RESUMO
Objective Xanthelasma palpebrarum presents a therapeutic and aesthetic challenge because of its high visibility and frequent rate of recurrence with a wide variety of treatments.Many patients were disappointed by an initial unsuccessful treatment and fail to return for further therapy until the problem had become quite conspicuous.So a simple treatment with few side effects and good acceptance remains an important goal.Methods Eleven patients with xanthelasma lesions were treated with the 1540nm erbium:glass laser.We could see erythema and swell around the skin lesion immediately.It needed irradiate again after one month if there was residual lesion.The end point was the lesions completely removed.The therapeutic effect of 1540nm erbium laser,the adverse reaction and the satisfaction of patients were observed.Results All lesions were removed without hyperpigmentation or scarring.Conclusions The 1540 nm erbium:glass laser represents an effective means for treating xanthelasmas with few side effects and good acceptance.
