What Is Xanthelasma & Why Do They Form?
Understanding yellowish eyelid plaques and why home remedies or drops fail.
Characteristics of Eyelid Plaques
Xanthelasma palpebrarum are soft, yellowish or cream lipid deposits accumulating within the superficial dermis of the eyelids—most commonly at the inner (medial) upper eyelids.
- Flat or slightly raised symmetrical plaques
- Soft, non-tender texture
- Progressive over time; do not resolve spontaneously
Underlying Causes & Normal Lipids
While contributing factors include genetic predisposition or lipid abnormalities, many patients with xanthelasma have normal blood cholesterol profiles.
Treating cholesterol alone will not remove existing deposits; once formed, physical ablation is necessary.

Why REVIDA eRaze-X™ CO₂ Laser Outperforms Surgery
Micron-level precision vaporisation without sutures or scalpel incisions.
Precise Ablation
CO₂ laser energy targets tissue water content, allowing precise layer-by-layer vaporisation without collateral thermal damage to delicate eyelid skin.
No Sutures Required
Unlike surgical excision which cuts and stitches the skin (risking lid distortion), laser removal leaves clean micro-wounds that heal naturally.
Low Recurrence Risk
When performed by an expert doctor with appropriate magnification and conservative depth control, recurrence rates remain exceptionally low.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is CO₂ laser safe near the eyes?
Yes, when performed by an experienced medical doctor using appropriate eye protection and conservative, specialized eyelid parameters.
Will it leave a scar?
Permanent scarring is uncommon with correct technique. Eyelid skin heals exceptionally well, gradually blending with surrounding tissue over 2–6 weeks.
Is the procedure painful?
Discomfort is well controlled using topical or local anaesthetic. We aim for a pain-free experience so you feel comfortable throughout.
How many sessions are needed?
Most xanthelasma are successfully treated in a single session. Larger or unusually thick plaques may occasionally require staged treatment.
