Electrocautery for Xanthelasma: How Removal Works

We use electrocautery, a precise technique that removes the deposit cleanly and seals the area instantly. Because the eyelid skin is thin and close to the eye, this is exactly where careful, professional technique matters most.

✓ Precise and controlled: Targeted at the deposit, with care for the surrounding skin

✓ Little bleeding: Cauterization seals the area as it works

✓ Minimal scarring: When done properly, healing is clean and discreet

✓ Extra caution near the eye: some locations are referred to a physician or eye-care professional instead of being treated here

Please don’t attempt to remove anything near your eye at home.

Real Results From Our Treatment Room

We don’t have xanthelasma photos we can share yet. These are real Vicaria clients treated in the same James St S room for skin tags, seborrheic keratosis and cherry angiomas, so you can see how a spot and the skin around it look before and after cosmetic removal. Individual results and healing times vary.

Why Hamilton Clients Choose Vicaria for Xanthelasma Removal

We’re trained for cosmetic lesion work, and clear about where that ends. That matters even more when treatment is near the eyes.

• Trained in cosmetic electrocautery: we work inside the cosmetic scope of that training and say so when a case falls outside it
• Sterile technique: it lowers the infection and scarring risk that comes with drugstore kits and home removal
• A clear referral boundary: we do not diagnose skin conditions, so anything that does not look like a straightforward cosmetic case goes to a physician instead of being treated here
• Care with darker skin tones: We adjust technique to reduce the risk of pigment change
• Located in downtown Hamilton: Easy to reach from anywhere in the city

If you’re not sure whether what you have is xanthelasma, we’ll take a look. Sometimes what looks like a yellow eyelid deposit is actually milia (tiny white keratin bumps) or another lesion. We tell the difference and recommend the right treatment.

How Much Does Xanthelasma Removal Cost in Hamilton?

Our pricing is transparent and straightforward. Cosmetic xanthelasma removal isn’t covered by OHIP or most insurance plans, which is why we keep our costs clear and affordable:

• A visit: $99, HST included. It covers the in-person consultation and the first spot.
• Each extra spot in the same visit: $20
• Never more than $299 a visit, however many spots (the cap is reached at 11)
• Same price whatever the size. No size tiers, and no tax added at the end.

What a visit costs, consultation and treatment together, HST included:

• 1 spot: $99
• 3 spots: $139
• 5 spots: $179
• 10 spots: $279

If it’s a doctor’s job, you don’t pay. If we think a spot should be seen by a physician instead of removed, we don’t treat it and we don’t charge for it. If it was the only spot you came for, the visit costs nothing.

Not sure yet? Message us on WhatsApp or call, send a photo if you like, and we’ll tell you whether it suits cosmetic removal and what it will cost. We confirm the total before treatment.

Note: All skin treatments at Vicaria Health are cosmetic procedures performed by certified practitioners who are not physicians, and we do not diagnose skin conditions. Because xanthelasma can be linked to cholesterol levels, we recommend a check-up with your family doctor. For medical skin concerns, please consult a dermatologist.

What Is Xanthelasma?

Xanthelasma (or xanthelasma palpebrarum) are soft, yellowish deposits of cholesterol that form under the skin, most often on the upper and lower eyelids near the inner corner of the eye. They’re harmless and painless, but they tend to grow slowly over time and won’t disappear with creams or home remedies.

Xanthelasma is sometimes linked to high cholesterol or lipid levels, so it’s worth having a check-up with your doctor. The patches themselves, though, are a cosmetic concern, and that’s what we can address.

Xanthelasma and Cholesterol: What the Deposits Can Signal

Xanthelasma is a deposit of cholesterol under the skin of the eyelid. Removing it is a cosmetic procedure, and it treats the appearance, not the cause.

In a good number of people the deposits are associated with raised blood lipids, which is why it is worth having your cholesterol checked by your family doctor if you have not recently. That blood work belongs with a physician, not with us.

Where Vicaria can help is the part that comes after the number. Vicaria is a nutrition coaching practice as well as a cosmetic one, and our blood pressure and cholesterol coaching works on the daily eating patterns behind those results. If you are coming in to have a deposit removed and you also want to talk about the lipids underneath it, that is one conversation we can genuinely have in the same building.

Why Creams and Home Remedies Don’t Work

You’ve probably tried:

• Eye creams and “spot corrector” serums
• Natural remedies you read about online
• Simply waiting for them to fade

The problem is that xanthelasma is a deposit under the skin. Surface treatments can’t dissolve it, and home attempts to remove it near the eye are risky. Professional removal is the reliable way to clear it safely.
