Xanthelasma, the yellowish, fatty deposits that appear around the eyelids, can be frustrating to deal with. While treatments like laser therapy, chemical peels, or surgery can remove them, many people wonder: Will Xanthelasma come back after treatment? Here’s what you need to know and some expert tips from Irvine Skin to reduce the chances of recurrence.
Can Xanthelasma Return After Removal?
Yes, xanthelasma can return even after successful treatment. This happens because the underlying cause—such as high cholesterol or lipid levels—is not addressed. If your body continues to deposit fats in the skin, new Xanthelasma spots may form.
However, this doesn’t mean every person will experience a recurrence. It depends on individual factors like your health, lifestyle, and how well the root cause is managed.
Why Does Xanthelasma Return?
1) Uncontrolled Cholesterol Levels: If you have high cholesterol and it’s not treated, fatty deposits can return.
2) Genetics: Some people are genetically predisposed to Xanthelasma, making recurrence more likely.
3) Incomplete Treatment: If the initial removal didn’t fully clear the fatty deposits, they might grow back.
How to Stop Xanthelasma from Coming Back
Eat healthy foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
Take cholesterol medicine if your doctor recommends it.
Check your cholesterol and lipid levels often.
Treat any health problems like diabetes or thyroid issues.
Follow your dermatologist’s advice to help your skin heal.
