Use of ionized plasma jet therapy in the treatment of xanthelasma palpebrarum

Objectives: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of ionized plasma therapy for the treatment of xanthelasma palpebrarum. Material and Methods: A total of 35 patients were enrolled for the study. Patients were screened as per the predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The patients were treated with ionized plasma jet therapy (IPJT) plasma machines. Pre- and post-sizes of the xanthelasma lesions were noted along with the side effects, and the patients were followed up for a period of 90 days. Results: The complete resolution of the xanthelasma lesion was observed in 28 out of 35 patients, with two patients requiring two sessions, five patients developing hypopigmentation, and 1 patient having hyperpigmentation as a side effect, which was resolved after 4 weeks. Conclusions: Based on the results, ionized plasma therapy for xanthelasma palpebrarum can be recommended as a safe and effective option.
