Welcome to Dr. Gary Jayne Rothfeld's premier Xanthelasma Treatment Center, located at 629 Park Avenue, New York City. We specialize in advanced techniques to remove xanthelasma and xanthoma quickly, easily, and with spectacular results.
Xanthelasma palpebrarum are soft, superficial, yellow-orange papules, most commonly found on the medial upper eyelids. They are often symmetrical and can appear in individuals with normal lipid levels, though they may indicate hyperlipidemia and an increased risk of occlusive vascular disease. A lipid profile determination is recommended for all patients with xanthelasma.
