Top-notch Treatment for Xanthelasma in London

Xanthelasma Removal

The term xanthelasma refers to white spots or darker, yellowish lumps around the eyes. This is caused by fatty deposits mostly comprised of cholesterol, and can be an indication that the patient is suffering from excessive cholesterol, liver issues, heart disease, or other more serious concerns. Whilst xanthelasma itself is harmless, patients should always consult with a GP to rule out any underlying problems that may be causing it. Xanthelasma can be unsightly, particularly as it occurs in an area that is difficult to conceal, causing embarrassment and self-consciousness to the patient.

What does the treatment do?

Xanthelasma will not disappear on its own, and intervention by a professional dermatologist is required in order to fully address the problem. In most cases, xanthelasma removal is done using surgical excision for swift and effective treatment. Though sometimes, lasers may be more appropriate and so it’s important to have a thorough examination before proceeding with any treatment option.

All treatments can be performed in-house at Dermasurge’s Harley Street Clinic by Dr Hiba Injibar, our consultant dermatologist.

At Dermasurge, we require all patients to attend a consultation with Dr Injibar prior to beginning their course of treatment. This allows Dr Injibar to address any concerns or queries the patient may have, as well as explain the benefits and drawbacks of each treatment clearly so that patients can understand exactly what to expect. Have a look at the patient journey here at the clinic and also do check our patient’s reviews.

What are the treatment steps?

One of the best treatment options is surgical excision of the xanthelasma from the eyelids. Dr Hiba Injibar performs this surgical procedure quite frequently.

An examination is the starting point to determine the suitability of the patient’s eyelid skin for this procedure.
The surgical procedure is performed in the clinic using local injection anaesthesia only.
The xanthelasma is excised completely and the wound is closed with a few small stitches that are removed one week later..
The wound usually heals very well and scarring is minimal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there any downtime?

The downtime for surgical removal of xanthelasma under local anesthetic is generally minimal, but it depends on the size and location of the lesion. You may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising around the treated area immediately after the surgery. These effects usually subside within a few days to a week. Stitches are typically removed within 7–10 days.

ARE THE RESULTS PERMANENT?

The results of surgical removal of xanthelasma can be long-lasting but not always permanent because the procedure removes the existing deposits, but it does not address the underlying causes or risk factors for recurrence. Xanthelasma is often associated with lipid disorders (high cholesterol or triglycerides) or other metabolic conditions. If these underlying issues are not addressed, there is a risk of developing new lesions in the same or different areas.

What are the side effects?

During the procedure, numbing medication is administered, during which patients may experience an uncomfortable, stinging sensation. Once adequately numbed, the patient may feel a slight pulling sensation, but this should not hurt. After treatment, patients can experience swelling, bruising, and tenderness in the area.

Dr kept me at ease throughout the procedure and made sure I was doing well at all times. I was able to recover without any trouble in the timescale I was given and the result was clear to see. Would highly recommend Dr Hiba Injibar.

Dr Hiba saved me. I need to see someone urgently about a fast growing/change growth under my eye. Dr Hiba took me in on her break. She did a wonderful job on removing the growth at a sensitive area. Stitches out this morning and it is almost invisible. Professional, soft-spoken – could not recommend her enough!

I had nose Surgery with Dr Hiba Injibar. I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the initial consultation, it was apparent that Dr Hiba Injibar has a lot of experience in the procedure which made me feel very secure. She was very clear about what can be done and was also very attentive to my requests. I would not want anyone else to operate me 🙂 I Recommend 100%.

Dr. Hiba removed a dermal piercing for me and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. She was compassionate, kind, caring, and completely honest throughout the entire process. Her professionalism and attention to detail gave me full confidence in her care.

Her team was also outstanding and every staff member I interacted with was warm, supportive, and knowledgeable. The receptionist in particular went out of her way to help me and made the whole experience smooth and stress-free.

Highly recommend Dr. Hiba and her team for anyone looking for expert, considerate care.

We have used Dermasurge for our two children and the level of service from all staff goes above and beyond. They are polite, personable and knowledgeable. The speed of service is also very good. We have used other dermatologists before and can note that the Dermasurge team are far better.

I had several seborrheic keratosis removed and one unusual skin growth excised and biopsied. The procedure was quick, painless and healed well. Dr Hiba and her staff were all friendly and kind and followed up quickly on my questions. I would use this dermatologist again.

Loved my experience with doctor Hiba, I started my treatment to great my skin focused on restoring volume, facial harmonization and preventing aging. It wasn’t painful at all, I’m very excited for the following treatments for my pigmentation and boost collagen, she has so many cutting edge lasers and technology that I can’t wait! ❤️

I’ve been attending Dermasurge for the past 4 months for laser and Botox treatments. The staff are all very professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. An excellent TEAM!
Dr. Hiba is amazing, very professional and approachable. During my initial consultation Dr. Hiba provided clear advice and direction, regarding the treatment I was seeking. I felt supported and listened to. A treatment plan was drawn up and each treatment explained in detail.
My laser treatments were done by Manuela, who has been incredible. A top therapist, professional and so friendly. Thank you Manuela for the high standard of care you gave me!
I highly recommend Dr.Hiba and her team.

Everyone at this clinic is really nice and what I like most about Dr Hiba is that she did not try to sell me something, instead she listened to my concerns and recommended a treatment that had my best interests at heart. And i am very pleased with the results.

I had acne in my twenties. Dr. Hiba did a great consultation and prescribed medication that successfully healed my acne. I feel so much more confident in my skin today and am super grateful for the treatment I received. Also, the whole team at Dermasurge is super lovely. Thank you, Dermasurge!

My teenage daughter attended having suffered with bouts of regular breakouts which caused her significant concern and distress. Dr Hiba took the time to explain what was causing the problem and gave very pragmatic and honest advice about the treatment pathway. Less than a week later the results are already evident and my daughter; who only last week felt very low about her skin now has hope that she doesn’t need to suffer any longer.

Ridwana was also incredibly kind and understanding. She shared her own experiences with my daughter making her feel much more at easy.

The entire clinic has a calming yet professional atmosphere which is exactly how the clinical experience also felt.
