Xanthelasma / syringomasBook a consultation Information and rates Xanthelasma Xanthelasma is a condition characterized by yellowish fat deposits beneath the skin, typically located on or around the eyelids. These deposits consist of cholesterol and are often an indication of high cholesterol levels in the blood. While xanthelasma itself is generally harmless, it can be perceived as cosmetically bothersome. Syringomas Syringomas are small, benign skin growths that originate from the sweat glands. They typically appear as small, firm, skin-colored to yellowish bumps, often on the face, particularly around the eyes and on the cheeks. Syringomas are most common in women and usually develop during adolescence or early adulthood. While syringomas typically do not cause medical issues, they can be perceived as cosmetically bothersome. How much does it cost to remove Xanthelasma/Syringomas? Consultation Free Removing Xanthelasma/Syringomen From € 175 Procedure Skin irregularities such as xanthelasma or syringomas can be removed using laser, curettage, coagulation, or, in some cases, surgical methods. Ablative lasers vaporize the skin layer by layer, effectively removing the unwanted area of skin. Curettage involves using a small “scoop” to scrape off wart-like structures from the skin. Coagulation (plasma pen) removes skin irregularities by burning them off with heat. All methods may cause some discomfort, and in some cases, local anesthesia can be used. Treatment guidelines The treatment cannot be performed on sun-tanned skin. Sunscreen with SPF 30/50 must be applied regularly when exposed to daylight for up to 4 weeks after the treatment. If you are taking blood thinners, inform your treating skin therapist in advance. A cold sore must not be present on the day of the treatment. In such cases, the appointment will need to be rescheduled. Amount of treatments The number of treatments varies per person and indication. On average, the skin is treated 1 to 3 times. The treatment can be performed every 3 to 4 weeks.Before and after Before and after: Upper blepharoplasty + xanthelasma removal Recovery and aftercare Recovery After the treatment, the skin will be red, slightly swollen, and feel burning. This burning sensation may last for a few hours up to 3 days after the treatment. It is important to keep the treated area dry for the first 2 days to allow a scab to form. This scab will typically remain visible for 5–7 days on the face and up to 10–14 days on the body. It is crucial to let the scab fall off naturally, as picking at scabs can lead to scarring. Aftercare Keep the treated skin dry for the first 2 days. Avoid rubbing the area. Swimming and visiting a sauna are not recommended for the first 7 days after treatment. Avoid using makeup, skincare products with active ingredients, or products containing parabens and perfume for the first 5 days. Avoid UV exposure for the first 4 weeks after treatment. Use sun protection with a minimum SPF 30 or SPF 50 when exposed to daylight. Do not pick at flakes or scabs to prevent scarring. If injectables are used in the same area, a minimum of 2 weeks should pass between treatments. Other treatments Upper blepharoplastyAn upper blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure in which excess skin above the eyelids, possibly in combination with underlying muscle and fat tissue, is removed. Lower blepharoplastyThe removal of sagging skin under the eyes, possibly combined with the partial removal and/or repositioning of underlying muscle and fat tissue, is referred to as a lower blepharoplasty. Eyebrow liftLow-set eyebrows can give you a gloomy appearance and cause a tired, pressing sensation around your eyes. This can be resolved with a brow lift. Midface liftYou can see a midface lift as an extended lower blepharoplasty. In a midface lift, in addition to addressing under-eye bags, the skin beneath the tear trough is also tightened. Ptosis correctionIf the levator muscle in the upper eyelid does not function properly, it causes a drooping eyelid. This condition is called ptosis and can be corrected with a ptosis correction, also known as levatorplasty. Lower eyelid plasmage Are you bothered by wrinkles or under-eye bags but prefer not to undergo a surgical lower eyelid correction? Then plasmage might be an option for you.
