Xanthelasma removal in Cleethorpes

Do you have yellowish, soft-looking patches near your eyes, often on the inner corners of your eyelids? These might not be just cosmetic annoyances — they could be xanthelasma. At Aggie Singh Facialist in Cleethorpes, we specialise in gentle but highly effective xanthelasma removal treatments using ThermaVain (thermocoagulation) and CryoPen (cryotherapy). Let’s break down what xanthelasma is, why it happens, and most importantly — what you can do about it.


What Is Xanthelasma?

Xanthelasma palpebrarum is the medical name for those flat, yellowish fatty deposits that appear on or around the eyelids. They’re often symmetrical and can slowly grow over time. While they’re harmless, they can be a visible sign of deeper health issues or simply an unwanted change in your appearance.


Think of xanthelasma like tiny “cholesterol pouches” that the body tucks just under the skin around your eyes — visible reminders of what’s going on under the surface.



Why Do You Get Xanthelasma?


Xanthelasma can form due to a mix of internal imbalances and external influences. Some people assume it’s just from what they put on their skin — but it goes deeper.



Internal Causes of Xanthelasma:



  • High cholesterol levels – even if you eat healthily, your body may naturally produce more cholesterol.

  • Lipid metabolism disorders – the way your body breaks down fat can influence this.

  • Liver function issues – the liver plays a big role in fat processing; sluggish detox pathways may lead to xanthelasma.

  • Hormonal changes – peri-menopause, menopause or thyroid imbalances can be triggers.

  • Genetics – if it runs in your family, you may be more prone to developing it.



External Causes of Xanthelasma:



  • Topical skincare products – heavy creams or oils applied around the eyes (especially mineral oil-based or pore-blocking products) may contribute to fat deposit build-up.

  • Environmental toxins – pollution, smoking, and stress can tax your body’s ability to filter fats efficiently.

  • Poor circulation in the skin – sluggish blood flow around the eyes may prevent efficient fat clearing in that area.



Can Skincare Products Cause Xanthelasma?



It’s rare — but yes, sometimes applying rich under-eye creams or using comedogenic products can overload the delicate skin barrier around the eyes. This doesn’t cause xanthelasma directly but may contribute to stagnation in the tissue, encouraging fatty deposits in predisposed individuals.


If you’re unsure about your eye care products, book a skin consultation with us, and we’ll review your routine to prevent further build-up and guide you on xanthelasma removal methods.



What Can You Do About Xanthelasma?



At Aggie Singh Facialist, we offer two highly effective, minimally invasive solutions that have already helped many clients reclaim their clear, confident skin:


1. ThermoVane / Thermocoagulation for Xanthelasma Removal



This method uses precise heat energy to gently coagulate and dissolve the fatty deposit without damaging the surrounding tissue. It’s fast, safe, and leaves minimal downtime.


✔️ Great for small or thin xanthelasma patches

✔️ Encourages skin tightening and smoother texture

✔️ Often no anaesthetic needed



2. CryoPen / Cryotherapy for Xanthelasma



We apply a controlled freeze to the lesion, which causes the xanthelasma to dry up and flake off over time. It’s like “freezing away the fat” in a completely non-surgical way.


✔️ Precise targeting of xanthelasma only

✔️ No scalpel or cutting

✔️ Quick healing process



“Will Xanthelasma Come Back?”


In many cases, xanthelasma never returns after treatment. However, for some, especially those with ongoing cholesterol or liver-related issues, it might reappear years down the line. That’s why we offer top-up sessions, usually much quicker and gentler than the first treatment.
