Xanthelasma Treatment and Removal in Beaconsfield
Skin Revision offers Xanthelasma treatment in Beaconsfield for people who want to reduce the appearance of yellow deposits around the eyelids.
Treatment starts from £150. We check every case first, so you know which option may suit you, what recovery may look like, and what to expect from treatment.
What Is Xanthelasma?
Xanthelasma is a yellow or yellow-white patch that forms on or around the eyelids. It is usually painless and is not contagious. The deposit is made up of fatty material under the skin.
Many people call these cholesterol deposits around the eyes. Xanthelasma can be linked with high cholesterol, but it can also happen when cholesterol levels are normal. Because other skin or eyelid changes can look similar, a proper assessment is important before treatment.
What Causes Xanthelasma Around the Eyes?
Xanthelasma is caused by a mix of genetic, age-related and health factors. Family history can increase the chance of developing it, and some people may have an inherited problem with how the body handles blood fats.
If the patches are new, changing or have not been checked before, your GP may advise a blood test or health review. This can help rule out an underlying health issue.
At Skin Revision, treatment focuses on the visible deposits. Your GP should assess any wider health concerns.
Should You Speak to Your GP?
Yes, a GP check can be helpful, especially when the patches are new or have not been checked before.
It is worth speaking to your GP if:
- the patches have appeared recently
- they are growing or becoming more noticeable
- you have a family history of high cholesterol
- you have not had your cholesterol checked for some time
- you are not sure that the patch is xanthelasma
A GP can check your general health and arrange tests when needed. Skin Revision does not diagnose cholesterol or heart conditions.
Xanthelasma Removal at Skin Revision
Xanthelasma removal in Beaconsfield starts with an assessment. It is also a useful step for anyone comparing local treatment options.
You can first send clear photos by WhatsApp. We then complete a face-to-face consultation before treatment.
We look at the size, number and position of the deposits. We also consider your skin type, pigmentation risk, medical history and treatment goals.
We then explain what treatment may be suitable, what it costs, how your skin may heal, and what aftercare you will need.
This simple process helps us plan Xanthelasma treatment around your skin and the area being treated.
How Does CryoPen Treatment Work?
CryoPen uses controlled cooling to treat selected skin lesions. At Skin Revision, CryoPen may be used for suitable xanthelasma after assessment.
During CryoPen xanthelasma removal, the practitioner applies controlled nitrous oxide cooling to the treated area. The skin may feel cold, prickly or uncomfortable during the procedure.
The area may then become red, swollen or form a small blister or crust. Healing varies from person to person. You may need more than one session. CryoPen xanthelasma removal is planned around the size and position of the deposit.
Because the eyelid is a delicate area, treatment settings and placement need care. Your practitioner will explain the likely response before treatment.
How Does Plasma Treatment Work?
Plasma treatment uses controlled plasma energy to treat selected skin lesions. Skin Revision may consider it for some cases of xanthelasma.
The treatment creates a controlled reaction on the skin surface. Small marks, swelling or crusting may appear while the area heals.
Plasma is not suitable for every lesion. Your skin, the size and position of the deposit and your treatment goal will all be considered first.
Which Treatment May Suit Me?
The right option depends on your skin and the deposit being treated. There is no single method that suits every person.
| Consideration | CryoPen | Plasma |
|---|---|---|
| Suitability | Confirmed after assessment | Confirmed after assessment |
| Treatment | Controlled cooling | Controlled plasma energy |
| Recovery | Varies by case | Varies by case |
| Sessions | May need more than one | May need more than one |
| Further treatment | May be needed in some cases | May be needed depending on healing and response |
If you are looking for Xanthelasma removal near me, a consultation is the best way to find out which option may be suitable.
What Results Can I Expect?
Results vary. Some people see a clear improvement after one treatment. Others may need more than one session.
The treated area can change as the skin heals, so the final result may take time to show.
Complete clearance cannot be promised. Xanthelasma can come back after removal. Treating the visible deposit also does not treat an underlying cholesterol problem.

Quick WhatsApp Assessment
Unsure about your Xanthelasma and whether it is treatable? After the initial contact you are advised to send over a photo of the lesion via WhatsApp. We can then confirm what type of lesion is visible and potentially give an indication of cost. If you are in agreement, you can make a booking for your short consultation and treatment at a day to suit you
In-Depth Clinical Consultation
Your skin consultation is initially performed over the phone or on WhatsApp. You will be asked to forward a photo. At that time, we should be able to assess the treatment process. At your appointment, you will have a face-to-face consultation before your non-surgical treatment is performed. You will be told of the process, of any discomfort, of healing time and aftercare.

What Is Recovery Like?
Recovery depends on the treatment, the size of the area and your skin.
You may notice redness, swelling, blistering or crusting. Follow the aftercare given by your practitioner. Keep the area clean as advised. Do not pick or scratch the skin.
You may also need to avoid makeup for a short time. Once the skin has healed enough, protect it from the sun as advised.
If the area looks unusual or you are worried about healing, contact the clinic.
Can Xanthelasma Be Treated on Different Skin Tones?
Yes, treatment can be considered for different skin tones. The risk of pigmentation change should be checked before treatment.
Your treatment settings and aftercare should match your skin and healing response. Tell your practitioner about past pigmentation changes, skin sensitivity or healing problems.
