving you with a clear, refreshed, and youthful eye area.
