Background And Objective:
Xanthelasma palpebrarum presents a therapeutic and aesthetic challenge because of its high visibility and frequent rate of recurrence with a wide variety of treatments. Many patients are disappointed by an initial unsuccessful treatment and fail to return for further therapy until the skin problem has become quite conspicuous. A simple treatment with few side effects and good acceptance remains an important goal.
Study Design/Materials And Methods:
Fifteen patients with a total of 33 xanthelasma lesions, were treated by an erbium:YAG laser. The follow-up period of observation was between seven and twelve months.
Results:
All lesions were removed without hyperpigmentation or scarring.
Conclusions:
The erbium:YAG laser represents an effective means for treating xanthelasmas with few side effects.
