If you have yellowish, soft patches near your eyes (called xanthelasma), don't worry - our OC MedDerm dermatology clinic in Irvine can help remove them safely.

For small patches, we use a special laser - it's quick (15-30 minutes) and leaves minimal scarring. For bigger or stubborn bumps, our dermatologists may do a minor surgery to carefully cut them out. We also offer chemical peels for very mild cases.

We offer three safe, effective removal methods:

1) Laser Treatment - Best for small patches. We use a gentle laser to zap the yellow spots away in 15-30 minutes. It stings a little, but we numb your skin first. Heals in about a week with minimal scarring.

2) Minor Surgery - Works best for larger or thicker patches. Our dermatologist carefully cuts out the deposits and uses tiny stitches. Takes about 7-10 days to heal completely. Most effective for permanent removal.

3) Chemical Peel - Good for very mild cases. We apply a special solution that slowly dissolves the patches over 2-3 treatments. Least expensive option with no downtime.

We're real skin doctors (not a spa) who've been doing this for over 20 years. We don't just remove the patches - we also check your cholesterol levels because it's important for your health.

We're right here in Irvine with easy parking and friendly staff. Your first visit is free – come talk to us with no pressure. We’ll explain everything clearly, never pushy. Plus, our prices are fair, and you’ll see real results.
