  • Title: [Application of laser CO2 for the treatment of xanthelasma palpebrarum].
    Author: Delgado Navarro C, Lanuza García A, Llorca Cardeñosa A, Bañón-Navarro R, Corchero Martin G.
    Journal: Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol; 2013 Aug; 88(8):320-2. PubMed ID: 23886365.
    Abstract:
    METHOD: We treated 12 patients with bilateral xanthelasmas using an ultra-pulse CO2 laser. They were all extirpated, with no differences between the upper and lower eyelids. There were no cases of ectropion or bleeding. All the patients expressed a high level of satisfaction. DISCUSSION: The use of the laser CO2 is a good therapeutic option for treating xanthelasmas especially those located in the lower eyelid, and in young people. It is a safe treatment for delicate periorbital regions, with a low risk of visible scars, and fewer recurrences. The technique can be performed outside the operating room avoiding the anxiety that is created by surgical intervention.
