Xanthelasma

Electrolysis is a safe, effective, quick and affordable method of treating Xanthelasma which are

deposits of fatty materials, under the surface of the skin ranging in size from very small to more than

an inch in diameter.

The exact cause of Xanthelasma is unknown. It is typically associated with an elevated cholesterol

level. Xanthelasma may appear anywhere on the body, but is most commonly seen on the eyelids.

Treatment with electrolysis can visibly reduce the raised appearance although the colour remains

unaffected.

Treatment:

A small probe will touch the surface of the skin, energy is released and a slight stinging sensation will

be experienced. Xanthelasma may require more than one treatment and on-going treatment is required.
