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. Additionally, lifestyle modifications and medical treatments for underlying health conditions can help manage the condition and prevent recurrence

Question

I'm dealing with this issue where my palm is getting darker, and a dermatologist mentioned it's hyperpigmentation. I've already tried medications from two different specialists, but it hasnt helped at all. I used to stay up really late for about 6-7 years, around 12 years ago. Im also a vegan. Could any of these be related to whats going on with my skin? I'm really curious about what else I can do to sort this out.
