Xanthelasma in Beaulieu sur Mer
Xanthelasma
Xanthelasma, a benign but common lipid deposit, can dull the beauty of your eyelids. These yellowish slicks, which sometimes darken over time, can cause significant cosmetic damage.
To ensure comprehensive treatment, a biological and cardiological check-up is recommended to monitor the cardiovascular risk factors associated with this condition.
CO2 Laser treatment
Aesthetic medicine in the Alpes-Maritimes
In the past, surgical removal was the only option, but it often left unwanted scars. Today, the best alternative is CO2 laser treatment or plasmapherapy vaporisation, performed under local anaesthetic in the surgery. These non-invasive procedures use heat to destroy lipid deposits, preserving the underlying dermis and avoiding scarring.
Although CO2 laser treatment is effective and safe, it is important to note that recurrences are possible. Several sessions may be required, and recurrence occurs in over 50% of cases around the treated area, regardless of the choice of method.
Advantages of CO2 Laser and Plasmatherapy Treatment
Aesthetic medical ne practice in Beaulieu-Sur-Mer
Treatment of xanthelasma with CO2 laser and plasmapherapy offers significant benefits for patients wishing to regain the clarity of their eyes. These non-invasive procedures have several strong points:
- Scar minimisation: Unlike surgical removal, CO2 laser and plasma therapy significantly reduce the risk of unwanted scarring. Patients can benefit from an aesthetic improvement without compromising the natural appearance of their skin.
- Outpatient procedure: Treatment sessions for xanthelasma using CO2 laser and plasmapherapy take place in the doctor’s surgery, avoiding the need for hospitalisation. This outpatient approach offers patients greater comfort, with rapid recovery in the comfort of their own home.
- Natural results : The technologies used in these treatments deliver natural results. The CO2 laser precisely targets lipid deposits, while plasmatherapy gently vaporises fat cells, preserving the integrity of surrounding tissue.

- Possibility of recurrence: Although CO2 laser procedures and plasma therapy are effective, there is a risk of recurrence in more than 50% of cases. Additional sessions may be required to maintain optimal results.
