Xanthelasma are yellowish deposits of fat that form under the skin, typically on or around the eyelids. While they are usually harmless, they can be unsightly and impact self-confidence. At QC Skin Clinic, we offer advanced xanthelasma removal treatments in Melbourne, helping you restore the appearance of your skin with minimal discomfort and downtime.
There are several techniques to remove xanthelasma, each tailored to the size and location of the fatty deposits.
This technique uses Co2 or Erbium laser technology to target and vaporize xanthelasma deposits. It removes the fatty tissue while causing less damage to the surrounding skin. This method is often recommended for smaller or shallow lesions.
Xanthelasma removal using the radiosurgical technique with the Ellman RF device is a precise and minimally invasive option for eliminating xanthelasma. This method utilizes high-frequency radio waves to gently excise the fatty deposits with minimal impact on surrounding tissue, leading to less scarring and quicker healing. The procedure requires only a small amount of local anesthetic and is ideal for delicate areas like the eyelids.
For larger or more complex cases, xanthelasma surgical removal may be necessary. This procedure involves excising the deposits under local anaesthetic. Our experienced doctors ensure the procedure is as smooth as possible, with attention to minimising scarring and achieving the best aesthetic results.
People have used chemical peels and cryotherapy as alternatives in the past. Nonetheless, their efficacy is low and they may cause scarring.
At our Melbourne clinic, we provide multiple treatment options for xanthelasma removal, ensuring the best outcome based on the size, location, and severity of the deposits. Our cosmetic doctors employ radiosurgical technology for the safe and efficient removal of smaller xanthelasmas. For larger or more intricate ones, they may resort to cosmetic surgery for elimination.
At QC Skin Clinic, we use the Ellman RF device for Xanthelasma removal, which delivers ultra-high-frequency waves to remove Xanthelasma with precision. This technology allows for the delicate shaving of Xanthelasma while preserving the surrounding tissue, making it especially effective for cosmetic removal of Xanthelasma on the face, eyelids.
Xanthelasma commonly appears on the eyelids, which can make them more noticeable and troublesome. Our experienced doctors specialise in eyelid xanthelasma removal, ensuring that delicate areas around the eyes are treated safely, leaving minimal signs of the procedure.

Thanks to local anaesthetics, you will experience little to no pain during the procedure. Any discomfort typically comes from the anaesthetic injection itself.
In most cases, Xanthelasma does not return after removal. This is true if the whole growth is taken out during the procedure. Nonetheless, you may notice the emergence of new Xanthelasma in different areas over time, particularly if you are susceptible to them because of genetic factors or specific health issues. If new xanthelasma appear, they can be easily removed again.
Proper aftercare following xanthelasma removal can help ensure the treated area heals well and minimises the chance of regrowth.
The treated area will form a scab, which will heal over two weeks. Any pink discoloration will gradually fade over several months to reveal the final result.
Doctors recommend keeping the area covered for 2-3 days to promote healing and reduce the risk of infection. Because it is hard to use dressings around the eyelids, our doctor will give you an ointment. You should apply it daily to the treated areas for 2 weeks.
