Xanthelasma Removal in Bristol.
Revida eRaze-X™ CO₂ Eyelid Treatment by Dr Brad.
Specialist doctor-led eyelid laser treatment for smooth, natural results – no cutting, no stitches, no surgical scarring.
Xanthelasma are yellowish cholesterol-rich patches that develop on the upper or lower eyelids.
They are benign but affect confidence, symmetry, and the appearance of the eyes — the most expressive part of the face.
Many people feel embarrassed, wear glasses to hide them, or avoid photos altogether.
Revida eRaze-X™ is Bristol’s premium eyelid CO₂ laser xanthelasma removal programme, performed exclusively by Dr Brad, a medical doctor specialising in eyelid laser treatments using the DEKA SmartXide CO₂ laser.
This advanced technique removes xanthelasma cleanly, safely, and with excellent cosmetic blending, without the need for cutting or stitches.
⭐ Why Choose Revida eRaze-X™ for Xanthelasma Removal?
✔ Doctor-performed eyelid treatment
The eyelids are the thinnest skin on the body.
Only an experienced medical doctor should treat them with a CO₂ laser.
✔ Superior cosmetic outcomes
CO₂ laser vaporises unwanted tissue layer by layer, with precise control and minimal surrounding damage.
✔ No cutting, no stitches, no surgical scars
Unlike surgical excision, CO₂ laser avoids contour distortion, notch formation, or visible incision lines.
✔ Micron-level accuracy
Essential for the delicate eyelid zone — especially when plaques are close to the lash line.
✔ Quick (usually 20–40 minutes)
Most patients are surprised how rapid and comfortable the procedure is.
✔ Rapid recovery
Small crusts form and shed within 5–10 days.
✔ Natural-looking results
Laser feathering ensures the treated area blends with surrounding skin.
✔ Safe for upper and lower lids
Including difficult medial (inner corner) plaques.
⭐ Xanthelasma Removal Pricing
Xanthelasma removal requires high precision, meticulous depth control, and careful cosmetic judgement.
All treatments are performed by a medical doctor.

This pricing is significantly below major oculoplastic and dermatology centres, where fees often exceed £2,500–£4,000, yet the quality and precision remain exceptionally high.
⭐ What Is Xanthelasma?
Xanthelasma are yellow or cream-coloured cholesterol deposits that form under the skin of the eyelids.
They often appear:
-on the inner upper eyelids
-on the lower lids near the tear trough
-in symmetrical pairs
-gradually increasing in size over years
They are benign but can:
-spread
-thicken
-affect eyelid contour
-become cosmetically noticeable
-make the eyes look older or tired
Some people have normal cholesterol; others have raised lipid levels — your GP can check this easily.
⭐ How CO₂ Laser Removes Xanthelasma
The DEKA SmartXide CO₂ laser allows precise, controlled vaporisation of xanthelasma tissue while preserving normal eyelid structure.
1. Medical assessment
Confirms suitability and measures plaque thickness.
2. Numbing
A tiny amount of local anaesthetic or numbing cream ensures comfort.
3. Layer-by-layer CO₂ ablation
The lesion is removed carefully, following its natural boundaries.
4. Feathering and blending
Edges are smoothed to prevent visible transitions between treated and untreated skin.
5. Cooling & aftercare
A thin crust forms and exfoliates naturally.
Laser ablation gives a much smoother and more natural finish than surgical cutting.
⭐ What Results Can You Expect?
After Revida eRaze-X™:
✔ Yellow plaques are removed
✔ Skin appears smoother and more even
✔ Eyelid contour is preserved
✔ No surgical scar
✔ Eyes look fresher and more open
✔ Most patients require only one treatment
✔ Confidence improves immediately
Re-excision scars are avoided, and the eyelids maintain their natural curve.
⭐ What about recurrence?
Xanthelasma can recur regardless of treatment type — surgical or laser.
However:
-recurrence is usually much smaller
-easier to treat
-years later
Many patients never experience recurrence.
⭐ Is CO₂ Laser Better Than Surgery for Xanthelasma?
For most patients, yes — significantly.
Laser Advantages
No cutting
No stitches
No scar line
No eyelid distortion
Fast recovery
Better blending
Precise depth control
Excellent for superficial plaques
Surgery is only preferred when:
-plaques are extremely large
-plaques are extremely deep
-there is significant functional impact
Most standard xanthelasma cases respond beautifully to CO₂ laser.
⭐ Treatment Areas & Complexity Levels
✔ Upper eyelids
Most common site.
✔ Lower eyelids
Requires even more precision due to delicate anatomy.
✔ Medial canthus (inner corner)
Technically demanding — doctor treatment essential.
✔ Bilateral paired plaques
Symmetry must be maintained to avoid uneven eyelid lines.
Revida eRaze-X™ is specifically designed for this kind of high-skill eyelid work.
