I want to get rid of xanthelasma around my eyes but I'm worried about surgery or laser treatments. Are there any other options that work without going under the knife or using lasers?

Yes, there are non-surgical and non-laser options for treating xanthelasma. Cryotherapy (freezing with liquid nitrogen), radiofrequency ablation, and electrodesiccation are all effective methods for removing or diminishing the appearance of xanthelasma without surgery.
