38, what can I do for xanthelasma recurrence under eyes? (Photo)

Hello! My name is Jessica, I am a physician assistant, and one of the providers at Aesthetic Skin in Winnetka and Chicago. This is a great question. Based on your concerns, I recommend treatment with CO2 resurfacing lasers. CO2 lasers can precisely target and vaporize the xanthelasma deposits without damaging surrounding healthy tissue. This helps to minimize scarring and ensure a more uniform treatment outcome. The high-energy beam of the CO2 laser effectively breaks down the fatty deposits of xanthelasma, leading to their removal. This can significantly improve the appearance of the eyelids, reducing the yellowish plaques and restoring a smoother texture. CO2 lasers also stimulate collagen production in the skin. This can help improve skin elasticity and texture over time, contributing to a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance around the eyes. I hope this helps and best of luck!

I have been using electrocautery to treat xanethelasmas for several decades. It is a simple, quick and effective and time-tested technique for treating them. And, in experienced hands, an entire treatment session, requiring only local anesthesia can be performed in about ten minutes, I.e. about five minutes per under eye region. No scalpel cutting nor stitches are involved. You would be wise to consult with an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist. Hope this helps and best of luck.
