Eyelid lesions vary from harmless cysts to more concerning growths that need evaluation. Some require surgical removal, while many can be treated quickly with our advanced radiofrequency technology. At New York Laser Vision, we'll assess your eyelids to see if this minimally invasive option fits your cosmetic and vision goals.

Removing Eyelid Lesions Safely and Non-Surgically

Eyelid lesions come in many forms, and it’s important to differentiate between those that are harmless and those that require removal. While some eyelid lesions will require surgical excision, there are many that can be easily and quickly removed using our innovative radiofrequency technology. Our dedicated team at New York Laser Vision will thoroughly evaluate your eyelids and determine if our minimally invasive procedure is right for your cosmetic and vision goals.

What Are Eyelid Lesions?

When the tissue in the eyelid undergoes a change of some kind, a pigmented lesion can form. Most eyelid lesions are benign (harmless), but every now and then one may become malignant (cancerous), so it’s important to undergo a biopsy. Eyelid lesions can be removed if they interfere with vision, or if they are cosmetically unsightly.

Common Types of Eyelid Lesions Include…

Seborrheic Keratoses

These are benign growths that occur with the aging process, commonly arising in the eyelids. They can range in color from light brown to black. The texture of SK’s is uneven and can sometimes cause you to scratch at your eyelids, a behavior that may lead to infection if left unchecked. These types of eyelid lesions can be removed if they cause discomfort, if they are cosmetically unappealing, or if they interfere with your vision. Removed lesions are sent to biopsy to confirm they are benign.

Papilloma

These smooth, round growths that rise up from the outer skin layers of the eyelids are associated with aging and may also be called “skin tags”. Occasionally, papillomas have a fleshy, mottled appearance and are caused by viral infection in young people. While these types of eyelid lesions rarely require surgical excision, they can be removed non-invasively for cosmetic reasons.

Nevus

These are moles that frequently appear after prolonged exposure to the sun. They are generally not removed unless they interfere with vision or they become painful or itchy. Any change in the nevus should be brought to the attention of a medical profession who can biopsy it and ensure it is benign.

Hemangioma

These benign tumors tend to occur in infancy, growing larger with time. If the hemangioma is interfering with vision, then it will need to be removed surgically by an eye doctor.

Actinic Keratosis

When the eyelids are exposed for long periods of time to the sun, scaly, light-colored patches may form known as actinic keratosis (AK). These are usually benign, but they should be biopsied nonetheless.

Xanthelasma

In individuals with elevated cholesterol levels or uncontrolled diabetes, yellow-colored, fatty eyelid lesions may form, causing self-consciousness. Laser therapy or radiofrequency energy can be instrumental in removing these lesions and restoring a favorable eyelid appearance.

Skin Cancer (such as basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, sebaceous cell carcinoma)

Cancerous lesions in the eyelids are almost always caused by overexposure to the ultraviolet rays of the sun. These lesions run the risk of damaging your vision, so they should be removed by a medical professional.

How Are Eye Lesions Treated?

At New York Laser Vision, we offer cutting edge, non-invasive treatments to safely remove unwanted eyelid lesions using either radiofrequency energy or laser therapy. RF energy can help stimulate collagen regrowth, which fortifies the skin’s molecular structure and helps smooth away anomalies such as lesions. Laser therapy can help to reverse the negative effects of sun damage, tighten the pores, and create a more even skin tone and texture.

What Are The Benefits of Treatment?

Reduction in irritation cause by raised eyelid bumps
Correction of eyelid lesions that are cosmetically unsightly
Stimulation of collagen and elastin reserves
Improved satisfaction with one’s image
Safe, non-invasive, non-surgical procedure
