Can managing cholesterol levels help reduce xanthelasma? | Information by OC MedDerm

 

Do you have soft, yellow patches around your eyes? These are called xanthelasma. They’re not harmful, but many people don’t like how they look. Xanthelasmas are made up of cholesterol deposits under the skin, often appearing near the upper or lower eyelids.

At OC MedDerm in Irvine, we offer safe, effective treatments to remove xanthelasma. Our experienced skin doctors use advanced methods like laser treatment and minor surgery to help you get smooth, clear skin again.


How Cholesterol Affects Xanthelasma

Since xanthomas are cholesterol deposits, high cholesterol levels in the blood can make them worse. If you have high LDL ("bad cholesterol"), you may be more likely to develop these patches.

While treatments like laser removal in Irvine can eliminate existing xanthelasma, keeping cholesterol under control may help prevent them from coming back. This means eating a healthy diet, exercising, and, if needed, taking cholesterol-lowering medications as prescribed by your doctor.


At OC MedDerm in Irvine, we truly care about your skin and your comfort. Our clinic is led by experienced skin doctors who have treated many patients with xanthelasma and other skin concerns. We use safe and proven methods to remove xanthelasma, like gentle lasers and small procedures, all done right in our clean and friendly office.

We take time to listen to your concerns, explain every step clearly, and make sure you feel relaxed during your visit. Our goal is to give you natural-looking results and help you feel confident in your skin again.
