Friday feedback!

“I have been attending the Specialist Skin Clinic for many years due to my recurring xanthelasmas, Dr Gonzalez has always been professional, kind and courteous. The first time I attended, I had no idea what to expect, and it was explained to me that xanthelasma can be reduced considerably but would return over time in different areas or even around the same area due to them being genetic in my case. Sometimes it takes two visits to completely eradicate the xanthelasma, although most of the time one visit is enough. I am completely happy with the treatment I have received over the years & would happily recommend Dr Gonzalez to anyone that asks. I feel so much more confident after a visit to the clinic & in my opinion it’s worth every penny.”

💉 How is Xanthelasma treated at Specialist Skin Clinic?

Xanthelasma can be removed using methods such as laser therapy, surgical excision, cryotherapy, or chemical peels.

In some cases, Xanthelasma may indicate underlying cholesterol or lipid imbalance, so a proper evaluation is always essential.

💛 What is Xanthelasma?

Soft, yellowish cholesterol deposits that appear on or around the eyelids. Usually harmless but often a cosmetic issue for patients.

💙 What causes them?

They’re linked to cholesterol buildup in the skin and can occur even in people with normal cholesterol levels.

💬 Have you ever noticed yellow patches near your eyes?

If you struggle to keep moisture in and your skin feels dry and tight, you might be suffering from an impaired skin barrier.

Tip 1 – Simplify your skincare routine
Think cleanser, moisturiser and SPF – remove any retinoids or acids, in particular.

Tip 2 – Gently does it
Limit exfoliation to once or twice a week, focusing on gentle exfoliants and avoid anything that manually exfoliates the skin, like rough scrubs.

Tip 3 – Protection is key
Use an antioxidant-rich serum or moisturiser and broad-spectrum SPF every morning to protect your barrier from UV, pollutants and other environmental factors.

Or ask in clinic about HydraGenesis, which combines the benefits of Hydrafacial and Laser Genesis technologies to support long-term skin health, function, and regeneration.

HydraGenesis delivers deeply hydrated and visibly revitalised skin from the very first session. Over time, continued treatments help restore the skin’s natural barrier and reduce sensitivity.

Winter weather can take a heavy toll on our skin. Cold weather, central heating, and harsh winds can leave your complexion feeling and looking dry, dull, and sensitive as well as skin conditions such as eczema, rosacea and acne to flare up.

Many people need to book an extra appointment with their dermatologist to get advice on changing their skincare routine or medication at this time of year. Get in touch today to find out how we can help.
