Minimally Invasive RF & Surgical Options
*Safe for delicate eyelid skin.
* Performed by Board-Certified Specialists.

We don't just remove the spot; we ensure the aesthetic outcome is flawless. For superficial deposits, RF energy vaporizes the cholesterol cells layer by layer. For larger, deeper lesions, our Plastic Surgeons excise the plaque and suture the skin in the natural eyelid crease, hiding the scar completely. We also guide you on managing cholesterol to prevent recurrence.
Xanthelasma Palpebrarum appears as soft, yellowish, slightly raised plaques on the eyelids, typically near the nose. These are actually deposits of cholesterol under the skin. While they are not painful or harmful, they can be cosmetically bothersome and may indicate high cholesterol levels in the blood.
Removal of cholesterol deposits.
Prevention of lesion enlargement which can affect eyelid function.
Motivation to manage systemic cholesterol health.
The skin around the eyes is the thinnest in the body. Removing growths here requires extreme precision to avoid scarring or damaging the eyelid shape. At Cosmo Radiance, we use Ellman Radiofrequency for surface spots and Micro-Surgical Excision (Blepharoplasty technique) for deeper plaques, ensuring the eyelid remains natural and functional.
We choose between RF (scarless for small spots) and Surgery (definitive for large spots).
Surgical incisions are placed in the natural eyelid crease, making them invisible.
We advise on lipid management to tackle the root cause.
Individuals with yellow patches on the upper or lower eyelids.
Patients seeking cosmetic improvement for tired or aged-looking eyes due to spots.
Those with Xanthelasma that has grown larger over time.
Patients with realistic expectations regarding recurrence (linked to cholesterol).
Healthy individuals suitable for local anesthesia.
* Final candidacy is determined during a 3D Vectra H2 imaging consultation.
Defining the borders of the cholesterol deposit.
Local anesthetic injection to numb the eyelid completely.
Vaporizing with RF or excising with a scalpel.
Fine sutures (if excised) or antibiotic ointment (if ablated).

Starting Estimate
Pricing per eye/lesion. Surgical excision is priced higher due to complexity.
*Final cost depends on BMI grading, treatment zones, and clinical complexity.
Mild swelling and bruising; apply ice packs.

Scab falls off; redness fades. Makeup can be worn.
Complete healing; scars fade into natural creases.
Apply ice packs to reduce swelling for the first 48 hours.
Wear sunglasses to protect healing skin from UV rays.
Keep the area moist with prescribed ointment.
Recurrence (common if cholesterol remains high).
Hyperpigmentation (temporary darkening).
Scarring (minimized by technique).
Ectropion (rare eyelid pulling - avoided by conservative removal).

Protective corneal shields are used during laser/RF procedures to protect vision.
We recommend a lipid profile test to check for underlying high cholesterol.
Strict asepsis to prevent infection in the sensitive eye area.
