Effective treatment of Xanthelasma Palpebrarum with laser Er:YAG

Abstract

Case study of exceptional response to treatment of recurrent xanthelasma palpebrarum with an ablative laser. The patient underwent a single session of laser Erbium: Yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Fotona®) 2940 nm, and we performed photographic records with Vectra® H2 2019 before and after the procedure. Satisfactory clinical results were reported, with good pain tolerability and early recovery compared to surgical procedures and, consequently, less time away from work activities.
